Exciting things happened this week, explaining my blogging absence. Thing is, I went on my first ever tour. Twas a rock band music tour on the road
kind of affair (which totally brought out my inner groupie girl), only with two
singer songwriters so less of the rock and more of the music. However. There
were backstage wristbands involved, beardy tattooey roadies
carrying around stuff to and fro, plus free beers/avocadoes/crisps in the dressing
room. (I even discovered a vegetable crudité platter one night, with houmous for
dipping, and nearly wet myself. Unfortunately it was for sharing with
another band, the ever expanding-in-notoriety Rats on Rafts, so I couldn't eat the lot even though I'd had no dinner. But then I suppose having no dinner is very rock 'n' roll too.) There were fellow groupies who
mouthed along to all the songs (nil points for me on that one) and vied for a
place on the backstage sofa (I won all the points there). All in all it was
quite an adventure.
