Jake's Tour Schedule for the year 2000
Added 2022-10-01 22:23:43 +0000 UTCNo charge for this post as it is not a story chapter. I finished my work rotation early this morning, came home and slept for seven hours, and then got up to start working on the next chapter in the tale. I quickly realized that in order to keep the coming chapters coherent and to avoid continuity errors, I needed to actually figure out every date and location of every performance in the tour. So… I sat my ass down, pulled up a map of North America and a calendar for the year 2000, and then mapped out the entire tour. Took me about 2 hours. This is the template I will use to map out the next few chapters and keep everything on track. Already I can see I’m going to have to retro a few things in earlier chapters such as where they are when Celia meets up with them (Houston instead of Dallas) and how many actual shows there are (72 instead of whatever I first said). I apologize for the inconvenience, but this is how I write and try to maintain a coherent timeline. For those who are interested in how I come up with things, I’m posting a copy of the tour schedule (while reserving the right to change it around if need be later on). I’m sorry if I did not include your city or area. I tried to hit all the majors with the thought that people would be willing to travel to see Jake and the band play.

Thank you for this information. I do not know if I am going to have any significant scene in Montreal at this point, but if I do, I will take your advice. And if I need French help at any point, I will call on you. This is why I love reader feedback and a good example of how it contributes to the story.

2022-10-08 06:45:05 +0000 UTCLiving in Montréal, I am happy to see 3 shows here. At the time i would have to drive from Québec city. Please do not use the Olympic stadium (bad sound and big for 3 shows). The Bell centre (then known as the Molson Center) would be the place. Look it up on Wikipedia, it gives the seating distribution depending on the configuration. If you do a scene here, I am also available for a french translation...
2022-10-06 11:19:57 +0000 UTCThis is good information. Thank you. There will likely be a scene or two in Houston because that's where Celia will meet up with them. I am sure I will be mentioning the hotel and venue for the stop. This is why I love this kind of feedback from Patrons and how it makes the story more interesting and accurate.

2022-10-06 06:19:16 +0000 UTC3 shows in Houston Houston in 2000 was Astro Dome City it was in its last years. The Dome was an awesome arena with amazing sound there is a lot of local lore about the venue it is now a white elephant relic of old boom town Houston Today we have NRG. Minute Maid ball park and Toyota Center all are better venues but the Dome was the 8th Wonder of the World in 2000 l The best Hotel at the time and today was the Hyat Regency on Smith st A possible other venue would be Rice Stadium where president JFK proposed the Moon Project Pete Kelly
