DANIEL BLUE: MEET MIKE STASIAK >>>

Mike Stasiak is a reasonable man. Pictured here humbly plucking out a beautiful tune at this year's Dear Fest, he will travel back to N.Y.U in the fall where he is seeking a higher education than the one he got already, heyuck'.  Any man in a bolo is a friend of mine, because a bolero is a Mexican cowboy tie.   

Once Mike dressed like a pirate and danced in choreography; that was a good day. 

Another time, mike was going to trade me my car for his mini-van so that I could go get a scooter in Chehalis, I remember thinking how generous he was.   

In general, Mike is a man of few words, but when he does decide to speak, it is usually the kind of thing you are happy to hear.   

Someone raised this boy well, it was probably the Spanish because he is so good-looking.   

His songs were soft, and heartfelt, the ones that he had written himself were extremely poetic and on par with early Simon and Garfunkel.   

Always humble and careful to offer credit where it is due, Mike has secured a place in the hearts of this city's young culture, and we welcome him back with open arms.
