It's been over half a year since I started playing #risingstartgame, and already for a while, I've been stuck on the local gig circuit island. To move to the next level, one would need a level of at least 75 to unlock the band audition. 

To maximize my progress on the level-ladder, I've been doing a lot of music lessons. These provide one of the higher XP levels per energy/time as far as I can see.

I'm currently at level 71, so only four more to go before I can start doing auditions. I expect to go through these levels in the next week or two. That is if I can consistently keep playing the game. 

I also consistently played the million-dollar mission to obtain more fans and gain some starbits. You can see below that my ego level is at zero. This is primarily due to the regular amount of lessons I do.

I'm really excited about unlocking the audition mission. Mostly due to curiosity! For now, I just have to stick with it and keep rockin'!
