Punknews.org is proud to present a new feature from Suburban Home's Mike Hale (Gunmoll, In The Red) called "For Those Still Standing". Mike packed up his belongings, moved out of his apartment, and committed himself to literally living as a touring musician. For the next while, Mike is going to be checking in to share his experiences. Mike Hale had this to say:

My name is Mike Hale. I'm 34 years old, and today was the last day of my life. I packed up my tools with a little extra care at the end of my work day today. Who knows when they'll be used again. Did i mention that I'm a carpenter / was a carpenter?

That's kind of the problem. Ive been wanting a different life for so long. I cant' remember a time when i wasn't wishing for it.

I play guitar and sing a little too. That, also being part of the problem. it's all I've ever wanted to do. so much so, that everyday, I spend almost every minute day-dreaming about it........

Gave my boss notice, sold my truck, have a safe place to store all my personal shit. I'm going on tour... full time. By full time I mean that from now on my occupation will solely consist of playing music. I will either be touring on my own or with In The Red. I'm leaving this life behind.

His first post should be up this afternoon. We are really proud of Mike and really excited for him, too. We urge everyone to read his posts on Punknews and support him and his band, In the Red, whenever possible. We will be sure to let you know as each column is posted.

So is there going to be a page for all of these updates or are we going to have to check the punknews site and look through pages and pages of updates? I'm really hoping for a dedicated page with an RSS feed at the very least. hmmmm

stoked though, can't wait for him to make his way up to the pacific northwest
