Tips for Responsible Hugging
1. If you're hugging someone else's partner, do not rock them.
2. If the person you're hugging is done, be done also.
3. Shield up psychically to protect yourself from over-hugging.
4. For the non-psychic, you can get a Kevlar bulletproof vest here

Tips for Getting Gig-Ready
1. Experiment with different keys to find the one that's most comfortable and appropriate for each song.
2. Plan out your schedule the day of the gig.  Allow for unexpected delays.  At worst, you'll arrive early.  Nothing wrong with that.
3. When you settle on a new arrangement or learn a new song, take the time to document it.  It'll save you time in the future.
4. Drink a lot of water the day before and day of, to lube up your vocal chords for elasticity, endurance, and strength.
