I’m home now. Happy Easter! Ohhh I wish you’d been at the Old Town show if you weren’t there, it was spectacular. The sound in that auditorium is so amazing, I don’t think I’ve ever played in a better-sounding venue and I think any other musician who’s played there would agree. It’s a just a room that was designed for perfect sound, plus there’s the whole history of the OTS, so many of the world’s greatest musicians have played there. I’ve seen so many amazing shows at the OTS since I moved to Chicago so it was just a huge thrill for me to be able to play my own music there for a night. And oh, the band sounded so great!! And I was singing just fine too. Maybe a little wobbley at first from the jitters but nothing wrong with it after that. Err… I was babbling onstage a little, what the fuck was I saying? But other than that I was really psyched with that whole show. Really great way to end what turned out to be a super fun tour! It all went great, we had a really good time and played a lot of fun shows and met up with so many old friends and made so many great new ones. I miss my bandmates already, we all got along so well, there were tons of laffs. Musically it was awesome, best band I’ve ever toured with. We had a few weird shows but that’s unavoidable on any tour, you have to play lots of different venues and maybe not all of them are going to be ideal in every way. Overall though, the good shows definitely outweighted the bad. I am very pleased with how it all came out in the end. I’m super fucking tired though, omigod. Sooo pooped… I don’t even have the mental energy to go through what-all went down on tour, not today anyway.
