Almost to Albany!
July 19th, 2011 maggie
This map represents our updated tour dates AND our current kickstarter status. With 12 days to go we’ve raised 40% of our goal. That could get us to our first two shows in Portland and Boston and almost ??? to Albany. Help us get there!
Tour updates! Help us make our goal!
July 18th, 2011 maggieOur tour page is up to date with lotsa details including a super fun home town show!* We are so excited to hit 7 cities on this tour, and we’re making Jamaica Plain our eighth with a show on Friday, August 12. It’ll be a special intimate show with a variety of new acts and old favorites.
We’re scant days away from our fundraising deadline of midnight on July 31. We need all your help to reach our goal. Please visit our Kickstarter page and see all the sassy gifts we’re offering. Donate if you can and please spread the word!
Your support will help us bring fierce femme performance to these communities. Everywhere we go we hear that our message of gender freedom and femme empowerment is inspiring, motivating and validating. This is a message that doesn’t always get heard.
We fundraise for tour because it’s the most financially draining and risky thing we take on. Venue costs, promotional costs, travel and food add up fast! And we want to make a profit so we can pay our artists something to compensate for the time they spend away from their other gigs. We set a goal of $1,400 because that’s our estimate of what we’ll spend on gas, tolls, and other transportation expenses. That’s a huge chunk of our budget.
Thank you for your support!
*If any information about a show in tour city is missing (like time or ticket info) don’t worry, we’re dotting our i’s, crossing our t’s, and smoothing out our polka dot halter dresses. Just check back, we promise to have the entire scoop soon.
