Many, many thanks to all of you who came to the show at the Velour on Wednesday night! It is such a cool venue and I feel lucky to have such fun fans!
Oh, and thanks for smiling through the equipment and acoustic funks we had too – You are all awesome.
In my preparation for the show, I couldn’t help but think about the Olympic games that recently concluded. Performance psychology is generally the same no matter what the realm, so I actually learn a TON by watching the Olympics! The most helpful lesson I learned is that no matter where they were from or what their ranking, I got tense when the athletes seemed racked with fear, and I felt awful when they fell or failed. It hit me that in some out-of-body way, people experience emotions vicariously through others sometimes and when I watched athletes soar through their routines with confidence, peace, focus and excitement, I felt a sense of accomplishment right along with them!
So why couldn’t it be the same for a singer on stage? Perhaps people aren’t scrutinizing us as much as we may assume 
While I’m not an olympian, I feel like one when people who support me are just as happy as I am when I land on my feet and finish with a smile
Thanks, guys! I hope I see you at my next show!
With love,
L.A.
P.S. Here are some photos that were taken that night:

Lindsay, you did beautifully at the Velour! I feel bad the sound equipment wasn’t on your side, but was SO impressed that you kept singing at all when, seriously, I don’t know how I would even heard myself at all if I were you~ I’m excited too see you live again!
