I just got home from our concert at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. It was really interesting to visit Harlem - in my mind it has always been a dangerous place, and so I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it is in fact quite charming. Apparently, it has been cleaned up in the last couple of decades.
There is a Volta launch party starting any minute now, but I have a slight cold and generally feel under the weather. So I’ll just take it easy!
Inspite of feeling ill, I had a really good time at the concert. From my point of view, it was our best, so far. And the audience seemed enthusiastic.
I was extremely nervous at the beginning… as always. But I guess it will wear off after a while. Hopefully I won’t get TOO relaxed; a certain amount of nervousness is necessary to keep you on your toes.
The days of a show consist mostly of waiting as I believe I have already said. This time I remembered to bring a book!
We will be back on the road soon. We will spend most nights for the next two weeks on “sleeping coaches”, travelling by night and staying in various hotels during the day. I wonder how well I’ll manage to sleep on a bus… Hmmm. Never done it before!
I’m kind of glad that we are moving again. As a group we have been quite scattered here in New York, but starting to travel again will bring us back together.
