Big dreams.</strong><br/><br/>Cliché, I know – but this was <em>perfect</em>. After winning a regional Battle of the Bands, Beethoven's Legacy had been accepted onto the Shock and Awe Tour. It was a circuit intended to help up-and-coming rock and alternative bands find their feet and expand their fan base. It seemed like an ideal opportunity, and they jumped at the chance to join. The tour wasn’t high on funding, and though the members would be paid at their gigs they’d have to cover their own expenses, including transportation. <br/><br/>The only problem? It’s first date is also the only Canadian stop, and it’s all the way across the country in Montreal. From Vancouver that’s almost 5000 kilometers and by car will take about ten days.<br/><br/>So! Find a van, buy a map, pool your expenses, and off you go. Easy, right?<br/><br/>Not so much.<br/><br/><strong>You know when it feels like God is just out to get you?</strong><br/><br/><em>This is one of those times. <br/></em><br/><br/><br/><strong>--------------------</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong>[OOC Chat] (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?board=340.0)</strong></span> </div>
