Today was a rough day. I found out this Morning that a show in Virginia was canceled for the 25th. This is so common for bands on tour (and everyone) but its still really hard when it happens and less than a week before the show- Leaving you to completely scramble to figure something out- But Im 1 person...Im just too tired to do it. Then there was Sleepover Fest that evening. It was such an incredible, inspiring event but I spent the first half of the show really anxious and unable to really maintain eye contact. Then another band asked to switch spots with me because they drove from Connecticut and they were afraid the show would get shut down by Police before they played. This was the real bummer. Not because I had to switch, but because of WHY...If the show had gotten shut down right before my set, the most they wouldve said was, Sorry Dude... It felt like I was sacrificing my set for people I didnt even know- but I said yes. I completely broke down after that. It was the result of many of these situations. As a solo musician, you get shafted like no other. Ive seen it happen long before I ever thought itd be me. Its strange because that never happened to Whoda, but we never did that to anyone else either. Now its time for me to learn how to say no, even if it means making it harder for someone else. Although I have never been so stressed and on edge in my life, this tour is slowly teaching me some things I really need to know if I ever survive it. And that was really the point. I cant complain. The literal sweat and tears are all worth it. People seem happy when the sets are over. I seem happy when the sets are over. I dont care what anyone says. Do NOT ever give up. This is just a very Mal Beginning.
