Frienemies

Mike has a lot of friends that do things. Musicians and artists, there's usually some thing going on that is near and dear to a friend's heart. Even Mike will have an endeavor, such as a series of cocktail parties that a particular friend may go to almost every one, and show up promptly and punctually every time he does.

Mike Wachs, however, is not one to give.

Last night, I was playing a music show with David Israel and the Platelet at beerland. Mike likes David, and our friend Carolyn is also in the band. That means there are three times as many people invested in this music show than who were invested in mike's themed cocktail parties.
Guess who didn't show up.

Guess who called him, and pleaded with him, albeit while inebriated, to come support us and what we were doing to express ourselves.

"Yawn," is what I heard, before my friendship with Mike ended.
