I'm sick of politics

So the band is getting serious, we have a tour planned with some awesome guys from Philadelphia called And We Danced from July 7th-22nd. This will be our first tour, and we get to go some cool places, like Maine, Boston, Philadelphia, and New Hampshire.

I really want to do another week or so before I go back, but I don't want to do a headlining or co-headlining tour, but that is a peculiarity of metal and hardcore--you usually do headlining tours before anyone else will take you out, but I'll pay my dues.

I am surprised that I have yet to have a promoter try and bargain with us, they have all taken our guarantee and one even said he'd give us more.

It is also a really interesting experience trying to figure out how much to ask promoters to pay. I have always been in the other guy's shoes, and we are getting more per show than I used to pay bands that had national fanbases.
