"Class Trip" Tour 2007 and Thank You's

This summer, Class Project will be touring the country working as journalists for www.pursuethepassion.com, a motivational website for aspiring business professionals and people looking to make a career change. During our down time, we will (hopefully) be doing shows in many of the 25 cities that we will find ourselves in over our 90 day journey. The summer showcase entitled "The Class Trip Tour" will take us more than 14,000 miles across the country to promote our freshman album effort entitled, "The Rough Draft LP." Our tour starts off with a show on July 7th (7/7/07) at The Majestic Ventura Theatre in beautiful Ventura, California. From there......uh......I'm not reeeeally sure, but we've got some things in the works and hopefully a lot of things will just fall into position. I'm sure that they will. They have to, right? Guys? GUYS?

Luckily those who support Class Project (or just Noah and I) are amongst the most helpful and proactive people we'll ever meet. A far cry from the apathy which hangs over us with everything not involving recording or performing music (and writing for your website Mr. Farmiloe). That being said, we've got a show in the works with Hey Champ! an electronica fusion group based out of Chicago, Illinois....a hearty thank you to Mr. Hank Weber for that one. Christina Haynes has been working her ass off for us trying to not only get us shows, but also hooking us up with fans, and even a merch dealer who is willing to help us distribute Class Project t-shirts over the internet. For this will we forever be thankful of her. Equally notable are the efforts of my friends and family (and long-time supporters) selling tickets for me out there in Thousand Oaks. JV, Local Legend, Deezy, Momma, Bryan, Brunz Runz.....we couldn't do it without you. Literally. We won't even be getting into Ventura County until a couple of hours before show time and we have 60 pre-sale tickets to get rid of at $10 a piece. A hard sell I know, but its amazing how down you all are to help us out. It is extremely appreciated!!!

As for the rest of the tour, its all kind of up in the air. With all of the stuff that I've been doing to help out with and ensure the success of the Pursue the Passion 2007 Tour, Class Project has unfortunately taken a backseat as of late. With only 3 weeks left until we leave (we take off on July 2nd) we have our work cut out for ourselves. I've jokingly said this before, but "it wouldn't be a Class Project if it wasn't done last minute." I don't doubt that we will be able to pull it all together. We always do.
