Staying In People’s Homes
When people are nice enough to let your band stay in their home, there are a few things you can do as a band to thank them properly.
The easiest thing to do is to leave them with a CD, T-Shirt, and a thank-you note (unless they’re awake.) I always love the sharpie on paper plate note myself.
To fit your band in their living room, you’ve no-doubt moved some furnature around. Be sure to put it back the way it was. Collect all of the beer cans, and pour out any half-empties. If you ate there, go ahead and do the dishes. If the whole band is envolved it’ll go extremely fast, and you’ll likely have a garaunteed place to stay the next time you come through town.
I have good friends all over the counrty that I met when my old band stayed at their house a decade ago. I’m glad we weren’t drunken assholes, and didn’t break their furnature or anything.
