The fans have spoken. I can’t count the e-mails- but once we received a monetary donation from the fans pushing for an east coast performance, we felt we needed to make it happen sooner rather than later.
That’s the power of The Cavalcadium I expect!
May 17-19th, 2013 in Piscataway, New Jersey is the Steampunk World’s Fair convention. We’ve been wanting to attend for the past few years, but the organizers didn’t have the funds to fly us out there and perform.
The ten grand we raised to launch our 2-Cent Show Tour was made good use of getting us to Dearborn, Michigan and is buffering out the costs for our future shows in Texas, Colorado, Tuscon, and (hopefully) San Jose.
Keep in mind this money was used for touring alone, and didn’t fund paying all our guys. The majority of us don’t even have other jobs, and most merchandise sales and Engineer-eteer donations go towards makeup, gear, costumes, and other business expenses. That’s currently how we can do what we do- because of the active role the fans take in making sure the company stays afloat!
It’s expensive to do what we do, which is why we’re unable to play many smaller venues outside of California. By the time you get the cost of the airline trip accounted for and hotel stay, you’re looking at well over a few grand just to get us out there- let alone rent the equipment necessary for us to play.
So we’re going to try something here. We’re going to let the fans decide where we play next. You guys wanted New Jersey, so we’ll see if there’s enough interest. The last World’s Fair had roughly 4,000 attendees. If everyone just tossed in a dollar…we’d make it no problem!
But we need to raise roughly 2 grand to make this happen.
If the attendees don’t want us there- we won’t be wasting anyone’s time or money. The donation pool will be refunded, and we’ll seek other avenues.
But if you want to see us live in concert- here’s your chance, east coast fans! We’ve got a lot of time to make this happen, so I’m fairly confident we can raise the funds.
Please use the custom link provided if you want to donate to the New Jersey pool. It makes keeping track of everything much easier!
Take care everyone, and thank-you for being so damn awesome!
Crossing our fingers!
Love,
