Hello to everyone reading this post,
Listen, I'm the TourDogg and would just like to say that. If you are concidering becoming an artist tour manager or you are a musician yourself. Do yourself a favor and check out my website TourDoggSecrets. First I would like to tell you that I'm not some guru that has ask three tour managers about how to become an artist tour manager and started to write about it. I'm a Artist tour manager that has spent the last 20 years doing what I do!
So the information in my e-manual is real. I started writing TourDoggSecrets because a lot of people where asking me about my work, and how could they become an artrist tour manager. As we all know, there is no magic pill too becoming anything in the music industry.
So, this is when I started writing this e-manual. This e-manual will help you get started in the music busness as an artist tour manager. But it will also save your ass out on the road! I've been there and done that (as they say.) For me, It''s about the information you will need when confronted with a situation,and you have know where else to turn too. I can't say to you that I have all the answer's to all that will happen out on tour, but I can point you in the right direction!
Somethings you just have to learn on your own. That's the beauty of artist tour managing, being able to THINK ON YOUR FEET! I would also like to include that this e-manual is also for musicians as well. Their are many musicians that don't know a thing about the touring business. I have seen them in action, and It's not a pretty sight! I tell musicians that It makes a difference when you work with a band and when you become a band leader.
Working with a band you can relax! Being a band leader is a totally different bag! You can ask anyone that is a band leader,and they will tell you the same. Responsibility comes into play as a band leader, and if you don't know what to do your in for a big surprise. Some cat's don't even know what type of microphone they are using on stage.
In TourDoggSecrets I try to make it as user friendly as possible with the information at hand, so that you'll be able to find Time zone's from around the world, electrical outlet information from around the world where to find passport info, Instrument websites and just about anything having to do with traveling while on tour.
Thier are some people that say, why is your e-manual so expensive. My response to this is "If your out on tour and you run-up against some shit that you don't know about and tourdoggsecrerts helps you. I've done my job and you still have a job! So you tell me is it worth it?"
Well anyway I would just like to say, stop by and check out my website and pick-up a free sample of the e-manual.

Hi TourDogg,
We at nzmusic.com don't really condone ongoing free advertising for commercial ventures, so you won't be able to post any more classifieds. Besides, it's a bit of a lost cause on this site, since one of our regulars has already compiled a tour manual and distributes it for free.
Also, I don't think "guru" means what you think it means.
Chur,
(waves fairy wand)

Well, sorry to you my lady. I was just trying to explan to you guys about my e-book. I know what a Guru is , but on the internet this is the term we use when a person is a famous internet marketer.
Plus if it is someone here giving away a free ebook more power to them! I put to much work in my e-manual to give it away! For me it's like giving away your music for free!

I don't think "messaga" means what you think it does. Which is something. Because it means nothing, Tourdogg! It means nothing.
And now, a messaga from White ...
And now, a messaga from White Rhino
So the options are:
a.)
Give some American dude we've never met, who calls himself Tourdogg (like Snoop Dogg, but without the sweet hos and killer rhymes), aka Larry Stevenson, money for an "e-book" (i.e. a PDF file) on touring in the United States, or something.
b.)
Get a free actual book (i.e. not a PDF file - a nice, solid book you can read on your bed, or in the sun or even in your van while on tour!) from Blink, who as we all know has toured this country more than Suzanne Prentice, John Rowles and Tana Umanga combined, and probably literally more than any musician in NZ. His book has stuff like where to get a pie filled with meat (a popular food in NZ, almost a food group in itself, and not at the sharp end of the pyramid I might add) at 2am in Motueka, and other such things. Whereas I bet yours is stuff like "Always get to the airport two hours before take off". We know that, Larry! We know! But what I want to know is, where is my next pie coming from? Because I want one, and fuck the time.
c.)
Ask friends in bands for anecdotal advice on how best to tour NZ.
I would take (b), then (c), and then (a), Larry. Have you ever even been to NZ, 'dogg? You were probably too busy working on your e-book, am I right?

Just to warn people not to subsribe...not that anyone would.

Hey! No I've never been to NZ but ...
Hey! No I've never been to NZ but would love to go some day. I go where the music takes me. Maybe one day I will get there and you can see the real TourDogg in action...LOL
But getting back to what you wrote about my ebook (e-manual) I know their are ebooks out here, and I know that some are free. But it's one thing you can't do with a book and that is click on it to take you to a website that can help you find you an airport , resturant, passport info or an hotel! You can't also with a hard copy find out what time it is in NZ if your traveling in Europe.
This is just some of the advantage of my e-manual. Let me say something else also... The tour managers Priciples are the same, if you are in NZ are America or anywhere else for that matter.
You made another remark about. when you get to the airpot two hour's before. That's is as important as all other thing as well. But I write about what you need to do when you get to the airport with a group, what to do when you get to a festival with a group or band. Now that's impotant too. Where to go when you get to the festival who to look for at an festival, you get the pic.? Now their are many people out here that has never been to a festival that would like to know this type information don't you think?
Now let me ask you a Question...Have you ever toured in America or Europe before or have you ever Toured? If you havn't you would want to have my e-manual handy!
One more thing, I'm an American. but I lived around the world. So that stuff about me being an American guy you can keep. We are all the same PAL!!! So what if i'm an American, What you don't like American's? Or are you one of those Nationalistic cats that think that everyone should stay in there own Country?
Plus I didn't make up the Name TourDogg...I earn the Name TourDogg becauseI i'm alway's on tour working like a dogg so musicians started calling me the tourdogg. This shit isn't made up man It's real!!
I have sold many e-manuals, and guest what?? Some people that purchased my e-manual are from New Zealand.
Thank's for looking out.

I think I'm begining to like you, no idea why, maybe it's cause you don't give up, and so far you've been non confrontational despite my ( our ) doubts. I still don't know if what your offering is anygood, as it goes it's not something I'll ever need, but I hope you understand my ( our ) doubts. there's so many people out there who take advantage of other peoples aspirations for their own capital gains, they offer " help " "advice " etc .. but for a fee. That works if your dealing with a known source, where it becomes doubtful is when it comes from left field ... as your offer dose / has ..

One more word out of you and I'm going to tell your Mother what you said!!! You must be a kid or something to that matter with a mouth like that. Now go to bed and get some sleep!

Now to the other person that said they maybe like me...I thank you for the compliment! And yes I understand your reason's. Just rest asured that I'm what I'm.... Been there and done that. Not only that I was thinking that this was an Musicians forum. The Musicians I know don't make comments like this, that take the info and use it or that say thanks for the info. Not F..U. to someone they don't know.
I have been rip off trying to promote this website as well with traffic websites saying that they can promote my website. ( Ya right) So that is when I decided to promote my owe site. Listen if you ever get your own website are you have one do it yourself...I know!
You will run into people like this all the time, but you keep going If you believe in what your doing.
Check out my site...I will not tell anyone...LOL

Supplement my income....You are DAMM Right! I don't know about you, but I think everyone needs to supplement their income. I'm not some rich guy on the internet having fun. I'm working and I just happen to write an e-manual about what I know about. Now you tell me is it something wrong with this?
It's like you telling a musician working as a music teacher when he's not touring too not supplement their income. (Hello!! Real World Check)

Tourdogg....does your 'e-manual' contain advice on how to deal with out of control groupies? Rock 'N' Roll is a savage animal as we all know.
Also does it contain advice on how to juggle doing your taxes whilst satisfying the demands of said groupies at the same time? Just curious....

Dude, its called "Tall Poppy Syndrome"
Its something i think NZers were born with. we dont like it when people appear to have thought of something first, or to be doing it a better way - or anywhere in between. add to that the fact that your from the country that the entire world hates right now, and this is what you get.....
im not apologising for it, but full credit to you for doing what you do for whatever reason. passing on knowledge - whether you're makin money out of it or not.
and no. im not going to buy your e-manual.
