And following on the heels of I Just Want to Fall in Love , here’s another sneak preview of the upcoming Live at FWA 2010 DVD release. Now with more blunt force trauma!
Here’s a sneak preview of the footage we got from FWA this year. Many thanks to all of you who donated footage (you’ll be in the credits when we get a final edit worked up). And, of course, a thousand internets go to Aaron (Tsaro for those of you who were there) for actually editing all this raw video!
Last weekend I played a show for the awesome crowd at FWA . There’s something about the convention that puts everyone into a fun-loving, energetic mood. I really want to play more conventions like this, even make a tour out of them if I can.
I Need Your Help!
Because I spend so much time releasing two new songs and a live recording every single month, I really don’t have much time left over to email conventions and festivals repeatedly.
If you want to help out, you can do that for me! All you really need to do is:
Pick your favorite geek conventions (comic, anime, furry, sci-fi, whatever) and track down the people in charge.
Then send them emails or call them up and try to get them interested in booking me as a live performance. Send them MP3′s, point them to my live performance videos , whatever it takes. Just keep emailing/calling them until they tell you NO or they want to get in touch with me.
Don’t worry about things like payment or travel, once they’re interested in the music I’ll deal with them directly. The hard part is getting their attention in the first place and getting them interested in booking a show!
What I Don’t Need
I don’t need a list of websites to check out or names of conventions I should contact. Like I said earlier, I don’t have the time to follow up on every suggestion people throw at me. What I need are people to get in touch with these conventions directly and have them contact me .
I don’t have a “my people” to contact “their people”, you are my people . You are the only people that matter. If you’ve got a favorite convention you go to every year and they need live music, then I need you to take action and get me out there.
I’m counting on you, just as I always do. Thank you.
Okay, so this isn’t the only post I’ll be making about FWA last weekend, but it’s certainly the first. Until I have the time and sanity to go into further detail, here’s a little candid clip courtesy of Robby Davis …
