Blargh...sick...blarghh.

I'm sick. Standing out in the cold for 40 mins. on Sunday afternoon waiting to get backstage at the Gwinnett Center Arena (horribly huge place BTW) to interview Silverchair was the culprit. I thought I would be going through the front of the building for this, so I left my jacket in the car, because carrying that thing around inside for hours usually sucks. I didn't realize that I would have to walk all the way around the building (a horribly huge place, like I said) and then wait 40 mins. for their tour manager to meet up with me (not his fault) and let me in (it was 30 degrees outside, also not his fault). By the time I got inside, I was feelin' pretty crappy. On top of all that, I didn't get the photo pass I was told I'd get. All in all, doing press for bands that play venues of that size kinda sucks. It's all too convoluted and painfully complicated. Oh well, back to the sick part. I'm gonna try and do some posts tonight, but no promises. I feel fucking crappy.
