Gonna be playing a moderately sized music festival this weekend with my band Stay Fashionable.

Gonna be one of the first fests I play with SF post pandemic.

I'm trying not to play more than once every two weeks because it's exhausting.

I know the dudes in Big Gaping Holes and No Asylum, so hopefully it won't be too awkward.

It's a camping fest, so I'm debating whether I'm gonna grind down there and party and camp out, or just pull a "professional" and drive all day and night so I can get home ASAP.

No Asylum has Billy Reeves from Random Conflict in it, and their drummer is gonna let me use his kit to reduce how much gear we all have to carry. I gotta shove three people and full playout bass and guitar rigs in a kia sportage and although I might possibly could fit a stripped down kit in there if I russian dolled it, it's gonna be a lot more comfy with no drums.

Do I "PARTY" party or do I just run in, play, and run out? I feel like I should try to socialize and "network" or whatever because playing festivals is one of my favorite types of gig.

I'm well into "crazy season" and we're only three weeks away from the anniversary date, so I'm gonna be good and dissociated for this whole experience. I'm the one with the car and the insurance too so I'll be the one driving most if not all of the time.

There's a lot to worry about, but there's also nothing worrying will do. You just kind of have to keep your eyes open and pay attention for opportunities. It'll either be one of the best nights of my life or a soulcrushing nightmare.

It might end up being so surreal it registers in my mind as a dream, even though it's really happening.

My gf won't be there to take pics so I might have to document it myself.
