So my best friend is a folk singer (a very good one, incidentally - she'll go all Sandy Denny on yo ass,) and below is a form she had to fill out. And since I have no time to think for myself, I'm just going to steal her funny. (Actually, the answers are from her friend, Rick, but whatever. Enjoy!)
ARTIST DATA SHEET Artist Name: Rebecca Hall Where would you like to be in your career 12-18 months from now? I would like to be at a point where I could quit my day job and become a self- supporting singer /songwriter Where do you see yourself now? I see myself humiliated on a daily basis How many dates would you like to do a year? 3 How long would you like to be on the road at a time? long enough to estrange myself from friends and family How far are you willing to drive in one day from one gig to another? I'm sorry, there must be a typo in here. It says "drive" where it should say "fly" How many consecutive days are you willing to perform? I usually need to sit down after the first number. I confess I am not in the greatest shape so if you could space the shows out where I got like a week or so in between, that would give me time to rest up and catch some quality naptime. What months, days, weeks of the year do you prefer to take off? Summers off Do you have any preferences to which regions of the U.S. you'd like to play at specific times of the year? If we could swing by Baltimore during the crabcake festival that would be awesome. Ususally the first week of May. Will you do house concerts? are you fuckin crazy? house concerts killed jim nabors career. What markets do you feel you are strongest in? penis What markets do you feel you are weakest in? vagina What is the minimum amount of $$$ you would accept for a gig (Be specific if you have different minimums you'd accept for support, splits, headlining, house concerts, etc.)? poop What venues, festivals, clubs, etc. would you like to play that you've never played? the ass festival What venues, festivals, clubs, etc. do you enjoy playing and would be likely to have you back (Just list a handful of sure things.)? Jimmys in Rosedale, Cockfarts in Atlanta, and The Slippery Anus in Cleveland . What venues, festivals, clubs, etc. do you never want to play again? The "Ram A Frying Pan Up My Ass Festival" or R.A.F.P.U.M.A. An offshoot of the already popular "ass festival." I still haven't recovered from that one. Those fuckers were serious. How do you feel about host housing? Yes, why shouldn't they have housing. All hosts everywhere should have adequate and affordable housing. What are your sound requirements (If you have a technical rider already, no need to answer.)? Stack those marshalls up to the god damn ceiling and put me out in front of them. i'll take care of the rest What are your hospitality requirements (food likes and dislikes, snacks, towels, water, etc.)? One towel, one light blue jumpsuit, three snickers, a half quart of cold cream, tangerines, two butter churns, three packs of gum, ice skates, panty hose, a 6 foot party sub, two smaller 3 foot party subs, one minature novelty party sub, several submarine sandwich key chains or comparable sub themed t shirts, diet cola, dynamite, masking tape, and three cans of frosting What performers do you enjoy performing with particularly in a split-bill situation? Anyone that sucks more than I do
