I always feel sad when a shitty band from my local scene goes on tour. They are 'pumped' about their future, expanding their fan base, and get to remind ppl how awesome 'bein on the road' is [via facebook status/twitter/etc]. Before going on tour, a band must come up with merch, burn a bunch of CDs for resale, and possibly make a massive stickers+buttons order. Thinking about buying more than just t-shirts this year. Might actually 'buy a human' that is branded with our band, and sell him/her as a sex slave. Apparently females buy more t-shirts, so we might sell a male instead of a woman. Might take a good bro on tour to work the merch table.

Feel excited about human trade, and branding humans for profit. Reminds me of when America was 'actually pretty awesome' [via slavery]. Kinda weird how different things are now.

My band is taking our bassist's mom's van on the road. Gonna try hard not to hotbox it.

It's gonna be sick. It'll be a tight squeeze, but I think we'll remember these hard times when we are touring across the country in a sweet tour bus, playing PlayStation4 and getting our dicks sucked by groupies. We just gotta pay our dues. I know our music is good, and we have a cool layout and a devoted fan of followers on twitter/myspace. We just gotta grow with our local scene, and prove to the bigger cities that we have a really good product. I think if we just keep playing, raise some money for studio time, then put in a lot of hard work to market it and get it into the hands of the right people, then we can do it. Might film meaningful parts of our road trip, then make a 'tour video' with our most meaningful song in the background.

This tour is going to be the start of something beautiful.
Going to start working on t-shirt designs. Will probably have a bird, some sort of guitar, and something 'natural' with our band name written in a kewl font. Printed on American Appy shirts.

Do yall know any annoying bands in ur local scene who think they are going to make it?
Feel free to post their myspace/twitter URL in the comments, and tell people 'why' they are funnie. Like '______ is a shitty indie band from _____ trying to make it. They are funnie because the lead singer works at Starbucks and dates the local altWhore.'
