So at the end of Goths tour or the second leg of it I guess where we ended it I think we ended both of the the final night of Goths tour was Austin Sea Limits and the final night of the

Jason Isbell leg was also Austin Sea Limits.

And it was the last night, we all stayed up late and party.

And I have these clothes, you know, you spend a bit of money on to look okay on stage.

And the older you get get the more you want to

focus on the clothes. Like you no longer have that bratch young body to put up there in a

t-shirt and so I got like an hour and a half of sleep before flying home because I don't allow myself

the extra day to recuperate that I would have before I was a parent.

And I left all my clothes somewhere, right?

These are tailored clothes.

They have a monogram. It's a

J. S. D. on the cuffs except for the ones that said goth.

And those are all gone. So that happened then.

Now I'm on book tour by myself, right? And I flew to Tulsa, got my rental car, I was about to leave

the parking garage and I was like, wear your clothes, dirt baggage claim. You were waiting

for your bag and I had to park and go back and get them but I did get him and I have not lost those clothes yet.
