Default playing a gig with my guitar and my laptop (long thread but well worth it )

I just finished school and have had an enormous amount of time to write and record new music, which i haven't been able to do lately... I write and record my own stuff and i was going to put a band together to play with me but i've decided to just play shows by myself for now. the kind of music i write doesn't really allow me to just play the songs acoustic. ( i think that's really boring anyways)

anyways i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how i go about doing this. one idea was to just use the drum machine in reason and that's it. or maybe load a few tracks in protools to back me up. if i do this, then i might as well just hook a tape deck up to the pa and play against that.

i saw letigre (http://letigreworld.com/) and they were using a laptop that was running idvd. the girl would choose a track on the dvd, and there would be a video running in the background which had the drums on the dvd. they would play the rest of the instruments. this was really cool because the songs were in sync with the video projection behind. that's just another idea.

i was hoping someone else has done this in here? any ideas?

if you want to hear some of my stuff to get an idea on what i can do. go here. http://www.mrfusion.net/music.html
