the go, the the, the go (c) common
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan listen.
i wont stop talkiing about the negative issues because they exist.
after saturday nights chicago show we had to leave the tour and weve decided to k.i.m. on our own and finish the dates we set up. check the tanya morgan myspace page to see where we will be.
for the folks that were expecting us to show up in their town they deserve an explanation...
this blog was foreshadowing like a mutha though! wasnt it?
i think we put too much on the line too soon, but maybe not? time will tell. i hope PS and tableek (with dj automatic) will continue to rock the remaining shows and im not even trying to be diplomatic about it...they are good people and good artists, but the setup wasnt right for us...by us being gone hopefully they'll have more dough and traveling and shit will be a lot easier without the extra 4 ways to split shit. once again its not like anyone was trying to ball, we were trying to make it to the next town and get places to stay and shit! i dont care who is reading this because this shit is for other artists it aint for promoters or whoever...i never read about shit like this. everybody wants to tell me what city theyre in and how nice it is and how they went shopping and they rocked the show and theyre tired and thats it for the whole blog...thats borrrrrrrrrrrrring. it leaves us thinking its okay to just run out and change your life to be on tour because niggas have us thinking its all good once youre on tour or once you sign the dotted line...it aint! im not complaining im warning! letting it be known!
for my "soon to tour one of these days" people, yea you have to sacrifice but dont depend on anything working out at all. dont depend on any hotels, any transportation, per diem, anything! use your own resources! meet people from myspace that live in that town or see if you have family in that town and maybe they can show you around or give you a place to crash just in case. always have a way to get back home from anywhere! know where the greyhound or the airport is! dont get out here and be depending on the tour bus or whatever to take you to the venue, from the hotel room youre depending on, then depend on getting paid so you can send some money back home so your brother can pay your bills for you while youre away (just an example). dont depend on any of that!
in other news thanks to chibrownskinnedlady (okp in the building) for showing me around the city of chicago...chicago is dope! millenium park is crazy! downtown is so beautiful man...as a new yorker i can safely say that chicago looks better (for tourists sake) then manhattan. new york we have times square which still bugs me out and i been there millions of times, but the stuff i seen yesterday had me feeling like moving. yea right im NYC til a hundred and 3, but you know what i mean...
alright...ill see yall in a minute. the show(s) must go on.

Thanks for being real through this whole blog...hate what has happened to you guys, but hopefully another tour will pop off for yawll. Good Luck with the rest of the cities...yawll gonna rock it with my homeboy Kaze in NYC!
peace..
Von, y'all won my respect (music wise) way before this tour, and even more for riding with it for the 6 "dates of disaster". I was hoping we would have had the opportunity to build over these weeks, but I suppose that may/may not happen sometime in the future..
stay up,
TABLEEK
(still on the "not as Royal as we would have liked" Tour!
I'm glad I could show you a good time in the city. Though I need to cop a shirt or somesuch because I forgot to get one the night of the show. Stay up (as the kids say), and keep in touch! Make them respect your guerrilla-- After all, you ARE Von Motherf*ckin Pea!
((hugs))
