Mike's Place Benefit Concert - Toronto, Canada

The Concert was awesome.
We raised about nine thousand shekels.

We realize that this is just a drop in the bucket for what the people who need our support require, but also more than that it was a true Mike's Place night.

Every band was great and the closing Jam session was just amazing for those who were in for the long haul.

More than that, Mike Vigoda -yes the original Mike - regaled us with tales of the early days of the bar in between each act.

I wish you all were there. It was just classic. Best of luck to the rest of the concerts in a few weeks and Avi you better get ready for the biggest damn bottle of Jack Daniels you've ever seen!

We also got a great guestbook for everyone to sign that Joey is gonna bring back in time for the gig in Tel Aviv.

Peace out y'all
Canadian Mike
