Cecilia Grace brought this to my attention - a series of articles from a podcaster who's done the local 2 regional 2 touring band thing a couple of times and now makes his living another way. It provides a lot of information on how personal networking, not being a jerk, and paying attention to warning signs will help a working band stay on track. On the page, the articles are listed from 5 to one, so start at the bottom of the page and work your way upwards.

BTW, Cecilia Grace is a couple young girls starting to get notice in the Baltimore area. They are hardworking, talented, and much better looking than I. Their Facebook page is here.
