Having dinner before the gig with Dad, and Frank and Michael from ToneToaster

Nooooo I don’t want to leave!! Please let me stay!! I definitely expected to have a lot of fun on this tour, but I didn’t expect to fall so in love with Germany!
The last gig in Lippstadt at this super hip cocktail bar called Kajute was wonderful. I tried to spend every moment of it just soaking up how amazing it is to be here and play music for people. I was worried that people weren’t going to come because it was a nice Sunday night, but lots of people came (many of whom owned my CD…wild) and I really didn’t want to stop playing, even after the 2nd encore. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the crowds here. Everyone watches and listens so quietly, and it’s the best feeling ever. I can’t believe that I played 14 (mostly 2-hour) shows in 16 days. Honestly after the first 5 gigs I was so beat I didn’t think I was going to make it. But now my body has finally adjusted to the pace and I feel like I could keep going forever! I’ve actually enjoyed driving at least 2 hours a day and being in a different city every night, going to sleep and waking up in a hotel (the breakfasts are always soooo good). I don’t want to be off tour. I loooove it!
Thank you SO much to ToneToaster, the booking agency who booked me this crazy adventure, and to CMM Promotion here in Germany for doing such a great job with press and promo. And danke, danke, danke shon to Germany and all of you beautiful people in it for letting me play for you and being such amazing audiences. You made my first official tour something I will never forget!!
So now I’m off to England for the week with my Dad, and my internet access will be limited…which might be a good thing because I can relax a bit from trying to be on this thing 24-7. I’m so proud of myself for keeping up with the blogs hahah. Thank you so much to www.hooked-on-music.de for their support in posting all of my updates on their site!
Auf wiedersehen Deutschland, ich liebe dich!! I will be seeing you again very soon!!!!
