IMPORTANT NEW NOTES FROM JUSTIN:

I�ve been traveling for 169 days! I am currently in Miami with my entertainment lawyer at the M3 music conference.

I�m converting the diary entries and photos of my travels into a book. I�m still collecting content, too. So, I�m looking for nice, fun people who can put me up for a few nights, host me, and show me their flavor of America. I�m looking forward to learning about your life and writing about our times together! If you think it might be fun to host me for a day or two or three, email me at justingrace AT mac DOT com.

Please make sure to include your address and phone number in your email.

I am especially looking for places to stay in the southeast USA and everywhere on the East Coast. Here are the places I will be in the next few months that I am still looking for a place to stay at:

� North/South Carolina
� Tennessee
� Virginia/West Virginia

Please contact me ASAP if you want to hang out!

If you believe in what I am doing and want to help support me, please do so! You can donate money to me using PayPal or with a credit card. Email me for more information! Make sure to check out my photo sales page!

US Tour Day 138: Clearwater

Played at the Neptune Bar in Clearwater, Florida this evening. The sound guy was the biggest jerk I've encountered in my 17 years of playing music. I asked him if I could get some guitar in my monitors and he told me that I was two seconds from not playing at all. He was threatening to kick me off the stage! I had NOTHING in my monitors and almost no guitar in the house. The crowd was really enthusiastic anyways—it was the best crowd of the four gigs I've done in the past three nights.

I feel very energized after these recent shows. The crowd response has been great, and I'm selling albums every night. Since the final product is not printed yet, what I've been doing is pre–selling the CD. I give the person a CD-R of the album and I take their address and put them on a list of folks who will I will mail the CD to as soon as it comes out.

Tourning playing music has really been working out well for me. I play 15-20 minute sets and then sell my photos and CDs afterwards. I sold TWO photos two nights ago. That's $100! You know, if I keep this up I won't be so poor anymore!
