Touring

There are many different kinds of touring campaigns. Bands doing performance tours is nothing new. Politicians have long used tours to reach voters in many communities. Many activist groups tour schools and colleges giving presentations to students. Public speakers who are in demand around the world often tour doing engagements.

Fundraising

Touring can raise money.

Tour Planning

Touring is expensive and complex.

Touring Examples

Evolve Hybrid Road Trip

"Meallem and Taher are at the Sierra Club, paired to preach the hybrid gospel during a 14-day road trip from Seattle to San Diego... Their sell is embodied in the T-shirts the two Middle Eastern road-trippers are wearing: 'I will evolve.'"

—Jew, Muslim forced into companionship, Joe Garofoli, SF Chronicle

Truth

The anti-tobacco Truth campaign tours around the US doing basketball games.

Crimethinc. Coming To Your Town. Maybe.

"An enthusiastic and delightful circus of outlaw engineers and charming maniacs are going on a nation-wide tour traveling from the Pacific Northwest across the country, down the East Coast and ending up at the 6th annual CrimethInc. Convergence—and they need your help to make it happen (see below). A dissected and rewired bus, resurrected by Winona Minnesota’s faction of the CrimethInc. Madass Scientists Guild will be converted into running on vegetable oil. Literally living off the fat of the land, this unstoppable veggie-oil guzzlin’ task force could be headed your way.

The purpose of this tour is to stimulate the magic and intimacy already present in the communities we plan on visiting.

Nothing is confirmed, as of this post. If you or anyone in your community is interested in helping throw this event in your town, please email me [froseph@crimethinc.com] and we’ll work out the details. We’re pretty portable and low maintenance. We need a venue (lodge/park/infoshop/basement/etc) and promotional help. Also, if you live around these areas and would like us to come to your town, let us know."
