Today a dear friend and love of mine, Traci Michaelz passed away.

It is all so surreal to me. doesn't feel right. as though something in this world just disappeared.

I had the pleasure of meeting Traci a little over two or three years ago at a party in the art district of Los Angeles. I remember the shows and outings on sunset. how he would drop by and sit up with me all night having heart to hearts. watching him attempt to play guitar hero :P. filming a music video in my old apartment. he helped coax me out of my shell. made me feel more valuable than I ever thought myself worth. He was a good friend. offered me companionship when I had none.

Traci did more than just dream. he made them a reality unlike so many of us. he was spontaneous and lived in the moment. and was THE life of the party. he answered to no one aside from himself. He lived the way HE chose to. his personality was addicting. let that serve as an inspiration to us all. He LIVED life to the fullest extent he could.

So tonight all of us who were blessed in knowing him and all of his dedicated fans, pour yourselves a shot and shoot it all the way to the back of your throat in honor of our loved Traci Michaelz.

I never saw Traci play. The only way I ever saw him was in video's
and pics. He will live on forever. Where ever you are Traci, I hope
it's a much better place. RIP..........

I knew Traci for 13 years.He was a wonderful friend and for a while my love.I have never known anyone so passionate about what they did than Traci.He was fun,sweet,loyal,talented and beautiful.The memory I want to share is how one night we were hanging out and as always I was admiring his vast collection of bracelets and watching him talking xcitedly about new music he was working on I decided to go over and remove his triple ring bondage bracelet.He didn't even notice .After a while he looked down and said "hey I have a bracelet just like yours look!" and then he realized that mine was his.He thought it was so funny that I had gotten it without him knowing that he let me keep it.I still have it and as always I still have him in my heart. R I P My Love
