Boys of Summer book Entry #28

A dear friend of ours, Chuck Miller wrote to me today. Chuck’s an amazing man who can charm the fangs off a snake. He told us he’d like to give us some money for the project and that he’d be hitting up some of his friends.

Talk about your 11th hour blessings. This is going to make getting on the road a little less frightening.

Hey, one way or another, things are moving. The trip starts on Friday -- THIS FRIDAY! There's so much that needs to be done, so many things I wish would have been done. But you know what? We've done a lot and I'm going to have faith that it's enough to get us out there on the road and...somehow it will all work out.

We really need exposure help still (as I think so much else of what we need will come from that), so we keep knocking on doors, ringing phones/faxes and writing e-mails.

We're also in need of food/lodging locations in a number of places:

July 7 - Philadelphia
July 15 - Detroit
July 17 - Pittsburgh
July 19 - Cincinnati
July 20 - Kansas City
July 22 - Minneapolis
July 23 - Chicago
July 24 - Cleveland
July 25 - New York (upstate)
July 27 - Montreal
July 30 - Chicago
August 3 - St. Louis

I hate having this many “holes” in the production as we’re getting ready to start, but we’ve done the best we can. A lot of this is just going to have to be improvised.

St. Louis 8, Oakland 4
