Promotional appearances Redux

Topic: Promotional appearances Redux

Pillot's got us doing so many promotional appearances that it's
becoming way too confusing to keep up.

Bill didn't know that Austin was a freebee: he called to say the club
wasn't providing congas. Well, duh...they're not providing jack shit,
so to speak. So we're spending close to $3k on transportation and
lodging for a YepRoc showcase. I guess the rest of the guys ought to
know this, too.

The 'West Coast' trip is coming together. I call it that because we
end up on the west coast, though we start in Colorado.

I've implemented TripIt.com into our itineraries. It's a handy web-
based application that I can put together all of our travel
information into one place. Now the group can access all of the
travel info, so they don't have to ask me questions. Also, it's
proven to be really handy for me when I book rooms: I can see if I've
made any mistakes.

I don't know: there's a lot of stuff to learn out there, and the stuff
out there is very useful, and I'm getting older, so the more I know,
the easier it'll be to keep on track.

Time to go to work.

The Kate, Old Saybrook, CT, 2/11/18

We played the Kate on a very wet Sunday night. It was our third appearance there and as always, the audience was great and so were the staff.   We played a fairly well-rounded set list, mainly to listeners, as there isn’t much room at the Kate to dance.  It was a good show, and afterwards we sold and signed CDs.  It’s always great to see our fans. I hope it’s not 4 more years until we play there again!

FitzGerald’s American Music Festival, Berwyn, IL

Date: July 2, 2009 11:59 AM Topic: FitzGerald's American Music Festival, Berwyn, IL It's amazing how Fitzgerald can alter his club to accommodate an event with so much entertainment and yet keep the Fitzgerald's feel. The groups that played were amazing, from Bill Kirchen to Marcia Ball, and of course BeauSoleil. Since we had flown in on the day of the first show, July 1, we were a bit tired but played very well inside the club stage. On Thursday, after getting rest, we played the outdoor stage and really kicked it up. Points to note for this trip, and more specifically O'Hare airport: Continental has moved its gates to the United Terminal, in anticipation of the Star Alliance merger later this year. No more Northwest and Delta!
