How to go on tour
It made me 
"so worth it!!! so much hard work, but so fun!"
How I did it: 100's of hours of hard work on the internet. seriously, expect to be shot down 100 times for every one show you get confirmed. expect to be actively ignored. keep trying. it's an endurance test. don't give up. venues and promoters for some reason only take you seriously if you harass them constantly for months. also, don't even think about touring without merchandise. otherwise you will lose your ass. and don't be afraid to ask for guarantees. the worst that can happen is they say no, and the best that can happen is you get it!
Lessons & tips: learn to live off of beer, because food and sleep will be rare commodities.
