I’m about to be a part of something really cool. Next month, I’m going to New York with Xander and Ben for a sort of tour 2.0-type thing. We’re calling it Man (hat on). There’s even a logo (and the likelihood of t-shirts). No, I’m not a musician. My misguided adolescent foray into the world of string instruments is likely as far as I’ll ever go, musically. But it doesn’t matter. Because—although there will be music involved (provided mainly by Ben, obviously), this is really a tour about freedom, and doing what you like, and creating things.

We’re playing with this idea of “sustainable creativity”, you see. It’s about using communities and ideas to sustain yourself, so that you’re able to do what you love doing. It’s simple, on paper: if you’re a writer, you find a way to write. If you’re a musician, you find the support you need to play gigs and write songs. If you’re someone without a clearly defined path, someone who just likes to play with ideas—it means finding a way to do that.
