Preparing for Tour; Part One: The Great Underwear Fiasco

Preparing for tour can be a stressful process. There's lots of things you have to get done before you hit the road, both in a personal and business manner. Making sure your merchandise and promo materials are in order, taking care of bills and tying up random loose ends can keep you busy for a weeks before you hit the road. The most important thing though, is making sure you have the right underwear packed for the trip.....

I own exactly 17 pairs of boxer briefs and 4 pair of boxers. It is imperative that I bring only my A-Squad on the road with me. I don't have room for all 21 pair of underwear, so only the best pairs are to be put in the suitcase. I like to keep my underwear in near mint condition, but I don't have time to inspect the quality of my underwear on a daily basis, so some of them could only be graded "Good" at best. Talk about stressing yourself out before tour. I need almost a whole evening to try them all on, inspect them and grade them on different levels. Who has time for this? But it is important, so I make time. I could show you all the charts and graphs that I made during this process, but I don't have time to scan underwear charts on to the internet all day long. Just use your imagination.

Now that the whole "Great Underwear Fiasco" is over I have time to focus on picking out soaps and lotions and all that other shit my body needs to stay fresh. After all of that I may actually have time to practice one or two of the songs that we are going to perform on tour.

Speaking of songs, our debut album "A Gentleman's Guide to Dangerous Living" is out on 08/21. You can preview some tracks at http://www.myspace.com/moderngentlemenhiphop

Keep checking back on this page for updates from the road, and more announcements regarding our "rap music."
