I need input (sarcastic or not) on something I'm doing. I think it will lead to several... random and humorous posts. Currently in school I was assigned a project which I thought was awesome. I am supposed to create a band and plan a tour for them. I have to decide on a genre (anybody who suggests rap gtfo), a name, 20 cities to go to, a tour theme, figure out how far I'll be travelling, then design T-shirts, a tour bus, and a bumper sticker. Note that any suggestion I find useful will be pirated and adapted into my project unless you clearly state you don't want me to use it.
Band: We Still Need a Guitarist
Genre: Grunge
Tour: Cheap Music, Free Beer
If you're going to play anywhere, play in the original House of Blues here in New Orleans.

Too themed. Sounds like you're trying to hard. (The you, of course, being that fictional band -- no one likes a band that tries too hard to be cool)

*shot*
I always wanted to start a band called "Every Band", just so I could say "I play in Every Band."
I shoot for the stars.
... how many have you hit?
Wait, aren't you supposed to shoot for the moon?
Anyway, for a band you should have:
Name: Blowin' Down Some Angels
Album: Gun Shoved Down Your Throat
Tour name: Ambiguous Meanings Tour
