1. I recently started a gig in a small town near(ish) Leipzig, Germany. Really, this town is about two hours from everywhere, deep in the heart of what used to be East Germany.
Rehearsals began on a Wednesday. Thankfully, I wasn’t called for the Saturday rehearsal, so I took that opportunity to head back to my home in Berlin for the weekend.
My friend joked about how sad I had been to leave her and Berlin for the six week rehearsal period before coming back home only hours later. For her, the two days seemed a few hours.
