Show Day, Osaka
Wednesday, March 16, 2005
Up early, it's pouring rain and cold. Walk over to the gig at 10am, work on the wireless network, give up after an hour. Set-up, etc. Have lunch, spaghetti with pesto (no kidding). Soundcheck, dinner, etc.
After dinner, someone turns on the TV in production and we start watching a show about a chimp and an Englsh bulldog. Basically the chimp walks the dog to the store, ties him up outside, goes in and gets some grapes, pays for the grapes with money from a little purse, then walks the dog back home. Very bizarre. One of the Japanese crew says it is a famous show about a monkey and a dog, where they give them tasks to do every week. Crazy!!
Show goes well, after pulling the three kids to jam onstage, the singer gives the guitar to the guitarist (which he does every night), the kid starts crying and falls to the ground bowing. Wild!! Load out is quick as they pretty much do everything for you here, killer!! Walk back to hotel, read a little while, fall asleep. Gotta be in lobby by 6am...
