I can’t believe that the tour is already more than halfway over!! Only 6 shows left, which is definitely bittersweet. I’m admittedly pretty tired because of this crazy schedule, and I’m having a hard time remembering which city I’m in because I’m only in each one for 24 hours tops. But on the other hand this whole thing is ridiculously cool. I’ve seen soooo much and met so many people, and I get to sing for people almost every day. I think I am living the dream. I am also mastering the art of living out of a suitcase.
Last night I played in Jena at a place called the Fiddler’s Green Irish Pub. At first it was one of the “Oh crap I don’t think anyone’s going to come” situations, but it was a small place and filled up rather quickly. I didn’t play any Irish drinking songs (obviously), but most of the crowd was not at all like what you’d expect an Irish pub crowd to be like. They were quiet! I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record here…this blog must be getting boring…what can I do to spice things up a bit? Honestly I’m not feeling overly creative at the moment. I’m kind of an autopilot, and my brain power is on reserve for showtime. So today we’re off to Weimar (only 45 minutes away!!) where I am playing Divan Cafe und Restaurant. It’s mom’s last night here, and I’ve been keeping so much of my stuff in her suitcase I don’t know where I’m going to put it all when she leaves! Dad, pack light
