The Galavanting, Globetrotting Good Luck Varsity

Hey Everyone!

We hope all is well, and that you northerners are surviving the winter. We wanted to take a minute to fill everyone in on our 2012 plans so you can start marking up those calendars you all got for Christmas (or, yanno, your iPhone)!  

Anyway, we’re heading out on a brief, 2-week tour of the Midwest that will begin in February and wrap up in March. Unfortunately, it isn’t going to get us quite south enough to see any weather benefits, but it will take us back to some of our favorite destinations from last summer’s Eastern US tour!

While we had a great time on our Eastern US tour last summer, we definitely missed all of our West Coast friends!  In August, we stopped in San Diego for a few days so Evan could compete in the 2011 Pokemon TCG World Championships, and it definitely reminded us how much we love the Western US. Ultimately, we’ve decided to divide our summer into 2 separate tours this year - one Eastern US, and one Western US!

The Eastern US leg will take place in June and will allow us to get back to many of the towns from last year’s Eastern US tour, and from our upcoming Midwest tour.  We’re crossing our fingers that this leg will also feature a stop at Pokemon Nats in Indy, so stay tuned for that if you’re a nerd like us. The Western US leg will take place in July and August. 

The great part is that, just like our upcoming Midwest tour, we’re doing these tours DIY, which means we’ll be organizing and booking each and every event on our own.  That means that if you want Good Luck Varsity in your town, we can make it happen!  If you’re interested in bringing GLV to your area, just shoot us an email at info@goodluckvarsity.com.  We’ll work with anyone, even if you haven’t ever tried your hand at helping to organize a show before, so don’t hesitate to contact us (otherwise, we’re just going to put on blindfolds and throw darts at a map of the US to decide where we should play)!

As always, check out www.goodluckvarsity.com for the most up-to-date information, and to see if GLV is coming to your town!

Florida Weekend!

We had an awesome time this weekend in Florida, and we’re definitely wishing we could stay a bit longer!  We started off on Friday with a trip to Palm Beach Atlantic University, where former Dry Leaf Project drummer and current PBA student Scott Hampson gave us a tour of the city. The Atlantic ocean was beautiful, and we were pretty much the only ones on the beach (I think Florida residents consider 75 degrees “cold”)! 

There were quite a few jellyfish washed up on shore, but we managed to avoid getting stung.

The show was great, and we played some Christmas tunes and met a lot of cool people.

The next night, we caught up in our friends in A View From The East Coast in Lakeland, FL for a show at Evolution Records.  We stumbled on what was being billed the world’s largest flip-cup game in the back alley, which was being played by 300 people all dressed in some form of Christmas garb (elves, Santa, and even Ralphie from A Christmas Story)!

The show was unbelievable, and we were cheered back on the stage for an encore by some of the best fans we’ve ever played for.  The next day, we headed up to Tallahassee to catch up with our friends in Canopy Red and eat some amazing steak. We’re hoping to catch up with even more former tourmates tonight since our buddies in Twice Mine live in the area as well.

All in all, it’s been a great weekend, and we’re definitely excited to hit the road again in February!

We're called Good Luck Varsity. We love each other, we love what we do, and we love the people who come out to our shows. We believe that the 3 feet of stage we stand on makes us a little taller than you, but it does not make us rockstars, nor does it make those of you standing on the floor inferior - we're all in this together. We are truly humbled and encouraged by every person who downloads our music, buys a t-shirt, or passes along some kind words of encouragement. Beyond all else, we are so thankful for each and every opportunity to do what we love, and we hope the evidence of that fact pours out of us every time we step on the stage.
