They said, oh, no, you've got to be the first five that are seen.
And I went, nobody, this is, are you shitting me?
I'm broke at the time.
And I have friends who are broke.
Now I've put together enough money to have my friends come so that to see if they think I'm psychotic doing, but I'm putting out a small fortune as far as I'm, I'm going broke to be there.
And the person's not there.
So I said, I'm not dealing with that.
So I found spaces around, uh, in part like the West bank eventually, uh,
Where before they were, I could go and just do stuff and not have to worry about, you know, bringing people or doing anything.
And as long as I wasn't making money, what difference did it make?
Yeah, a lot of it came from working at the West Bank, because I would open...
I became comfortable on stage there because otherwise I was a wreck on stage.
I mean, it was, you gotta relax.
And I found that to be the toughest part.
