Denton, Victoria, Marfa. You've sure chosen an eclectic mix of cities in Texas (plus, of course, Austin). BTW, you might want to take the "Dallas" off of "Dallas/Denton" since Denton is its own unique institution. :) Denton is a (two-)college town so Craigslist will help a lot.

Thanks for the tips!

I have things like Dallas/Denton the route because the actual stop is TBD but the cities are fairly close together (Dallas and Denton are about 50 minutes away from each other).

I've got a friend in Victoria so I'm stopping there for a show and to take a bit of a breather at the end of this marathon!

More like 90 minutes given how horrible 35E is these days (source: former Dentonite). I think Denton will be better suited to what you're trying to accomplish, but I'd skip any of the suburbs in between to have the best chance of drawing the audience you're after.

That might be the case for a commute in rush hour, but mid day it doesn't take nearly that long to drive between the two (I live nearby).

Cool - I've actually JUST set something up for Denton!

Will amend the route and thanks for the scoop on it taking roughly double the Google Maps estimate!

I saw Denton on there and while surprised, not really surprised. I think you can get a decent turnout there, a very music oriented town. If you're in Victoria (and you have those buffer days), would you maybe want to come out to Houston?

I'd love to come to Houston if you think you could help me set something up (I'm sure I could find some cool acts to perform) - julian at bundio.com
