See Bill - 33 days : touring in a van. sleeping on floors. chasing a dream

Praise for 33 Days

Bill gives you a good picture of whatit was like to be in a band, on tour, loving music and hanging outin LA in the 80s. I was there as well, and I can tell you thatits all true this was our life, our reality. It certainly takesme back and reminds me of why it all mattered so much at the time. Steve Wynn, The Dream Syndicate

What Bill See articulates so perfectlyin 33 Days is the realization that life moves at light speed, andtheres never a better time than the present to turn dreams intoreality. The circumstances may be tough and the window ofopportunity small, but See appreciates that if rock n roll is thegateway to happiness, then let the music play. Stuart Levine,Variety

Bill See thoughtfully and effectivelycaptures the pathos and promise that fuels a young musiciansdreams and punctuates the grit and grandeur of life on the roadwith his poignant and nuanced memoir. Spencer Proffer, MusicProducer and Media Architect.

At once universal and deeply personal,this is a coming-of-age story for the D.I.Y. generation. Read thisand know what indie was when it still meant "independent." Conrad Heiney, Substitute Live Journal

33 days and the adventureof a lifetime. Truly one of those periods of time where dreamsbecame reality, if only for the blink of an eye. In 1987, DivineWeeks (Bill, Raj, George, Dave, and their road manager Ian) stuffedthemselves into a back of a beat up old van and went on their firsttour (Dont Hassle It Tour 87). No roadies, no soundman, playingdives, sleeping on someones floor, eating PB&J sandwiches. Music at its purest. The tour itself is one of those now or neverexperiences. Either the guys really take a shot at making the bandwork or they leave it all behind and go their separate ways. Familydemons, responsibilities, college, career, and relationshipsyelling are louder and louder demanding an answer, a direction, acommitment. Still, somewhere deep inside, each of the guys knowsthey had to do this or theyd regret not taking the chance. In theprocess, each guy has some unforgettable experiences while gainingsome clarity about who they want to be and whats really important. I think every one of us has that moment where we decide to eitherlive our dreams or just give up. 33 Days touches that part of us. Iread this story in one go-stayed up until 3:30 am to do so. Isimply couldnt put it down. It was like I was a tagalong for theride. My dreams may have been different at 22 years old but for afleeting moment I remembered. Tami Brady, T.C.M. Reviews
