I spent the best decades of my life on the road.

Touring and not losing money is pretty wild. I basically only ever hear about people meeting financial ruin by touring.

I’ve never toured, but I want to just do like Beat Happening and just start off by touring a foreign country (Brazil maybe).

Foreign country would be sick, I have a few friends that have been able to do that. In a couple of cases it was from someone hitting them up literally offering to organize it for them. I am not sure what the net benefit is for that promoter, haha. Perhaps they get all the payouts

Touring sounds fun. I feel like the opportunity to share your work outside of your usual creative community is such a gift. (I've never toured but I hope to one day travel for readings/literary events).

For sure!! And get feedback in cities that don’t know you is pretty cool. It no longer feels like it’s only your friends when a bunch of strangers are hype about you haha. I bet touring for literary events would feel similar
