All in My Mind

Mirrored from the latest entry in Daron's Guitar Chronicles.

The next day we got to do a little more sightseeing before doing more press at the venue before soundcheck. I know, two days in a row where we got to see some of the city besides the parking lot and the green room? Unheard of. I suppose it was making up for the fact we didn’t see any of Bloomington, Minnesota? I went with Topher to a tiny, out of the way music shop that had vintage guitars and folk instruments of all kinds and we had a good time playing around with things like zithers before we had to head to the venue. I kind of wished we’d had a video camera because we had a kind of fun jam there.

Before soundcheck I took my bandages off and picked at the scab on my hand until it was almost completely gone. It felt basically like a sunburn now, and all the newly exposed skin was pink and shiny. I wrapped it lightly just so it wouldn’t look gross. I put the eyepatch with Cat Elvis, figuring I’d wait until the show to wear it.

Ziggy wasn’t doing so well.
