I am so torn on this. Yes, I really want to see Psycho. But also I want to see it at its best so I’m glad there aren’t performances. I want RV to do well and I love love love them but I’d like the members to get some time to come to terms with what happened and not develop anxiety or anything. I’m sure they’d also like to spend time with Wendy. So I almost wish they’d just take a breather until the new year.
I don’t know. This whole thing just sucks so hard. Fuck you SBS.
