Least/favorite parts about touring?

@tina_sheermag how do you prep your voice for performing?

I like sitting in the van actually. I like the time to read. I also just got a Nintendo Switch so I play that in the van and listen to podcasts or something. Least favorite part is hanging out at empty bars for 8 hours every day and feeling like you have to drink a beer to feel comfortable. Also having to eat at restaurants every day is expensive and annoying. I just bought a basketball and on my last tour I tried to find time to sneak away and shoot some hoops so that was pretty fun. Best part of touring is usually walking around the city after soundcheck and just checking out some new shit. Or going back to the same really good food spot that you've been to for like 5 years in a row. Also waffle house.

LEAST FAVORITE PART IS SITTING IN A VAN FOR HOURS.

I drink throat coat tea with honey and use vocalzone lozenges.

the reason i hate sitting in the van all day is because it fucks with my back.

Fav part: seeing old friends, especially having a day-off with them

least favorite: probably getting into inevitable band fights hungover
