Check out my new touring resource website- torganon.com[views:7620][posts:38]______________________________________ [Apr 10,2008 1:59pm - gravityblast ""] Hey guys, I've just launched a touring resource website for bands that some of you may be interested in. It's got a venue database that people can add to and update, all kinds of maps, articles, interviews, and so on. Check it out and tell me what you think...the good, the bad, the ugly, everything. Thanks for reading. www.torganon.com -Jeremy |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 2:03pm - dreadkill ""] i just skimmed around on the website a little bit, so i haven't gotten in-depth with it, but so far i'm impressed with it. good stuff. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 2:49pm - cav nli ""] sounds like a great idea. from the perspective of someone who has been in a band for a while but never been on tour im sure it would be of some help. maybe itd be good to have a "stuff you need to bring with you on tour" section. im always wondering about those items that you regret not bringing once your out there on the road. maybe add a tips and advice section something like that. |

| __________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 3:24pm - Niccolai ""] This website is excellent, I just registered my band on it. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 3:31pm - the_reverend ""] I'm going to kick you out of that band. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 3:33pm - Kinslayer ""] ? Pretty cool so far... |

| ______________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 3:58pm - the_reverend ""] I back leon's article hard. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 4:14pm - dreadkill ""] leon's article is great. just read it over. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 4:17pm - archaeon ""] This has a ton of potential. good idea. |
| _________________________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 4:22pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] this is kinda neat from what I've seen, the gas and weather shit is bomb |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 4:30pm - corpus_colostomy ""] leon has the ticket- |
| __________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 4:35pm - brian_dc ""] Bring bulk amounts of edible condoms. This is all I know about touring. And it's just based on raw logic. |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 4:37pm - corpus_colostomy ""] BRING TRASHBAGZ FOR TEH WWWEEEDZ |
| ______________________________ [Apr 11,2008 4:52pm - blue ""] my number 1 rule for touring: 1 pair of pants. |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 5:08pm - corpus_colostomy ""] would they be "hotpants?" |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 11,2008 5:22pm - the_reverend ""] shit your pants? |

Good suggestion. We'll add it to the article list. A friend sent me Leon's thing and I thought it was really good, especially for being a quick general write up. We're going to have guest writers for articles in the future, is there anyone else in particular that you guys would like to hear from? Thanks for all the feedback, lets make this awesome. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 12,2008 1:42am - the_reverend ""] I think leon's thing is version 3 |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 12,2008 10:26am - immortal13 ""] Awesome idea. Very convenient for our broke asses going on tour for the summer. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 12,2008 11:13am - the_reverend ""] make a cellphone/sidekick version since most bands will check on tour. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 12,2008 11:13am - the_reverend ""] *points at http://text.returntothepit.com * |
| ____________________________ [Apr 12,2008 11:22am - ""] Thanks, I'm already working on it. It'll be pretty crucial. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 13,2008 12:18pm - gravityblast ""] One last time |
| _____________________________________________ [Apr 13,2008 1:30pm - markfuckingrichards ""] I'll definitely have to take a look @ the site when TYAG is back from tour. For a band that collectively has not toured that much at all, I think we're doing pretty damn well so far. I'll be comparing our experience to the site and see how everything matches up. In my opinion, you can never have enough resources like this since everyone ends up with different stories, perceptions and attitudes when it comes to the touring experience. So far I'd say all you need on tour is chloroform (sp?), a pocket pussy, cameras and a van full of candy. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 13,2008 1:39pm - the_reverend ""] my uncle had a van full of candy |
| _____________________________________________ [Apr 13,2008 2:45pm - markfuckingrichards ""] Your uncle knows how to tour. |

In my opinion, you can never have enough resources like this since everyone ends up with different stories, perceptions and attitudes when it comes to the touring experience. Yeah, this is what we're trying to do with the interviews. We're running the same questions by different kinds of bands to see how their answers differ. DIY bands to package bands to old schoolers and so on. |

| _______________________________ [Apr 13,2008 6:04pm - alexc ""] yo jeremy, sam nevin showed this to me yesterday. its an awesome resource and was mega helpful. the only thing that i would ask is that you list more diy type venues on the site. it seemed to me at least that most of what was listed were bars. maybe thats what you had set out to do. just a suggestion. either way, thanks for making this. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 13,2008 6:09pm - alexc ""] oops i just read that users can add their own venues...i am dumb |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 13,2008 6:46pm - the_reverend ""] I will have to add links to you venues from my venues. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 14,2008 7:30pm - gravityblast ""] That would be awesome. I'm compiling a list of local/regional communities (like RTTP) for the site as well... |
