For you Mingering Mike Fans--b,121b,121There's a great new cover story on Mike in today's Washington City Paper, the first feature to be written about him here in DC. Jason Cherkis did a fantastic job of interviewing him and really telling his story in much greater detail than I was able to do when we put the book together. b,121b,121There's new artwork, music, and some awesome song lyrics that Mike wrote recently. Dude's a poet.b,121b,121a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/display.php?id=36388" target="_blank"1Check it out here./a1b,121b, 21 b,121Mike drew this for the cover:b,121b, 21img src="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/cover/2008/1024/main/mingering-horse.jpg"1

Mike would draw the promotional fliers. Warren would hang them up around the post office where he worked. b,121b,121 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/melt.gif" alt="" /1 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/melt.gif" alt="" /1 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/melt.gif" alt="" /1

    Another great read and really happy to hear that Mike's story is still getting publicity and hasn't been treated like the latest flash in the pan news of the week. A movie about Mike's life is an interesting idea though it'd depend a lot on which way the decided to present it I guess.

    I'd rather see a documentary on MM's imaginary career, or possible on the real Mike's life. b,121b,121But a movie starring Jamie Fox as Mike? I don't know. b,121b, 21On the other hand, Mike might get paid if it were a Hollywood feature, and thats good.
