Well, yesterday was an unpleasant day my children.
Turns out some one or some thing has caused my brake line to sever.
It doesn't look like sabotage, but it did almost kill me!

This has caused a potential problem for heading to the wild West and doing my New England shows... but do not lose hope.

New England looks to have a replacement vehicle to help me out, so I'm not too worried about that.

As for the westward tour... I have to figure something out.

Even if I get this repaired, I don't know that I trust this car enough to drive all the way out there and stay out for so long.
I may have to either fly out and get better paying shows, a series of reliable drivers, and break the tour into two smaller tours.

I mean... realistically, California and Texas alone are both massive, and seem to be where I have the most support (maybe that's why), but I could easily play a week and a half in each state I think.
There are a lot of places in both states that I see show up a lot in "come to _____ messages" and friend requests.



I can't post dates yet since I need to figure out what's going on with the car.




Oh... and to answer your question why it's so hard to pay for these things.
I'm buying a PA system.
I'm tired of the lack of NJ based DIY shows like you wouldn't believe and I'm tired of bad sound guys.
If I want to be loud enough and sound good, I guess I have to do it myself, since many sound guys out there can't figure out how to get both.

Yeah... that's pretty much the main thing I wanted money generated from the album to go towards.



Oh hey, if you are from NJ and know of a place that DOES have DIY shows or just open minded things going on let me know.... also if you live in NJ and want to give me a job, bwahahaa.... ah....





BY THE WAY.
The album is now $9 + shipping and I have like 40 copies of the split left! Feel free to go to the bigcartel page and buy them... or both... or 100 copies of the CD and 40 copies of the split.
