My tour/trip is officially mapped out. It turned into one full month and shows will be almost daily. I am waiting on emails to solidify booking in many of these places. Please help if you know someone in that area or can suggest a venue / bar / cafe / art collective / house show, etc too. This is much appreciated.

need venues if you want me to tell friends, sounds tiring tho, shold sched some days off!

thegirlinyourhead: oh goodness, that's an error. it's mississippi not michigan, i'm sorry! i'm not going north. i have friends in michigan so i know of the blind pig. that's awfully nice of you to post all the info for it. another time for sure. likely in fall or next spring. where do you live?

Aleigh: If you're only spending one day there, the Downtown Mall is the place to be. It's not a shopping mall (though there are retail businesses there), but rather a mall in the classical sense, where they blocked off several blocks of main street from traffic right in the heart of the city. It's the cultural hub of central Virginia. Gravity Lounge is on one of the side streets.

I highly recommend getting lunch at Marco & Luca's dumpling place inside the York Place building. The possibilities for dinner on the mall are endless, and several restaurants have outdoor seating. Later on, Miller's and Rapture are the places to be. Both have pool tables. Miller's is more of a traditional bar, and is where Dave Matthews was serving drinks when he met his bandmates. Rapture is a bit more spacious, and has a club area in the back which may or may not have a DJ on any given night. There are also several upscale yuppie places that I don't know very well, since many of them are rather new. If you're still not done by closing time, the local gay club, Club 216, is open until 5 a.m., and usually quite fun. Technically you need to be a member or an invited guest, but that's usually not hard to swing. All of this is within a few easily-walkable blocks.

I find it strange you're hitting every major city in GA, but not Atlanta..... is there some reason?

@cob: you're just silly. :P

@cob: what's scary is I could totally do that. :P

Where are you playing in Lancaster?
This sounds insane....yet fun. I'm so proud!

@Aleigh the acrobat.. i live in michigan. moving to ann arbor in 6 weeks. YEA. i spent all last summer there. one of my favorite places in the US. let me know when you play the mitten.

liza: That would really great if you wanted to shoot him my info or give him a heads up that I'd be emailing. I'm looking for July 19th... call/text me or something! Thank you!

beccah: It's nothing against Atlanta, as I've never even been to GA, but it just worked that way by way of my convenience even though it IS out of the way to go to SC before Athens, but I already have that gig booked. I've always wanted to go to Athens, Augusta is where my boyfriend grew up so I want to play in his town, and Savannah seems interesting and along the way! Next time for sure though. Is that where you live?

Val: Ok good, good! I don't know if I'll play or just hang out for the night but I'll be there either way :) Still trying.

thegirlinyourhead: Awesome! Musically, you should check out unless you already know them, Chris Bathgate, Misty Lynn and the Big Beautiful, and Matt Jones. Music friends of mine who are wonderful and live in Ann Arbor.
