July 16, 2002 – Royal Oak, Michigan and RESONANCE!
***Originally published as “J.Lynn’s Tour Diary” on Mad at Gravity’s Official Site.***
-Our album came out today! And I’m sick! This always happens to me.
For some reason, I always end up under the weather for all the major
moments of my life. Birthdays, Christmas, you name it… I’m the one
with the clogged sinuses. Oh, well. It’s probably good for me in a
way. It reminds me that no matter how much happens that’s larger than
life, I’m still a small little human who can be ruined by things like
pollen and lack of sleep. But if the swelling of my tonsils at key
moments keeps the rest of my head from getting too big in the long run,
I’m all for it.
-Needless to say, my illness made the show a bit rough, but by the time
we hit the third song the adrenaline had taken over. I was sweating
like Niagara, but my voice held up. I’m sure I’ll be paying for it
tomorrow, though. We finished the set, hung out for a bit to chat with
fans, and now have an overnight drive back to West Virginia for another
Locobazooka show tomorrow at noon. That’s when my voice will be feeling
it, for sure. Anyway, I’m going to bed! I’ve got to do my part to get better!
Love and 24-hour pharmacies,
