Tryptophanious

The van is all packed up and all that’s left to do now is attempt to get 4 or 5 hours of sleep. My mind has been operating in a way that is not very human for the past 24 hours. Guitar strings, clean underwear, camera film, getting rid of that buzz on the 3rd fret, lunch?, gaffers tape, back ups for the back ups, everything except emotions and sentiment. There’s no time for that tonight but plenty of time on tomorrow’s ride. Book, yes, books! I need to bring books. At least 2, no more than 3.5. I’m sure I’m forgetting something. It will have to wait… or be left behind.

Ultimate Burger Thruster

So I’m about a week away from the first show of the fall tour. This is usually the time where Murphy’s Law makes its best attempt to shut everything down. Already there have been snags and hangnails but after a while you can predict these sort of things and get used to having plans b, c, and of course, d. Contingency strategies are a touring musician’s best tool. But I digress. We’ve got some new merch for this tour. We’ve got some new songs for the setlist as well. And I almost forgot to mention, I got a fancy new blog here too. I don’t want to scare you but you’re reading it right now.
