This happened a few months back.
People liked it, so we got to go out to Portland for a huge music convention. There were about 80 colleges being represented by students who were there to book acts for their schools.
There were about 200 acts there from muscicians to magicians, comedians, slam poets, motivational speakers, and on and on. Only about 45 got to actually perform, the rest just had booths and had to hustle themselves to get booked. But their booths were insane. Huge flat screen tv's playing their stuff, Some people had couches in their space, banners, free jump drives, food, everything awesome you could think of. Preston by far by far had the ugliest booth. See. And its extra funny, cause that prestonpugmire.com website doesn't even exist.
Press had 5 minutes to play for the colleges. And he killed it. Our ugly booth was bombarded with people fighting over dates that they wanted him to come and signing contracts on the spot.
He ended up being the highest booked act of the entire conference
We had such a great time and made tons of new friends.
So, this next semester we get to go on a ton of road trips. And the colleges pay for a Hotel and food. How nice. We'll be in Colorado, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah and even Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Its going to be awesome. Preston is so good. HE is totally supporting our little family by doing what he loves. Music. And he set the tours up so he's gone just one week a month. So doable. And I get to go with him.
We drove to Portland so Preston could play a FIVE minute set, and now he's booked through June. And he'll get to do it all next Fall as well.
Life is pretty great.
