I can't bring myself to say all the stuff that is on my mind when doing the tour planning.
It's some logistical Kung Fu, I tell ya.
Each time we do this I genuinely question my capacity to manage the process. If anyone tells you this is easy, please give them my number.
I am fairly sure I have written that, here, before.
Dates, equipment, transport, other logistics. Yikes.
As I was resolving the Next problem that arose today (it always happens) I flashed back to when we had to can the 2017 Tour 7 days before, when one of the guys had a health scare. That was actually a pretty easy decision, even factoring all the work that had gone into it.
That makes me feel pretty comfortable that we can make the hard calls when we need to.
At the same time, the little things like figuring out how to make distance and travel with 6+ people and a car load of gear in US Winter is giving me some pause for thought.
At least the smoke here has dropped off somewhat. Only just noticed the birds are singing again.
Ok, so, back to the calcs, miles to the Gallon, distance and....(sigh).
Whose bright idea was this? Oh yeah we won that comp thing. Right.
I did a show outside during the smoke, 3 weeks back. I'm still recovering.
It does no good for singing whatsoever; I'm not doing that again.
This has been a totally bonkers period, I don't think anyone predicted 'smoke' as a reason to cancel a show.
We'll be monitoring conditions over the next couple of days and will post up here depending on outcome.
It was just plain dangerous yesterday and only 'hazy' today, which was about the same conditions as the last time I tried it.
If conditions continue as they are, it'll be a No from me, which will bum us all out.
Even so, our thoughts first and foremost are with the firefighters and the folks who have been affected by this 'perfect firestorm'.
Bloody heck.
Between the smoke, modern times and Current Affairs, people around me are expressing some anxiety.
When we made this, it was our reaction to the tempest of 2016.
It's time to share a calm moment in 2019.
Headphones, low light, and the journey to new beginnings.
Weather forecast is same.
Took me 2 weeks recovery from singing at Bowral during the smoke and it's gotten worse.
No show tomorrow.
When we said this markets project was 'weather permitting' none of us thought this would be the reason why.
Itchy eyes, blocked nose, it's hard to breath and it's advisable to stay inside?
This is bonkers.
Imagine what the fire fighters and locals near the actual flames are going through.
Don't know where to even begin...
