Is it possible to break a little toe without realising? o.O I think so? Or it could be a bad toe cramp?

We played this stage on Tuesday! I didn’t even have to worry about accidentally knocking the cymbals when bowing as we had SO MUCH ROOM. This is Saint Vitus - pretty well know music venue in Brooklyn. Super stoked to play it. And they want us to come back!

Well my toe has been a bit bruised and swollen but I don't feel any pain bending it etc. It's just when it's touched. That's actually how I realise... I was just inter-locking toes one day and was like "ow! What's going on with that one" We played this stage on Tuesday! I didn’t even have to worry about accidentally knocking the cymbals when bowing as we had SO MUCH ROOM. This is Saint Vitus - pretty well know music venue in Brooklyn. Super stoked to play it. And they want us to come back! Heh looks like a fun space. Glad it went well!

Sounds like a contusion. If it doesn’t hurt when you move it, it’s unlikely it’s broken. But given its sore to the touch you definitely bruised it somehow.
We had a great show. I had the perfect amount of tequila. But... I literally shredded by bow by shredding ... and then I broke a part of my bow near the frog. It broke our second to last song and I was just hoping it would get me through! It did!

I just had to Google to confirm that "frog" was indeed part of the instrument. I thought you'd been on the Tequila again before logging in, for a second. ;p

Oh and it's also pissing it down... perfect weather for transporting lots of artwork over long distances by foot. ;p

That doesn’t sound very nice Paul. Wishing you safe travels and hope all your art is dry and intact when you arrive.
Have a lovely time!

I'll update sometime when I've recovered but the short version is, had a great time and made a lot of money. So much so I've booked another convention for later in the year (alongside another event I already have booked). But I tell you what, I had a REALLY fucking disturbing dream last night after I got back to the hotel. Like the most disturbing dream I've ever had, probably.... I basically dreamed that I was cutting bits of my limbs off with a huge butchers knife. First my left arm, then my right, then my legs......... yeah, dream logic for you there, doing the legs last..... and then I woke up because I was looking at the inside of my leg after hacking off half of it at which point I realised there was no going back and I'd never have legs again and MAJORLY freaking out! Now, if I was to get all psychoanalytical on myself, here, there's a rather worrying comparison to be made here. One of the reasons I'd felt so nervous about the con was the fact I was putting myself out into the world through my ideas and my art.... and then, after feeling exhausted from 8 hours of solid drawing, I have a dream where I'm cutting bits of myself off. Does that strike anyone else as feeling more than a bit symbolic? XD

Ooh this was unexpected. Someone has uploaded a mini-recap from the weekend. You can see me doodling a few times (thankfully I was busy every time the camera was on me ha) as well as posing for the group shot at the end.
But above that, gives a good idea of what the atmosphere and crowd was like, for anyone interested!

Have you guys been watching TheRugbyPlatypus/Robin’s video blogs from the 2,650 mile walk she’s doing?
I tell you what, I know from taking camping gear to Download every summer (except this one!) how quickly I’ve had enough of carrying that shit around, I can’t imagine walking 15 miles a day and having to put the tent back up and down constantly!
And she’s going to be out there for 5-6 months doing it daily. Mad respect,

Seriously it’s amazing what she’s doing. I don’t know the back story behind it - do you?
