Stop the opera!

Aren't we all guilty of this? The first ping of an idea is a small seed. We fly with it, it grows into something our imagination can capture. Then we try to implement it and, Whoops! It's a bit too big for our small britches to carry out.

What the heck am I talking about? The How Novel tour of my band.

It's meant to be fun for me, as well as a promotion. Then it started to take over all of my free time.

And I don't think the tour was doing any good promoting the book, really. Indie bands are too busy playing gigs to read. The tour itself was unfocused, rather haphazard in its execution.

So, I've trimmed it down to a bare bones story, the occasional video, and facebook/tweets about Athens, music and the simplified story.

Another time-consuming item was connecting with the bands up front. I'll be surprising them instead. No more interview.
