To escape the great depression here in Europe, me and my favorite ally are going on a US roadtrip later this summer!!
We will be driving from Washington DC to Dallas, Texas, where we will finally get our lucky '13' s tattooed on Friday the 13th at Elmstreet tattoos. (even roadtrips need a purpose, right?)
So why this topic? I'd like to get some tips, maybe in time plan some gigs/shows/meets along our route. Anything really, I don't know anything about the US except for literature, spoonfed television and some documentaries!
The three week route will be:
Washington DC -> Roanoke -> ??? -> Jack Daniel's brewery
-> Nashville -> Memphis -> Vicksburg -> New Orleans -> Austin -> Dallas
I feel very proud that grinding the deskjob for the past two years allows us to do this and got me a nice modular and improved studio, yet I feel for most of my friends and acquaintance, who are not able to enjoy roadtrips or modulars or pay their bills. These days with the trouble, all the misery, hate and western economy failing, it's a strange feeling to feel happy and lucky in such terrible times!
