 The ritual, I guess, of getting ready for a show, day of, most of the time it involves like anyone who doesn't have work comes to the house here where we practice and packs up everything which can be range from four or five guitars, drum set, all the amps like an entire van full of stuff too if we're playing a smaller show maybe just a couple guitars and a couple amps, smaller drum set, load up the van and then make sure the van starts and then drive to wherever the show is. Really nice to play a show in Boston because all our friends are there but it's also a little more nerve-wracking to play in Boston because all our friends are there so sometimes I get especially like when we're you know when we're on stage just seeing people seeing my roommates in the crowd is kind of a different experience than seeing just general faces. There was one time we played at Rockwood Music Hall in New York and we parked kind of far away and we were just loading on stage and I was like where's my guitar and I couldn't find it anywhere I was like sure it had been stolen because we weren't watching the stuff or like we were trying to watch it but there's so many people in and out so I'm running around the venue we're supposed to be on stage setting up running around the venue trying to find the guitar don't find it I run to the van it's like a five-minute run it's not in the van so I'm now like convinced it's been stolen I'm like in this really terrible mood and I run back to the venue I'm just like okay I guess I'll just borrow one and eventually but I'm like in this awful mood and I'm supposed to be on stage and I finally I see it behind a curtain it has been moved like literally behind a curtain next to the stage so it's like oh my gosh thank gosh but my like stress level was so high at this point that we got on stage and I was just it was like the complete wrong headspace to be in before a show it's just very stressed and angry and not good freaking out yeah freaking out basically and so that's something that we've learned is like the the headspace that you are in right before you play and you know when you're getting to the venue is often the same one as when you get on stage so making sure that that can be as stress free and you know just the right the red you know the right mood is important before because you bring it with you on stage well you can prepare as well as you can for it but it's you're always going to have new things happening on stage that you didn't expect it's yeah usually a technical malfunction or sometimes the monitor level isn't right so you're just like I hope that I'm singing a tune but all you can do is just prepare you know as much as you can and hope for the best because once you're on there you're on there you know you can't you can't be like wait a minute I mean sometimes you have to but ideally not
