The “official” memorial event for Mike O’Neill, organized and hosted by his good friend Ed Lowery and “sponsored” by Mike’s family, who will be in attendance. Funeral and/or cremation services will be out of town and attended by family and very close friends alone, so this is your one and only chance to pay your respects to our departed friend.
According to Ed, the live music lineup will definitely include Flat Stanley (featuring Mike’s former drummer and longtime friend Fred Stolz) and The 39 Steps (who Mike loved, and with Ed behind the kit). Other performers will be announced soon, along with times and cost. The proceeds will go to Mike’s family.
Mike’s coworker Jeff Houck (side salad) sent me the info early last week.
Also, Tampa Bay Muse moved their O’Neill Tribute page.

It’s my understanding that things will be getting started possibly a little earlier, and Flat Stanley won’t be playing.
I’ve put together a DVD of a video recording someone else did of the Unrequited Loves live @ the Hub. The first batch are spoken for, but anyone interested is welcome to contact me via my blog to make arrangments to get a copy.
Tiny, you are in the first batch, if I don’t see you tonight.

Hello…we were with Mike the Saturday before Monday the 17th. Our group is called The Four Shames and we played many shows with URL. Loved them so much. How could we arrange for a DVD?
Thanks for your time, Shadow Pearson
