yay for touring

this time tomorrow
ill be in boulder
more than likely sleeping
i hope

sometimes i forget how stressful
this traveling live show stuff can be

the coordinating
the packing
the rendering of new bits to play
the airport
the flying doesnt bother me so much
really

however
ive never done this many shows
in this short of a time period

four shows
to prepare for
what was i thinking?
seriously
i must be mad

you might be thinking
“oh stop rich, it cant be that bad… play the same show four times”
to which i say
you have never been to more than one proem show have you?

proem live sets are beautiful snowflakes
[text high five for the fight club reference]
each one special, individual
mostly cuz i just pull it out of my hat
while im up there
doing my smoking live thing
[abracadabra!!! i give you beats and melodies!!!!]

truth is
i dont like to be bored.
playing the same EXACT set
more than once
would only
make my djface™ look three times as apathetic

maybe its just the anticipation of the thing
thats got me wired
jittery
even

  Hey man I just saw your set in SF at the Madrone Lounge… I really enjoyed it. I wanted to come up and say hi, but the crowd was so apathetic just standing there blankly after the set that it seemed almost taboo.

  Anyway Socially Inept has been seriously my favorite cd for awhile now and today I finally ordered it with your new one.

  I show your stuff to my buddies all the time, and I really hope that you get some of the recognition that you well deserve.

  Thanks again for coming to SF.

  Yeah, I definitly wish I had come up and chatted :(. There’s always next time.

  And I got both albums in the mail… I’m loving the new one! I suppose I will always be partial to Socially Inept, but lately I’ve been gettin my groove on to “we’ll me mostly golden.” This is a great follow-up.
