Mermaid Tour 2015 - Starting Out in Oregon
Mermaid Tour 2015 - Starting Out in Oregon Day 1 of my 5 week tour started right on time. I could hardly believe it. By noon the van was packed and ready (see above)... a few errands around town, and I was on my way out of Eureka, CA by 2pm. Wooo!! Feeling great! Finally all the long hours of hard work over the past month was done. Seriously, I worked my ass off every day of June making clothes for this trip. 5 shows is no joke, and I wanted to sell sell sell. When I finally left I felt more ready, I think, than any tour before. There is a real sense of relief when I get started on a trip like this... so much work and prep and stress happens in the planning, and then the moment you leave town it is over. Bam. The rest is just coasting with your plans, no more can really be done. It feels a little surreal too, after all the planning and visualizing. Here I go, now I am doing this thing I've talked about for 6 months. I think I spent a lot of that first ...
