Touring will really drain a body at the end of each day.
Not much of an excuse for neglecting you, sweet little Livejournal, but the best I've got.
Tonight, we play Nashville. I'm sitting on the edge of the stage, updating on my trusty laptop, while the crew sets things up. Soundcheck and a full run-through to follow, as I'm juggling the setlist around a tiny bit tonight.
Two fans have already been run off, with a hug from me, after giving them a chance to drop off the gifts that they made for me. When people come to the shows with such open hearts, it always touches me. Of course, I can't risk eating anything given by a fan, so sayeth the road manager. But I did sneak a bite of one of the brownies. A teenage girl isn't likely to try and poison me, after all. The other gift was a sketchpad, full from cover to cover with drawings inspired by the songs from Jagged Little Pill. I'll give it a good perusing tonight, on the bus. It'll give me something to do to pass the time that doesn't involve complaining that I'm hungry and the good restaurants aren't open.
If I never see the inside of another Denny's, it'll be too soon.
