A company had offered help to, you know, help with the tour, but we wanted to do it.

We thought we felt that we were capable.

We also wanted to see how involved it was.

And if we were just going to give money away to somebody or if we could handle it ourselves.

And we did the show for two years, had a very good like success with it.

And now we know what's involved, but that was always going to be the approach.

Cause it's like, we can do it.

Like, let's just do it ourselves.

And a lot of people don't,

We heard from a lot of venues that a lot of people show up with a big team and they have this and that.

Granted, we don't really have a super involved show, to be fair.

But people were always kind of like, oh, it's just you guys?

There was a stage manager that... Like, they have people there.

But, like, usually... I mean, MSG is a different thing.

They hire, like, some guy who's, like, done it, and he's, like, for real.

But in other places, it's just someone who works at the theater.

And sometimes you get to a theater that's, like, super old.

And, you know, like, in Tampa, I don't even remember the name of the venue, but we went there, and the computer that they tried to upload...

like show to basically because we have some assets on the screen and whatnot and some other components and the computer was like from fucking 1857 and the guys like hold on I got a MacBook he brings out something from 1995 I'm like we're getting warmer but this won't turn on and we had to get our photographer to go back to the hotel room get his laptop set up the entire show and then we basically ran the entire thing and

So sometimes you run into that if you don't have an entire team like that, that shows up and like plugs in, does the whole thing.
