Travel Woes

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Yesterday, the first day of the tour was full of travel woes. Everything was going so well, we were making good time and Emma was cruising along at around 70 mph. We estimated a mid afternoon arrival in Los Angeles. Plenty of time to stop for supplies  and catch up with our welcome party for [...]

The Stage Dive

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

You’re just about to finish your insanely rocking performance of Paranoid. You’ve rocked everyone’s faces off with your perfect rendition of Ozzy at his peak, and the crowd is going nuts.
The venue is a stage, so you’re above the audience. It’s a real concert feel. You feel like you’re really in Black Sabbath.
Then, just as [...]

The plan is to stop at each of the 13 cities and have a meetup with karaoke, book signings, awesome conversations and a great deal of fun. We are working on getting every second of the trip livestreamed (from the cab and the karaoke stage) and totally interactive on the web as well as at our stops. We'll be tweeting, blogging, uploading photos and getting all sorts of press along the way.
