I think that is a little excessive.  Plus, thirteen is not a lucky number.

I recommend stopping in St. Louis on your way.   You don't want to get rusty do you?  

I've taken the time to plan your route for you.  As you can see it should only take you 2 days.   Throw in 7 more days for rest, and leaves you plenty of time for a four night run in St. Louis.

2000 Seats x 4 nights x $35 a ticket, give you an extra quarter Million to play with during those 7 days of rest.  

Think it over.   Let me know.

I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

I will volunteer my services to act as a roadie/stage hand, gopher, and part time tour guide for a stop in St Louis. I can tune a guitar, lift very heavy objects, spot a desirable young lass to join y'all back stage (if needed). I know where you can get great donuts and good drinks in the city and can hook you up with some free petfood for those in the band that have dogs or cats.

maybe they're rushing to California and spending some time in the great city of San Francisco so they can straight KICK IT....with me of course.  

Jim: I'll take you on a beautiful hike through Muir Woods and you can sing me songs all along the way.
