Leads

I got an email from Paul B. he isn't going to be around in Arcarta the time we were looking at (june 25th) but he recommended the green house, which is a house venue. i will look into that. too bad, i was really hoping to see paul. ah well George 12:07, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

i emailed the green house - waiting for a response. seems like a really rad place!! George 13:37, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

Places to still work on

San Francisco, Olympia, Sacramento, Big Sur, San Diego... Patrick 18:56, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

...Seattle...

I emailed Humbolt University's college radio station and they got back to me today about trying to set up an interview or studio session, Julie Ryan is the Music Director and seems really nice, so we'll see...Patrick 21:55, 12 May 2007 (EDT)

maybe she knows a nice place to play? i finally heard back from the green house. rejected. ah well. George 11:09, 18 May 2007 (EDT)

peter, get in touch with Ross. He could add you to a festival he's booking and get you places to stay. he's waiting to hear from you...Stephsaw 09:29, 5 June 2007 (EDT)

Flights

OK, peter, it doesn't look like i can fly back with you - the cheapest ticket on your flight is $302. i found another through united that is a $148 with a 5-hour layover in Las Vegas - which sounds ridiculous and amazing. George 11:35, 23 May 2007 (EDT)

Tourism

I would like to be in anacortes on June 20th to see calvin/julie doiron/and mt. eerie. can we do this? George 15:01, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

Sure, any ideas on how we can try to play with them in L.A. and make it work?....Patrick 15:11, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

What is the date of the LA show? when is the mantar show at belmont dreams? we should just do belmont dreams in LA! George 15:15, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

if we really go to san diego - i would like to see some family there! i know a cool record store too. George 15:16, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

FEIST! hey guys! i know we talked about going to see feisty in portland. it's the 25th, which is a free day - but so is the 26th when she is playing in san francisco. and that is more of a halfway point. just putting it out there. FEIST!! --George 10:05, 10 June 2007 (EDT)

Other stuff

I think the very last show of the tour should be at our house, "Sleep Over Show", everyone we know here brings blankets, sleeps outside, inside, etc... Patrick 22:25, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

Magic Tijuana Show Added! Moisés was kind enough to add us to the bill on June 29th with his band Kixly and Lucky D's and Bobby Birdman, should be an amazing show! MEXICO!

Hey guys,,, The Portland show at the Rotture got a venue change to the Branx, The guy who set it up was really apologetic to switch it up on us, but I guess this place is right across the street and is fine for the bands that are playing so, no biggie i think...Patrick 22:02, 12 May 2007 (EDT)

So, super big awesome sigh of relief, we can borrow the van for the whole time for sure...Patrick 03:21, 17 May 2007 (EDT)

Bed and board

Any ideas on where we can stay?
