January 2012 Tour: Preamble


1/9/11

I'm a very excited, and a bit nervous for this next tour. I'm again returning to Fayetteville, and playing shows along the way to and back from Fayetteville. I'm excited to play with the Sweets again, and to take them to some new venues. This time, we're taking the band to Springfield, MO, and Tulsa, OK. When I leave from Fayetteville to make my way back home, I'll be playing shows in Dallas and Austin, TX and New Orleans. I've never been to TX before, so I'm excited about that. I have been to New Orleans once, but that was a field trip with my high school marching band, in which we took place in the Jazz Festival Parade. So it will be interesting to visit without chaperones and an agenda (besides the show). I'm also excited for the Waka Winter Classic, which is a battle of the bands in which the winner has the honor of performing at Wakarusa, a music festival on Mullberry Mountain in AR. 

I'm a bit nervous for this tour because David and I were unable to save up money for the tour like we did last time. We're going into this with a few hundred bucks, and hoping that I make enough money along the way to make it through, with gas and food expenses, to the end. I just gotta trust in my abilities, and hope that people will we be able to support me and buy my merch. So, fingers crossed. I'm ready to get on the road again!
