The past couple weeks have really been a blur. I'm finally getting the chance to tour around these great United States playing music with my good friend Rayvon Owen (check him out! rayvonowen.com), playing dozens of colleges from New Mexico to New Jersey. Definitely something I've always wanted to do, but man, traveling is no joke. Just a few things I have a new found appreciation for:
Managers - people who organize and figure out the details and get you what you need when you need it
Being 25 - which neither of us are...renting cars = goodbye money
Having a tour bus + hired driver (also don't have) - Luckily, we've been able to fly most places, but that adds on rental cars or taxis, hotels, airports with lines and security, checked bag fees, etc. It would definitely be nice to get on a bus and wake up where I need to be the next day
But seriously, its been a lot of fun, and I don't take for granted I've got a pretty cool job that I get to do everyday. I'll try to post updates on where I am and what I'm doing. We played Furman University this evening on an outside stage gazing over their beautiful lake. It was a fun show, but I forgot what humidity is like- I felt like I'd taken a bath by the end of the night! Tomorrow, its to Coastal Carolina.
Goodnight,
Ross
