Much Digits!
Book! Book! Book! Pop! Pop! Pop!
I spend too much damn time in front of the computer these days to muster the energy and enthusiasm to blog. Don't get me wrong, I'm in good spirits these days - tour's coming together, PDXPOP is almost here, "Heights" will be shooting out everywhere soon, and the weather is beautiful - it's just that there's quite a bit of stasis involved in achieving this much flux!
Many of my tour booking anxieties have resolved themselves of late. My initial instincts about which big cities would be hardest to book were completely wrong - I had nothing in California booked until a few days ago. I hadd to explain how many damn people we know in LA and that they will come to see us. Especially if we promise them pizza and free decoder rings (I'm not promising that by the way). New York, on the other hand, has been booked to some extent for a while, with final Tank/Alex plans in the works. My wish list is now: Chicago, Atlanta, Chapel Hill, Omaha. Weird how perceptual geography differs from projectionist geography. Also, Chris has been a good man-on-the-ground gettin Texas booked. We'll be spending more time in that state than I originally expected, which is good. It makes it soom more like an international tour. Set up a show with Paul Bost in LA and one with Eric Hirsch in LA. Old faces coming out to play.
As Greg has documented, reccently we've spent much time shrinkwrapping and otherwise preparing the PDXPOP compilation CDs for public release. I placed them in stores in Friday, and several stores have already sold out! We've known that we have a quality product here - 35 excellent local tracks, 2 discs, for $7 - and it's nice to get some validation from the public. The official CD release party (the first actual PDXPOP event) is this Thursday. the festival itself is next week! WOW! www.pdxpopnow.com by he way, for the 400th time.
Here is the PDXPOP oddjob I have been charged with for tomorrow: I will be meeting Organizer Anne at the PDX Red Bull warehouse where I will pick up 36 cases of Red Bull. I will then drive said 36 cases of energy drink to Oregon City where I will trade them for cases of water which will then be brought back up to Portland for consumption and death-prevention at the festival. How King's Quest is that?!
I just wish I had time enough to go out and by the new MegaMan Classic series for GameCube (ALL of the original MegaMan games on one disc, including ones never before released stateside)!
Tour sounds fun.
