Hey rody, i'm on my first big tour, stuck in a van with 5 other people. None of us have had real showers or eaten nutritious food in days. It's a real pleb operation we have going here. How did you survive when you first started touring and what did you do to help occupy all of the down time?
There's nothing I can say that's going to make this any better. Just know that you're paying your dues in a very real way. A lot of bands go on their first tour and don't have to struggle at all, I have very little respect for it. Paying your dues might be a thing of the past but I think it's important.
