I set up some where I keep my water - behind some gear. I can step behind it and be invisible to the audience and in the dark, so it's quite a contrast.
I keep an alcoholic beverage visible, but that's for looks. I always have a water or six stashed where I can slip off for a second - usually while pretending to fiddle with some gear - and I've easily got 30 seconds back there before anyone in the audience would give a shit.
So, when we're prepping to play a new song...
Nice! Have you slept?
I got about 2.5 hours of sleep, so I'm good to go. I was pretty generous, so a couple of bandmates and roadies probably didn't sleep. I haven't asked.
How is the weather there tonight? It is raining here, they are expecting thunderstorms and are talking about cancelling the party and having it tomorrow instead, except there are storms predicted for tomorrow night as well LoL
