Long time L.A. musician Bill See will sign and present his coming of age, on the road memoir 33 Days: Touring In A Van. Sleeping On Floors. Chasing A Dream”at multi-media event which will feature readings, Q&A, book signing and live music from Bill and Rajesh Makwana original band members of Divine Weeks, the band featured in the book.
See’s memoir focuses on the 33 days in the summer of 1987, when critically acclaimed L.A. indie rock band Divine Weeks toured in a beat up old van, sleeping on strangers’ floors, never sure they’d make enough gas money to get them to the next town. Bill See’s deeply personal memoir follows his band’s first tour across the U.S. and Canada. No soundman, no roadies, all they have is their music and each other’s friendship. 33 Days captures the essence of what it is to be 22 and chase a dream, back to a time in life when dreams don’t have boundaries, when everything is possible. The tour is one of those now or never experiences.
Take a shot at making the band work or leave it all behind and go your separate ways. Every one of us has that moment where we have to decide to either live our dreams or give up and regret it for the rest of our lives. 33 Days touches that part of us. The road is filled with yuppies, brothels, riots, sleeping on floors, spiked drinks, DJs with no pants, and battles with racism. They set out on the road to discovery to drink in all they could and maybe sell a few records. They grew up instead.
