Trixxi Powers is every guy’s dream musician: blonde, sexy, and amazing on the keyboard. Life seems complete as she kicks off her tour with her successful band, FunkTime, knowing her loving boyfriend, Steve, is supporting her shot at fame. Until technical problems dog her performance in their first few shows and the lead musician, Mel Masters, expects her to sort their problems out with their sound engineer, Robbie. It should be straightforward, except Robbie is more interested in getting into Trixxi’s pants than helping with the sound problems. Pressure mounts as their next show approaches. This is not just her big moment to shine, but the band’s as well: their show will be on one of the most hallowed stages in Britain, the famous Brighton Dome theatre. If Trixxi’s technical glitches continue, it won’t just be the end of her career but the end of the band itself. Will she compromise her faithfulness to her boyfriend? Is the guilt of a secret affair worth saving the fate of FunkTime and what might be their one and only shot at fame? Trixxi’s time is running out and this is the moment where her relationship with Steve will reach a true crossroads, a moment that will either bring them closer together or tear them forever apart. What Goes on Tour is a 8,300-word short story.

Culture on Tour

Author: Edward M. Bruner
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226077632
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 319

Book Description
Recruited to be a lecturer on a group tour of Indonesia, Edward M. Bruner decided to make the tourists aware of tourism itself. He photographed tourists photographing Indonesians, asking the group how they felt having their pictures taken without their permission. After a dance performance, Bruner explained to the group that the exhibition was not traditional, but instead had been set up specifically for tourists. His efforts to induce reflexivity led to conflict with the tour company, which wanted the displays to be viewed as replicas of culture and to remain unexamined. Although Bruner was eventually fired, the experience became part of a sustained exploration of tourist performances, narratives, and practices. Synthesizing more than twenty years of research in cultural tourism, Culture on Tour analyzes a remarkable variety of tourist productions, ranging from safari excursions in Kenya and dance dramas in Bali to an Abraham Lincoln heritage site in Illinois. Bruner examines each site in all its particularity, taking account of global and local factors, as well as the multiple perspectives of the various actors—the tourists, the producers, the locals, and even the anthropologist himself. The collection will be essential to those in the field as well as to readers interested in globalization and travel.
