So I'm on the Friends & Family Tour. And while the tour isn't over, I just wanted to share a few musings.
We've currently been on the road for 17 days, and have 23 to go. I've loved every stinkin' minute of this tour - except for the bruises, those I could do without. Every day is an adventure - some are difficult, others are easy. But even on the craziest of days, the people out on this tour make it 37890156 times better. Everyone looks out for each other and does what they can to make the days smooth.
Why did I emphasize the name of the tour? I'm glad you asked. Pull up a chair. Allow me to explain.
Every night on stage, the guys recognize that this is the Friends AND Family Tour. And that it extends to not only the concertgoers, but to our crew as well. I was unsure, at the beginning of this, of how I'd 'fit in.' If I'm being perfectly honest, I don't often (if ever) listen to hip hop.
*SIDE NOTE: I don't think I've admitted that to the guys, so here's hoping my mattress doesn't end up on the top of the bus.*
But anyway, I was (admittedly) embarrassed that I wouldn't fit in, that the artists would do their thing, and the crew guys would do their thing, and I would do my own thing. I could not have been more wrong. These guys are my friends and family. They look out for the interests of everyone on the road, and make it a point to 'touch' everyone they meet. The interactions are genuine and the love is real. I sincerely hope these guys know how much they mean to me. I could go on, but I don't want the guys to think I'm a total mush, so I'll leave it at that and bring out the big guns in 23 days.
So, that's that. If you have a chance to come to a show, do it. It's crazy, it's fun, and you'll have a FANTASTIC time. (click the link. do it--> https://friendsandfamilytour.com/pages/vip)
Now to determine if I want to check out the hot tub, take a nap, eat or watch a movie. Or maybe I'll just do all of that. Why not, right?!
Who Else,
Ellie
