...next week I embark on the "Name Your Own Price Tour 2008."
Yes kids, ol' Mister Palumbo has decided that it's time to embark on another rap tewr. I just haven't quite gotten my fill of investing more of my own, hard-to-come-by $$$$$ into an industry that not only ignores true talent, but is financially in possibly worse shape than Wall Street.
Why bother? Well, because god dammit there's probably only about 3-6 years before the planet explodes and I fucking love performing for my fans, and making new ones. And if you want to be on the campaign trail, you've gotta take your show on the road. My hip-hop career is obviously influenced by wrestling, not only in the showmanship, but also the work ethic and questionable santiy (i.e. blading in a high school gymnasium for $15 - although I am saving my first on-stage blade-job for Austin, TX.) And since I recently got word that my day job may be folding due to cash-flow problems, I figure now is as good a time as any to Dewey Cox-it up.
Currently, you can catch me at:
OCT. 6th - New York, NY (40 C)
OCT. 7th - Brooklyn, NY (Delroy's)
OCT. 9th - Tucson, AZ (Sports On Congress)
OCT. 10th - Tempe, AZ (Dirty Devil)
OCT. 11th - Albequerque, NM (Blake's)
OCT. 12th - Phoenix, AZ (101.5 Jamz - Rhyme and Reason interview)
OCT. 16th - Johnson City, TN (The Hideaway)
and some more last minute dates being added.
Anyway, here's to the best in luck, travel (the way I get butt-violated by airport security, my last name had might as well be Bin Laden), clubs with half-way decent sound guys, pussy and packed houses. I'm sure there will be a full report when it's over.

Again, proving I am crazy or stupid...

Man, the "16th?!" SHIT! If that weren't a Thursday (or rather, a worknight), I'd probably have been able to make it, instead of having to take a day off that I don't have the hours for.
Hmm ... I have a little more than two weeks to figure out if an overnight trip might be worth some leave without pay.
Any other members of our scientific community making any plans for this? And if I commit to going, I ain't like some other folks we all know; I'll make that shit.
I'm pretty sure I'll be there.
Nate, I totally understand 100% if it's not cost-effective for you to make it, dont' even sweat that. If you DO make it, perhaps I will blade on stage or something to make it worth your while. Reverend, if you don't make it I'm dialing right down the center of the phone:
1-800-4-BRISCO
