I am getting so nervous about tour. But this picture makes me happy about traveling with a pack of women.  We are officially going to be a pack this time, FIVE, we are willing to sleep on the floor for a daily dose of Avalan.  

Today at work an older woman asked me what kind of music the band I am in plays, I said “dance music,” she said “Jazz?” and I said “not really.” Then she asked if we used batons because her husband had invented the batons with lights on the ends, I told her not really.  She was very sassy n sweet and told me it was good to go on adventures because it makes you happier when you’re older.  But the reason I am writing this story is because at the end of the conversation she said, “so what kind of music is it your band plays?,” and I said “Its dancey music,” and she said “OH, so it is Jazz!” and then at that point I just agreed.
