How I did it
How to go on tour
It took me
6 months
It made me

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 guaran… Read how I did it…

run 1000 miles in 2008 (read all 2 entries…)
there's no way i'm going to make this 13 months ago

a 60 hour work week thru the whole summer and a knee injury have put me so far behind that there’s just no way i can get caught back up. i did run my first marathon (chicago) this year, so i have that to be proud of. but i have to give this one up. i’ll get it next year. to those of you who are making it, great job and keep it up. to the rest of you, i’‘ll see you at the “run 1000 miles in 2009” goal.
