The Dear Hunter to Tour USA, August 2008

   You need a promoter. Traveling cost bucks.  The problem being for these little bands is trying to find enough cities to play in out West.  Considering it is 600 miles between San Diego and San Francisco in California that doesn't offer a lot of other places to play.  At most you get the three main coastal areas in California, Portland, Seattle., perhaps Sacramento, Vegas(if you can find a place that will take indie bands) and Phoenix.  That is like traveling from Portland Maine to Miami Fl. and playing 8 gigs. They play over twice that on the  trip of the east and Midwest.  

and you couldn't pay me enough to leave California and move back east.

	Valid point, but they can suffer for the rest of us! Well, apparently they can't.

	It's not their fault that the east coast is better.

	Nice of them to completely avoid the west coast.
