This already has a lot of the data I'm looking for (well the calendar does) --

An expansion and streamlining of that would probably be the best thing.

Touring is essentially a huge depressing money pit unless you do it extremely right. Unless you're drawing people into shows like Anamanaguchi (you aren't), you're not going to survive unless you're an opener for a bigger draw.
My last tour had VERY FEW chip scene people show up, like 3 or less. And one of them was paid to be there. I realize the ticket prices weren't exactly $5 and some people were going to see me play at blip a week later, but holy crap that should be your wake up call to how many people might actually show up to these things.
Excellent point (and point taken).
There may be some misunderstanding going on here, though.
I'm not suggesting that we somehow start up a twice monthly chip showcase in a bunch of different cities since that would be nightmarish and largely pointless.
I'm hoping to figure out a general path that chip dudes who want to go on the road can follow that will already have possible show and lodging locations mapped out along with who from the scene is available for support at each stop. Ideally we could map out a "circuit" like this for East and West coast at least.
The possible show locations wouldn't necessarily be chip events. Just bars/clubs/etc that are open to booking chip acts along with their regulars.
Does that make more sense now?

What if the blip festival traveled? That should give a fair idea the logistics required.
It wouldn't be quite that extreme would it?
More a matter of finding available/reliable venues within a certain area and then fitting the show dates and travel together like a puzzle. One (or a few) artists and many venues "should" be simpler than MANY artists and one venue? Maybe?

What might a "typical" chip act tour consist of?
Something like: 1-2 weeks long, 7-10 dates, appearing at at least one recurring event (anything from a Pulsewave type thing to a monthly "EDM night" to MAGfest etc)
???

CM.O is my favorite sandwich shop where I talk with all the other regulars about cool shit and check the menu for any neat sounding new options. Sometimes I read all the flyers posted next to the door and see some events or whatever. Please don't make the place where I munch on chicken gyros and hang out into a voting booth plastered with ads for prime time sitcoms.

This is an instance where one of the many failed "community maps" would have come in really handy.

I floated the idea of having an East and West coast tour circuit for chip artists to a few people at Blip and it seems like this is something that's been trying to exist for quite a while.
This is totally out of my realm of knowledge. How can we get something like this organized? This is a conversation worth having, I think.
