On Friday we brought you Martin Atkin’s take on touring 101. Now we drop some more advice from Thor Harris. #8 is kind of funny “8-Masturbate. Duh… Where & when? Be creative. You’re an artist right?”. Yep, low-brow humor is where we keep it on a Saturday afternoon.

1-Don’t Complain. Bitching, moaning, whining is tour cancer. If something is wrong fix it or shut the fuck up you fucking dick. goddamn.
2-If you fart, claim it.
3-Don’t Lose shit. Everybody loses shit. Don’t fucking do it. Asshole.
4-Don’t fuck anyone in the band. There are tons of people to fuck who are not in this band. Dumbass.
5-If you feel like shit all the time, drink less beer at the gig. You will play better & feel better. What are you… a child? Some have the endurance for self abuse. Most don’t.
6-Remember the soundman’s name. He will do a better job.

Wow! What a fun day. BTTV made it on to the SXSW homepage. It may not be up there for long so we’ve got a pic below. That’s Todd’s mug lookin’ at ya.
To make things even more crazy our panel got picked via the SXSW Panel Picker. What? Whoa! It’s called “Friend-bases to Fan-bases: Why you must tour now”. We’ll have more details on that in the coming weeks.
