Just about done with MI for a long time
Last night I played my last Detroit show for several months. It was badly timed (only a week after the Mustard Plug show) but I needed to have a show to promote at the Plug show and I needed to have a going away show. I was thinking it would be a disaster and it was actually pretty decent. A little too long, but the bands were all good. On Tuesday (I think) I'm driving to Connecticut and meeting up with the Flaming Tsunamis. We're doing a few days of rehearsals and then hitting the road.
I'm a little scared of this whole thing. Definitely the biggest change I've ever made to my life. I don't know if I'm going to be good enough on my instrument, I don't know if I'm going to stay healthy, I don't know how much I'm going to miss friends and home. I don't know if I'll be responsible with money. It's comforting, though, knowing that the Flaming Tsunamis have done this before. And I also probably wouldn't do this with any other group of people. After spending a week with them, I know pretty well that it's going to be a great time. I consider them some of my best friends already, so I will at least be in a comfortable place for three months.
I'll try to write here once in a while, but I might not. If I don't, watch for me in the spring.
