hallo loves.
i gave myself a gift which i am glad i gave myself. instead of heading from london tomorrow straight to the show in amsterdam, i have myself the night off from having to think about a home or a husband or a child or the stressors that come along with all three and i hailed my ass to amsterdam early so i could think about my show.
i meant to work on it more over the summer. but i’m sorry. i just fucking didn’t. i put it in a drawer of my brain to turn into something subconscious and here i am the night before the tour kicks off in europe and i’m no further ahead with clever solutions for how to make this fucker shorter.
ive cut two songs. i’m going to try to make the stories shorter. it’s hard. the curfews in europe are punishing. the show sometimes went 4-5 hours in the states. tomorrow i have 3 hours and 15 minutes before they pull the plug. i won’t know what happens til i get up there.
so i am asking you
as i sit in this cafe with my wine and my candle and my blank fucking page ...
feedback, please. if you saw the show in the states (not that any two nights were exactly the same, but they were close)...give me gentle feedback.
warning: spoiler alert. if you haven’t seen the show and want it to feel new, don’t read this thread.
ok saying “i wish you’d played my favorite song“ wont help me.
saying “just cut some stuff“ won’t help me.
saying “this part really touched me / this part really dragged on and i got bored“ will help me.
saying YOU CAN DO THE THING
is always appreciated.
i had to cut machete. i had to cut the thing about things. it hurt me.
also, if there’s anything else you wanna say to me because i’m going to see you tomorrow in amsterdam or friday in berlin, hit me.
alex just hit the road with a new merch duck and is ready to sell you eight million things.
