Thank you for your interest and asking questions to help me think it through!

how much of the story is spent on the MC going to meet his dad? (try to envision how many pages each part of the story will be); is the bulk of the story the road trip?

Not very much if any, it's mostly just background information.

how old are the kids? are they old enough to get in the concert legally?

Old enough to drive, so like just on the edge of 18 I suppose? A bit younger maybe.

have the kids gone on road trips before? how long is the drive?

I'd say not, and probably like 10 hours?

-where are they meeting all of these interesting characters if they're spending their time in the car?

My idea was to have them be friends and family of the main character generally.

-presuming they get into the concert, do they meet the band? is the concert small enough for that to be possible?

Good question, I'll have to think about it.

-have you thought of having them take greyhound?

I feel like the interactions in and around the van or car are where a lot of stuff happens, so maybe not?


-are they staying in a hotel somewhere? or are they driving back when the concert is over?


Probably sleeping in the van.

-do you know what the main characters are like?


Mostly!

-what are their motives for caring about this obscure music? are they pretentious or outcasts?

Not sure exactly, I think they're just really into that kind of scene.
