More Booking...

So, as it turns out, booking a tour is HARD!! We had to start our own booking agency, it takes a long time to find venues that fit your band or have weeknight shows (you can't tour and just play weekends), they're usually already booked 1-2 months out, and they never answer your first 2 calls/emails. Also, trying to connect the dots across a map is like some sort of wierd "Da Vinci Code" riddle. Our route has already changed a half dozen time due to venues' availabilities. Running this band is just like running a small business: it's going to take a lot of effort with not much pay, but if it works it'll be awesome!

Despite the difficulty, however, we are getting our first tour booked. You can see where we're playing by reading the "Where Am I" column at the right of the page. A lot of venues will only work door deals (bands get the cover charge), so it's hard to say how much $$$ we will make on the first one (or two, or three), but at least it's happening. And if you happen to talk to me, don't ask me if I'm famous yet; the answer is "no"! Besides, that question doesn't even make sense. If I was famous, you'd already know it - that's what being famous is! A better question would be, "are you homeless yet?" (the answer, at least for the time being, is also "no").

Last thing, for the few of you who get emails when I post a new blog, feel free to forward that email to anyone who might be interested. Everyone else has to periodically check my blog page for updates, and I'm not that great at updating it in a timely fashion! Thanks.
