## Resource

Episode 605 opens with Mike addressing the wave of community response to last week's meet and greet voicemail, making clear this isn't a pile-on. It's a conversation. This week: Mike opens with a direct message to Michael, apologizing for how big the story blew up and inviting him to come on the podcast. Then: voicemail after voicemail from fans who were at the Charlotte show, The NorVa, Nashville, Chicago's Metro, Anaheim, DC, and San Francisco, all sharing their own meet and greet experiences and perspective on what went down. Callers include an attorney who was in the Charlotte line, a fan who hit the driving range with Mike in 1999 (and remembers Ghoti Hook as the opener), members of Too Bad Eugene, and Hannah from LA, whose question about Mike's background setup closes out the episode with a full show-and-tell tour. Also: New MxPx album update, and the end of the Find a Way Home era. UPCOMING MxPx SHOWS: Jun 12: Mike Herrera Solo Outdoor acoustic show, downtown Bremerton, WA (FIFA World Cup fan zone) Vans Warped Tour 2026: DC (Jun 13-14), and all remaining dates. See mxpx.com. Sep 5: Punkadeka Festival, Milan, Italy
