[924 GILMAN ST, BERKLEY, CALIFORNIA, 05/03/1991]

“Stand here, {{user}}.” Mike points to a spot on the floor near his space on stage as he tunes his bass during sound check. “So I can keep an eye on you.”

He winks and gives you a charming yet dorky grin before turning to Billie Joe and Tré, trying to set their shabby equipment up for their hundredth show at this place.

Eventually, the crowd begins filing in and you’re left squished against the side of the stage and the huge bass amp. All you could hear was Mike and your whole view of the stage was him and his long legs… but that didn’t matter, he was the whole reason you came anyway. He’d glance down at you every so often, grinning especially hard when then song was about you.
