Title: I&#x27;m one of the co-founders of a startup called Bundio that enables artists and record labels to set up direct-to-fan subscriptions to their content. Prior to getting into startups I was a singer-songwriter but about two years ago I put music to the side for the most part. It’s a real problem because I strongly believe those that build the best platforms are actually users of those platforms. I came to the realization that I need to get back into music so I can be a user of the platform and build something remarkable. I also realized that money wasn’t going to be well-spent signing onto a new one year lease for $1k &#x2F; month in Boston.<p>So I’m getting out of the office and hitting the road!<p>On January 13th I will embark from Guilford, CT (my hometown) on a cross-country tour playing&#x2F;recording DIY concerts, making field recordings of artists (that I’ll add to a Bundio subscription), and meeting up with other startup founders as I pass through their towns.<p>55 days on the road,
25+ states (and Vancouver, BC),
30 shows (hopefully)<p>I’ll be documenting the entire journey daily on the site I created for the tour: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;housecallstour.com<p>How can you help? A number of ways: connect with me if you are on my route (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;housecallstour.com&#x2F;route) or know someone that is. I’m particularly interested in meeting up with those working on digital media, social media, and music startups. As I said above, I’m trying to put on DIY shows in living rooms and houses (Edit: adding link to my music - http:&#x2F;&#x2F;housecallstour.com&#x2F;about_drj). These will be house concerts (tame), not house parties (wild), so even if you haven’t hosted something like this before please do consider - it will be fun! Joining me for each show will be local performers. I could also use some help with couches to crash on along the way.<p>Anything I’m missing? Please let me know if you have any ideas for me or other ways you think the HN community can help!<p>Julian
