i hope yer going on a boeing!

i think you should mention to yer booking agent this doesnt appear to be cost effective fer the biz unit(band). further i would tell him if yer going to alaska that you will need a few days to see the sights before next gig.

also i would mention that the culture shock of going from denver to alaska to el segundo to detroit is truly more than one can manage w/a smile.

further i would mention that it is NOT cost effective to fly different airlines and yer mileage points are suffering because of his narrow minded thinking.

i would finally say to him............"if you ever come up with this moronic booking schedule again...............we will handcuff you and put you in a darkened room with CYNDY LAUPER or PRINCE or K.C. and the SUNSHINE BAND or YOKO ONO blaring thru headphones at MACH 10 VOLUME!"

keep a smile and realize that everyone on this planet who HASNT TRAVELED ALOT........wishes they were you!

what dumb-a$$'s huh!

been there done that and planes trains automobiles is the ONLY THING THAT COMES TO MIND!

ask me sometime about my winter biz trip to NEWARK and then on to CHICAGO........-47 degrees w/windchill and the APU on the united airlines had died. it was as cold inside plane stalled on tarmac as it was outside!

good luck. this is the part they DONT TELL YOU ABOUT IN ROCK STAR SCHOOL or SALES MGR. SCHOOL and theres a reason!
