Tuesday Start to FAWM - Boo!
-
@odilongreen Jan 2022
The calendar is what it is, but at least for me with my work schedule (more or less M-F), it stinks that FAWM is starting on a Tuesday. Friday or Saturday is of course ideal, Thursday is OK too. But a Tuesday just doesn't seem very festive. Plus, a mid-week start means that it'll be hard to get that oh-so-important first track done right away, given my limited free time at night.
But I guess I just have to stop whining, push through the mid-week blahs and do what needs to be done! -

Every FAWM has its own rhythm, doesn't it? Some of them allow you to get out of the blocks quickly, others allow you to finish strong. This one will be slim pickings for some of us for the first few days, but so it goes. We'll find a way to make it work.

Not complaining too much as it gave me a good excuse to take a couple of days off work! But it's true that Tuesday does feel like an odd day to start. Who has ever felt creative on a Tuesday?

Tuesday is my least favorite day for anything - lol!

I'm taking the whole week off from work, so I'm planning to use Monday for last minute errands: planning out the challenges I want to do, charging battery packs and buying batteries, last touches on my DAW template.

I'm retired, so every day seems like the same day to me.

My band are coming round Tuesday night, so we'll have *something* by end of play on day 1. I actually work most weekends so this start day is kind of a result for me.

@gomjabbar Jan 2022
Tuesday is the best possible day for me to start bc that's my first day off of the week .

I’m working, then taking my eldest to his first ever band practice in the evening, so out of action from 9am til 9pm on Tues 1st - D’oh!

@odilongreen Jan 2022
I think it's clear there is only one reasonable solution: the first two days of FAWM should be declared an official holiday in every nation on Earth, so everyone can devote a chunk of time to making music at the launch.

@odilongreen - Here, here!

@mardeycranbleson Jan 2022
I kind of like it I can take a day off and get some music in with no one around (too much)

@metalfoot Jan 2022
Tuesday start is nice insofar as you can SuperSkirmish the first weekend without too many people being angry ;)

@cblack Jan 2022
@odilongreen but if Feb 1st was a holiday, we'd have to deal with the rest of the house being home...
-
@dzdandcunfsd Jan 2022
@metalfoot that was my first thought when I saw this thread as well!
-
@odilongreen Jan 2022
@cblack Maybe we can invent a new category of “restricted use” holidays, where only self-sufficient adults (or older children) who agree to use the day for music-making, and to stay out of the way of other music-makers in their household, get the day off.

@auditasum Jan 2022
I'm taking the day off! And Wednesday is my regular day off so I'll have a nice little start

As a self employed medieval minstrel in pandemic times there is no medieval fair or feast on a Tuesday, so a nice start for me.

A full day at work for me tomorrow as well. So best hope is very early or later. I will be taking intermittent time off as workload allows throughout February.

It is 7.00 am in Germany and I stsrt in a usually working day. My FAWM is gonna start in the evening.
Any day is a good day to start FAWM - the important thing is, that it starts!
Have fun, folks! -
@b3nut Jan 2022
And mine won't start until 1/2...1/1 is full of the soul-sucking day gig and then a rehearsal. I'll try to sketch something when the boss isn't working...and while I'm home letting dogs out before heading to rehearsal...uff. Los geht's... ;)

The Boomtown Rats..wrote a song 'I don't like Mondays'...this could be the chance to write a song about why Tuesday is a crappy day to start FAWM...but
It will a different day next year.
