It's really not for me.

Numbers in general, just not my bag.

And we stayed in all kinds of places.

But in Canada, we stayed at their friend's house, and they had me sleep in the basement.

And there was a cat who was on death's door.

And I just remember being in this Canadian basement with this dying cat.

And I was just like, what?

This is terrible.

And so my solution was to suggest that we bring my boyfriend.

And they were like, great.

Two for the price of one.

Because they knew Mike and they knew that he actually would be good at it.

So the second time we went out, he came and then everything was great because we both had our jobs that we were good at.

Mike was good at everything that had to do with the actual job of it.

You know, like ordering the t-shirts and making sure that this box was getting shipped to Bloomington, Indiana or whatever.

And I was good at talking to people.

So, I mean, we did that for 10 years.

But what I loved was during the concerts, no one would come out and see us.

And so we would mostly just get to watch the show every night.

And I loved it.
