There's always the show you just don't feel like playing. It can be at a great venue (it was!) with a great band sharing the bill (they were!) but your energy is just off and better turned inward or turned towards one person or a couple of people than out into an audience.
It was even a little tough to go into the venue. * and I hung out on the side of the building and -- I'm so sorry, Last Monarchs, you're amazing, and I'll catch a full set soon, I promise -- it felt sort of like skipping class, slumped in the grass beside the wall and not even really talking about important things, just being mellow, enjoying the breeze and lack of humidity.
*name withheld to protect the similarly guilty
We finally made it in at the set's halfway point, but the low energy thing was still sticking around. I could have played and sung a lot better than I did. But there's always that one show. Shame it had to be this one.
