"Hi my name is Jerimae Yoder on behalf of Expert Village here a couple of things that will happen you will get on the road and you will get stiffed, either you will get stiff by a venue, or you'll get stiff by somebody who wanted a CD and stole a CD, or stole a tee shirt something like that. You will get ripped off you'll get stiffed you will get ripped off by your on your gear man, somebody's going to steal something it's almost guaranteed. Something is going to come up missing your going to get tired, your going to get cranky, your going to get hungry, and your going to have a blast. It's going to be great just try to go with the flow and make sure that everybody's having a good time in the band. Be careful with practical jokes and don't go to far to crazy especially if someone in the band is not to on practical jokes, it's easier to take it out on those guys do some fun stuff be careful with those things. You will tick each other off you guys will get ticked and you will not want to be on the same bus with the other person that's okay but work out your differences, cause you got a show that you got to play the next night, you guys got to be on top of your game. Because who knows maybe that A and R guy is going to be sitting in that second row and if you guys are ticked at each other and have vibes coming off on stage you may have blown your chance to a major deal. So make sure every time before you get on stage you drop everything that happen that day or everything that happen the day before and you guys knock there socks off and do your show."
