If any bands need help booking tour dates, I'll do it for $10 per confirmed gig.

OK WOW...sounds like a killer deal!

I'd be more than willing to pay you to help book August 9 thru at least the 26th. I have some fancy-schmancy press kits just sitting in my garage....

can you do that?

Yes. I need to know where you want to go on this tour.
We'll also need to meet up and discuss your needs.

wow! how could we not do this? Do you have a minimum? Like, if I just wanna get out for a weekend, but am lazy, would that be worth it to you?

I'll do it for anyone that doesn't suck. What I mean is, if you can't even get a local gig there's no way I will try booking a tour for you.

Levi, I'll book you out of town shows for weekends. I'll even help you develop a promotional plan for these shows, but I'll want to negotiate some type of payment for those efforts too.

SuperGiant wants to do 4 weeks on the east coast in Aug/Sept. (pending the success of the upcoming tour) we'll have to talk when we get back from this tour!

Our plan for this summer is little, three-or-four day trips. Between our other commitments (work, bands, etc) we just can't pull off more. We have one set up, and leads elsewhere, but it would be easier to have someone help us fill in holes on those. I'll be in touch when we have dates!

Serious? 10 bucks? Do you have a specific area you focus on or is this all over the US? Do you have psychic powers like Professor X that tells you where every booking guy and venue is in the world? That's awesome! Let's meet up Terry.

I just have a lot of time on my hands for the next few months.
I've never booked anything back east before, but I'm sure they work the same way as most everywhere else.

Terry! We're in!
Can I get your number so we can talk dates and areas? Will you send it to ya ya's myspace? Maybe I can get it from Jarvis.
What a genius idea.

Ok, here's our wishlist:

Aug 9-Amarillo, TX
Aug 11-Oklahoma City, OK
Aug 12-Tulsa, OK
Aug 13-Little Rock, AR
Aug 14-Shreveport, LA
Aug 15-Dallas, TX
Aug 16-Austin, TX
Aug 18-San Antonio, TX
Aug 19-Abilene, TX
Aug 20-Lubbock, TX
Aug 21-Roswell, NM
Aug 22-Ruidoso, NM
Aug 23-Las Cruces, NM

To me, booking is just one of those things that either you've got the vibe for or you don't. I guess you do, eh? I have a hard time finding the right kind of conversation that'll convince booking types that we are a great live band.
(funky-gritty-dirty-drunk-sweaty-smoky bar band unashamedly of the old school variety).
Other people have had success getting us into clubs that I couldn't get into earlier that same week...or day.
This is just a wishlist to show you what we're looking for--and we're campers and 2/3 of us rarely shower, so all we really need are shows with an audience of old school drunks shelling out a little bit of money to get us cigarettes, beer, cheap vodka, beef jerky and move us further on down the road.

If you want to talk about it you can call me...We'll totally pay you more if you can get it booked.

Booking isn't very much fun and I've attracted a bit more demand than I thought I would so I'm going to raise my rate to $15 a show.

Thanx 4 the e-address TERRY. Still don't know your last name though. But I think I can find it now.
