Queers Tour Day 5
Today we drove to Tallahassee. When I got to the hotel we had some extra time so I decided to take a quick dip in the pool and soak up some sun. It was hot and sunny - perfect pool weather! When we got to the Engine Room, I ran through the new songs and got my UPDATED setlist ready to go.
I was super excited to see my old boss and good friend Jason from when I worked at Cafe Bagel in high school. He had always been super supportive coming to every KG show way after I stopped working there. Eventually he gave up the shop and moved to Tallahassee, but KG never got a chance to stop there on tour. It was so awesome to finally see him and meet his lovely wife Tara. We sat on the deck and caught up until I had to play.
The fates were shining upon me as there were no surprise songs added to tonight’s set other than the new ones I’d just prepared. Between hanging out with my good friend and playing a great set, I was on cloud nine after the show. I was still wound up by the time we got to the hotel. Fortunately, The Leftovers ended up staying at the same place so we hung out for a bit before finally calling it a night.
I forgot to mention I finished Bridget’s hat on day 2 - the one that was turning my hands orange. I just need to add buttons and some plastic to firm up the brim when I get home.
