When are you ever going to tour (my town)! There’s a lot of people who would love to see you in (my town)! Please!

I don’t tour all that often, but when I do, I don’t do my own booking; I employ the services of a booking agent who, in turn, works with promoters or talent buyers in the cities where I play.  I don’t choose those cities; I simply let the agent know when I’ll be available to tour, how long I’ll be available, and more or less which direction I’d like to travel.  The agent takes it from there, sending e-mails and making lots of phone calls, and ultimately piecing together a tour based on the best offers he or she can scare up.  As soon as I get confirmation on a show, I post the news here on my website.

I really appreciate your enthusiasm but it’s not quite as simple as you saying "please" and me saying "okay, why not?" and hopping in my car…!
