Well, in five months of preparation, I knew that there would be several xfactors where the Cd Release Event could be postponed or delayed. Rain was always the biggest concern, especially since we were planning it in Aug, the height of Hurricane season. What we feared happened and a small tropical disturbance churned all day south of us and the forecast was for rain.
Our sponsors, Budweiser and La Careta, did not feel comfortable holding the event with the forecast being what it was. So, around 2:30, we decided to postpone to Sept 11th. The real work began after that when we had to spend the entire evening letting people know. It was crazy and not at all the day that I was expecting. I woke up Sat excited about the event and full of anticipation only to end the day pretty bummed out.
There are some advantages to pushing back and we did hear from a lot of people who said that they were glad that it had been moved because the new date, Sept 11th, worked better for them.
We have a lot of work to do to prepare for the 11th but a lot of the production work is done because we were set to go yesterday.
I will make several appearances on local radio over the next two weeks to keep the promotions up and I am booked to play in New Orleans this weekend. I will go ahead and play the New Orleans show this weekend.
I want to say thank you to those of you who made plans to be at the release party. I hope that the 11th works for you and I look forward to FINALLY releasing Weightless.
In other news, I released my first music video today on youtube and facebook.
