              the Notes area for each slide.

            up to the night before.

            Have something small to eat, not a full [meal]
            or anything heavy. If you’re going to have
            coffee, do it well before you have to be on
            stage.

            I always go pee when they call “five minutes
            to places”. I’m not sure how I started that
            habit, but it seems to relax me.

               It seems like there’s some sort of inverse
               formula stating the harder you are about to
               rock, the more silent you will become
               beforehand. Before the biggest solo show I
               ever played, I fell asleep under a card table.

             I try to do some [content] I am most
             comfortable with in the beginning because I
             know that if/when those go well, I will
             become more relaxed.
