I'm starting to get paid more and more for my gigs. Although I've been able to find some pizza here and there, I've gone several days without eating and I think it's starting to take a toll on my health. UFO Pizza over by the library was having a sale on cold pizza slices. You pay a certain amount of Hive (they take Hive there, isn't that cool?) and then you can get a slice of cold pizza once per day. It's not a lot of food, but it wasn't a lot of money, either. Now, if I find some pizza, it'll be like a bonus. I'll always eat more pizza. I need the energy - I'm playing a ton of shows lately.
This is what I've invested in my music career outside of instruments and things like that:
ALL I NEED IS PFW - Pizza, Fans, Whiskey!
I'm doing a couple Saturday support sets... all in one day! Some of them were pretty early in the day, so I figured why not? I found the pizza and felt energized. It feels good to be making progress, but I definitely still need to save up to get out of town and play some shows ASAP.
It is my goal to hit level 20 and finally start taking this s*** seriously.
