I’m not feeling well today. Not sure if it’s a cold or flu.

Woke up to hear Elliot laughing as he and Boba were in the living room. Boba got me some coffee and bone broth, and he and Elliot talked to me (at a distance, because Elliot said Boba told him he doesn’t want him sick) before Boba made sure I was comfy back in bed.

So here I am under the covers, my floor fan on, and listening to the two of them playing board games. (I think it’s Monopoly. That’s become one of their favorites, and Boba appreciates it for helping Elliot learn about investing and saving money.)

Boba is so good to us.

Now to rest, and get caught up on some asks and reblog chains.

Hiya, just read this about Lorde & cancelling tours. Seems like it’s more common than I thought?

https://www.nme.com/news/music/lorde-addresses-economic-realities-of-touring-things-are-at-an-almost-unprecedented-level-of-difficulty-3347062

Oh, that’s such an interesting article. Thank you so much for sending it. It does a really good job of laying out the myriad complication involved in staging a tour these days.

“Basically, for artists, promoters and crews, things are at an almost unprecedented level of difficulty,” Lorde wrote in her letter, citing factors like “three years’ worth of shows” occurring simultaneously, global economic downturn, and concertgoers’ “totally understandable wariness” around health risks.

She went on to acknowledge logistical factors such as widespread crew shortages, linking to an article from New Zealand news outlet Stuff about the issue. “Extremely overbooked trucks and tour buses and venues, inflated flight and accommodation costs, ongoing general COVID costs, and truly mindboggling freight costs” were also listed as factors.

“To freight a stage set across the world can cost up to three times the pre-pandemic price right now. I don’t know shit about money, but I know enough to understand that no industry has a profit margin that high,” Lorde continued.

“Ticket prices would have to increase to start accommodating even a little of this, but absolutely no one wants to charge their harried and extremely-compassionate-and-flexible audience any more fucking money.

“Nearly every tour has been besieged with cancellations and postponements and promises and letdowns, and audiences have shown such understanding and such faith, that between that and the post-COVID wariness about getting out there at all, scaring people away by charging the true cost ain’t an option. All we want to do is play for you.”

Lorde went on to say that she’s lucky because profits being down across the board doesn’t pose an issue for an artist of her stature, but touring has become a “demented struggle to break even or face debt” for artists selling less tickets than her – which in some cases, can make touring prohibitive altogether.

[…]

She continued: “I wanted to put all of this in your minds to illustrate that nothing’s simple when it comes to touring at the moment, and if your faves are confusing you with their erratic moves, some of this could be playing a part.”

No one:

The knights: Hm...this guy looks like a wanted treasure hoarder!

Also the knights: But I'm gonna let 'em in anyway since we will rely on Jean about the matter so nothing's gonna happen!

The knights: Genius idea! What could probably go wrong?

Everything, bitch. You're gonna be robbed the next day!

Not on Diluc's watch. Especially since you know Angel's share is one of the first places, treasure hoarders like to hit. Because it's so popular, and at the very least, they will be able to steal some dandelion wine that can be sold back at a reasonable price. Diluc is highly annoyed by this. It is not for losing profits but because it inconveniences his customers and ruins his whole shipment schedule.

And anytime it happens, Kaeya is the first one to hear about it. Because it's not often Diluc gets to tease Kaeya. So what he does is complain nonstop about the knights and the burglary, and Kaeya can't drink in peace. Hence, Kaeya gets around to finding the robber and the merchandise only to have the darknight hero already take care of the problem.

They wasted some of Diluc's time so he's wasting some of theirs.

And now Kaeya has to drink with smug side glances from Diluc.
