We have a rare day off today. We expecting a huge turn-out tomorrow night at the Silver Eagle Taphouse. Bring your friends.

Marc Scibilia and the Freedom Tour band pose for a quick photo while setting up at the Meridian in Houston.

With all the RV issues we've had, which you'll see on our next few videos, we were forced to cancel some of our first shows. We're all fairly demoralized by this. We are now heading to Texas to play what will sadly be our very first show. It plans to be a HUGE show though, on Friday night in Houston, opposite the convention center where they are holding the Republican State Convention. All the Ron Paul delegates and supporters will be there in-mass. We plan to attend the Ice-Cream Social on Thursday night. We expect the Houston gig to truly lift our spirits and set the tone for the rest of the tour. Keep an eye on our daily video episodes. The next 2 days are very exciting.

Here's a photo of us having breakfast in Nashville before we hit the road.

And the fun begins...

Make this video go viral: DIGG

Israel had his own DVD duplicator shipped from Boulder, CO to upstate NY overnight. We planned to use it for creating free "bootleg" style CDs to give away at the concerts. Unfortunately, the photos speak for themselves... We're filing an insurance claim and Israel will get his money back, but it means we now have to spend even more money on buying a duplicator if we want to give out free CDs.

Feel free to record our concerts any way you choose, just don't sell them.
   

What happened to our Blog? It's been renamed Freedom Tour TV. As we prepare to hit the road, and yes, still without an RV darn it. If you can, help us on our chipin, then maybe Marc Scibilia will stop stressin'.

OK, so what's with the TV thing. We have a team of some very creative people on our core team which is Israel Anderson, Marc Scibilia and Julian Smith. So we have been thinking how to get the Freedom Message the best coverage and attention we can. One of the best, but most difficult ways to do that, is to create a viral video. For the last few days Julian Smith has been carting his $40,000 camera around filming us all over the place. Julian Smith is an award winning FilmMaker, and it's going to show. So Thursday night, we're releasing our first video. I say our first, because we're not just doing one or two, we're creating what we hope you will help us to become to next viral video online. Let's make lonelygirl15 a distant memory, replaced with a completely authentic reality TV show of a band on the road spreading music with a message. We're producing this new show every single day, and it will be all of that day. This is about as authentic as its ever going to get. And you're going to be very surprised with the quality of this show. Once we launch it Thursday night, help us get it out there in any way possible and let's tell the world what Freedom and Liberty is all about. With your help, Freedom Tour TV can be the next big thing online. Just imagine what this will do for the message of Freedom.

We were about to be S C R E W E D ... When we posted the last blog we had not seen the RV in the flesh. We went out to get it, but it was a MESS. So back to square one with just a few days to go. Crazy stuff.

Remember that amazing guy that paid enough to buy a small island to put that full page ad in USA Today promoting Ron Paul? Well his name is Larry Lepard and he saw our chipin for the RV was so low, so he has given us a loan of $15,000 and we just booked the RV! Thank you Larry!!

We have a 37' beast that will take us around the nation, driving the 4-500 miles to our next city while the rest of us sleep.

Remember though, the $15,000 is a loan and we need to pay it back. Please head on over to our chipin and and help us with that. http://FreedomTour08.com/help/

RIght now, we're looking for a driver. You would need experience with driving coaches/RVs/Tour busses etc, and would be available some or all of the time from June 6th to July 7th.
