FALL/WINTER TOUR 2003

             During the fall and winter of 2003, The Rocket Summer continued to tour and introduce the music to new people. After two shows in New York for CMJ, The Rocket Summer played after different openers every night. Early December was spent on the west coast with Watashi Wa, and then Bryce and Rob flew to Japan again.
             During this tour, Bryce's long-time good friend Seth came along, selling merchandise, driving the van, and sometimes playing guitar during "Movie Stars and Super Models." Also, Bryce occasionally played his 'new' song, "I'm Doing Everything (For You)" on acoustic guitar - and those who were there probably got into the habit of singing "ba, bada, dada, da da" at the beginning of it.
             Small shows and large shows on this tour were videotaped, and edited together for the Calendar Days re-release DVD that became available on March 9, 2004.
