As written by the Main Monster herself, Erika Lopez:
COLLABORATIVE TOUR:
We're kicking off the tour at City Lights bookstore in San Francisco on 13 October. More information to come. We just solidified that date.
The rest, we need your help with. We're going up north as far as Seattle, then going across to Toronto, and Chicago, and over to the east coast and down south.
We're doing about 39 cities in about as many days, depending on availability, so locations and dates are pretty firm to keep it as smooth as possible.
Depending on what you want to produce or be involved with, I can either do a traditional book store appearance with bits from the new book, The Girl Must Die, or if we do more of a show, i can perform the almost-hour-long solo show, "The Welfare Queen"
We need help with:
***PROMOTION-- write about us in magazines, weeklies, bathroom walls, blogs, tweet or facebook about what we're doing, where we're going, and if you liked it, pass it on
***SETTING UP VENUES-- book stores, cafes, colleges, theatres, back yards, living rooms, whatever/wherever. it'd be really nice to get some paying things like college dates to help pay for the tour.
***VOLUNTEER HELP-- for flyering, helping to sell books and merchandise or set up or assist during shows/appearances
***SOFAS OR FLOORS TO SLEEP ON (smile) --i'm 42 and love beds and the simplicity of motels/hotels, but i love to meet fans and hang out because you all are just friends i've yet to personally meet. plus, i get nervous and frazzled before an event and love having friends calm me down.
Here's where i'll be and when. See if you're near one of these places. If we can't get a bookstore or support for a place, I'll just get a hotel on my way through on this epic trip and drive on through.
The list is our way of saying: "We're here, if you wanna do something get in touch! If not, see ya later!"
