SLEEPOVER WITH ROCKSTARS!!!!!

Hello wonderful readers. Oh, you all are such lovely, generous people. I know this about you.

I have some friends who need some help. They are River City Extension. Please read this recently posted Myspace blog entry written by lead singer Joe, entitled, 'Let's Have A Sleepover.'


Hey everyone,

So tour is only 3 weeks away, and could not be more excited to hit the road. Unfortunately, there is a lot of us going, and it's a super expensive trip, so hotels are not an option for us. Basically, we're asking if we can sleep over. If you live in, or under an hour from any of the cities we are playing this August, we need to humbly request your floor space for an evening, before we shove off the next morning for the following date. If you're able to house us, or find someone who can, let us know. We will make sure you get into the show in your city free of charge, and get taken care of etc. Thank you, we love you all a lot, and look forward to seeing you this summer.

Joe


Yes, that's the same Joe who emails me back when I email him. From the one minute real-life group conversation I had with him in NYC, and from the emails he sends, he seems like a lovely person. They all seem like really lovely people. And they're super awesome because they're in River City Extension.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT:

They need places to stay. And you right now reading this are a wonderful person. And wouldn't you love you have a super great band stay in your house? And give you free tickets to their show??? Yes, I think you want that.

You'd be super helping them out, and then getting free concert tickets in return. WIN. WIN.

So, here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to post their tour schedule RIGHT HERE IN THIS ENTRY and you will look and see if your city, or another city within an hour away, are on this list.

OK, let's do that now:

Look at all those dates! Surely there must be someone reading who loves helping people as well as great music. Like, GREAT music. REALLY GREAT MUSIC. I sometimes can't stop listening to it. True story.

So, hopefully Ryan will be able to offer her apartment for the Boston show. I immediately texted her about it.

And - this will be totally cool when River City Extension is super famous. You'll be able to say, "Oh yeah, we had a sleepover with them!"

WIN. WIN.

There are 8 members of the band. I'm sure they don't mind squishing together on the floor. And I'm sure you, right now, reading this, have some sort of floor in your house that is unoccupied during the night.

So - please help the band. Joe posted on Twitter, Myspace and Facebook, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to post here either :) The more eyes that read it - the better.

HERE IS A LINK to their Myspace page, where you can again see all the tour dates and purchase tickets. And their CD! Which everyone should have by now. If you don't have it - what's the deal?! Buy the CD. You don't even have to listen to the tracks first - I promise you'll like it. (That's a blog promise.)


IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW would be awesome and willing to house the band for a night, you can contact River City Extension via:

Twitter
Facebook
Myspace
or,
rivercityextension@gmail.com

OR, you can contact me, and I'll contact them :)


You're all wonderful people. Thank you for reading!!!
