|
|
<li>read every single post on his <a href="http://www.mikedoughty.com/blog/">blog</a></li>
|
|
<li>saw him at <a href="http://www.leespalace.com/">lee's palace</a> in toronto - bought an autographed copy of rockitty-roll (his solo EP).</li>
|
|
<li>pre-ordered a copy of his re-release of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0006FO8SO/walkah-20">"Skittish/Rockity Roll"</a> - with a tshirt</li>
|

<li>pre-ordered of his first "official" solo album <a href="http://stores.musictoday.com/store/dept.asp?dept_id=3709&band_id=828" id="3709&band_id=828">haughty melodic</a></li>
|
|
<li>ordered tickets to see him play the <a href="http://rivoli.ca/">rivoli</a> in Toronto in May.</li>
|
|
<li>not to mention, i'm in the top 20 for "<a href="http://www.audioscrobbler.com/music/Mike+Doughty">mike doughty fans</a>" over at <a href="http://www.audioscrobbler.com/">audioscrobbler</a> (he's my #2 on my top artists list).</li>

i'm not totally sure what's gotten into me. perhaps it's too much time alone in the basement. but mike - if you're reading (and I'm *sure* you are) - I'll see you in May and keep on rockin'.
