perfection in a museum ($5+ post) (Patreon)

just for y'all

....backstage on the floor 20 minutes before i went onstage to 1,000 people at the national gallery of victoria in melbourne. it was a sublime gig. david hockney exhibit and music and frolicking. 

i love you. 

for context :

i also just posted this on instagram, with a picture of us out in public  in the hall...

an hour before i took stage at the national gallery in melbourne today, a stranger offered to take this photo of me and ash and neil in front of david hockney's beautiful UK landscape. we aren't going to see each other for a month starting tomorrow. neil is going off to the UK and then on tour in the US  and i'm continuing on tour in oz and beyond without him, then going to lesbos to volunteer and paris for a lesbian wedding (like you must). it may not seem like a long time, but with the baby, it seems like an eternity. it's hard. when ash said "dada" tonight i found myself thinking: i won't be able to explain. neil is always homesick for england, i'm always caught between being homesick for america and australia, and ash is about to be homesick for his father (and his father for him) in a way he won't be able to articulate. but for one moment, in this museum, it felt like everything was just perfect. (also, the gig was phenomenal. thank you to everyone who came. the patreon info is in the bio.) australia ... i don't want to leave you. it's all been sublime. 😢
