Tour Manager Databases Update

Tour Manager Databases Update – Now at versions 1.0.2. No new venues added, just some changes to make updating a little easier. I had to find a way for users to be able to send in updates, and get updates from the web site, without affecting the records that are modified or added in-between updates. Hence the new Update Utility Layout, with a bunch of buttons to make updating the database easy. And there will be an update to 1.0.3 soon as I add in another 300+ venues to the Venue database, along with new Hotels, and Promoter Info.

Sorry it took awhile to get this out, got a bit delayed by Myst III.

Two great shows with Meshell Ndegeocello

Two great shows with Meshell Ndegeocello. Fantastic band, a bit tricky doing monitors. The band was easy enough to work with, but the house gear isn’t the greatest, and the short depth of the stage puts the drums close to the front. Her sound engineer brought in a great collection of Nuemann and Sennheiser microphones, KM-105’s on all the lead vocals. A very good sounding mic, very open, a bit of high end spike. Made for a tough time getting quiet vocals loud with so much bleed. But the darn nicest bleed into a microphone you ever did hear.

Fellow tour manager Matt says my Tour Manager Database’s rock! And he is using the old old old version! Get your own free copy to use, manipulate, mangle, and otherwise write 0’s and 1’s to your hard drive as you try to keep track of a tour. And I swear there will be a manual one of these days (not that you really need one.)

Tour Manager Files Up for a bit…

My Filemaker Pro – Tour Manager database files are up are ready for free download! The manual isn’t ready yet, but if your familiar with File Maker Pro you won’t really need one. Go to the files section to get the goods, and don’t forget to drop me a line to tell me what you think, suggest improvements, or send updates to the Tour Databases – Venues, Hotels, and Promoters.

In other news my sister is harping on me for living with two other guys, with no girlfriend at the age of 30! And she is only in the 7th grade. Youch! Well as any other touring individuals know it’s hard to start or maintain a relationship when on the road for months on end. As soon as I find my dream girl I hope my sister approves!

On the touring front, Mercury Rev has set some dates for festival shows in Europe and Japan.
