As television's all-important November sweeps descends upon us, many people have voiced concern about ABC's decision to drop Who Wants To Be A Booking Agent? from its Monday night line-up after only two episodes. Luckily, Will Oldham's alter ego Bonnie "Prince" Billy is swooping in to pick up the slack. The Bonnie Prince will be touring all over this great land of ours, bringing along northern California trio Brightblack (formerly known as Rainywood). The only problem? They don't have any venues booked! Um, Mr. Palace can't get a tour booked by an agency? Well, I guess this proves that my cousin's Collective Soul cover band has absolutely no chance.

A brief message on Drag City's website is asking for help in booking the tour, and they are specifically hoping to hear from folks down in the great southern states from "Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and maybe the Carolinas" (there's more than one Carolina? Who knew?). If you think you might be of assistance, check out Drag City's site for contact information. And while you're there, check out their internship opportunities. It's time you got off the couch and did something with your life, you freeloader.
