This week we’re keeping it light with a grab bag of hot takes straight from our Slack channel — because holiday gigs are frying our brains and y’all deserve something snackable.

We’re talking:
•Ray-Ban Meta's - new gig essential?
• Is “Freebird” the new Rickroll?
• How much time should really be between soundcheck and downbeat (spoiler: it’s not 30 minutes, Kevin).
• Why the best critique comes wrapped in a compliment sandwich.
• And a little love for our global Slack fam (what up, Australia 👋).

So yeah, we’re vibing on the little stuff this week — the kind of stuff that keeps you sane when you’re hauling gear in +80-degree heat while wearing tank tops you definitely don’t wanna perform in.

Join us as we shout out the community, talk gig life, and maybe convince you that “Freebird” deserves a second chance (kinda).
