I thought I was going to the USA, but I won't get further than to Ireland.

I am an idiot. I've been waiting for a big amount of money for forever, I thought I'd get it this week and then Sara and I would buy tickets to New York for a two week vacation/gigs and business. It turns out I'm not getting any money and instead of living la vida luxury for a while, we are now living on bread and water, literally. oh how much fun it is being a musician, always having all this money to spend ;-)

OK, the US trip is cancelled and there's not much I can do about it. However - I am going to Ireland with Sara since she has been booked to do a gig on this festival . This will be Sara's first ever show and I'm really glad to be there with her!

To sum things up: you win some - you lose some.

Last night I dreamt Sara's brother (who wasn't really her brother) came to visit along with his girlfriend. I had given him the brand new David & the Citizens album and the next day he told me he had put it out on the Internet for free downloading. I was furious and started yelling at him - we were all really angry and it all ended when he took his bicycle and rode away along the railway tracks.

I am stressed out for a number of reasons and this morning I didn't want to get out of bed, but now I'm up and we're going to the rehearsal place to practise for that Ireland gig.
