Hi everyone,
Yesterday was simply awesome. It started with a gig at Rööperifest. It was a bit of a struggle with the sound but it was a good warm up for the single release in the evening.
I was a bit nervous before the gig since it was the most important one so far, but I managed to get rid of my "brain ghosts". I came to the conclusion that in the end it's just 45 min of my life. I wasn't going to waste that on nervous energy.
Last time I was in the Carebbean I jumped off a 40 m high cliff into the water. It wasn't just because I wanted a good adrenaline rush. For a couple of years now I've thought that being on the stage is like jumping of a cliff. Either you jump or you don't and when you do you have no idea what to expect. Anything can happen and the best thing you can do is to enjoy and go with it.
So when I woke up that morning in a random tree house and saw the cliff for the first time there was no way around it. Having that thought in my head so many time I just had to do it physically. Remembering this in the backstage room gave me all I needed for a good show.
By the time I got on the stage all "barin ghost" were gone and the feeling was awesome! The bar was full and the audience was great. Even my Kung Fu master showed up and I promised him to do a Kung Fu kick on the stage one day. I guess I have to start practicing with heels on.
Jyrki 69 (The 69 Eyes) was also there as a DJ playing rock music for a few hours and people seemed to have a good night.
After the gig the party continued for hours and I didn't get to bed until early in the morning. Now it's time to rest and sleep.
Cheers,
Jessica
