Today was a GREAT day at Sha Tin Town Hall. This is a beautiful theatre; we performed here last time we were in Hong Kong. We had a few challenges throughout the day (like fire and sparks shooting out of the sound console!), mostly with our power converters. For some reason, they just didn’t want to work here…but then we remembered that we had this problem last time. So, the venue brought out their converters and everything was great.
Lunch was very good and so was dinner! We’ve been enjoying the food of this culture rather than a trip to McDonald’s everyday. Some of it is very good – other things, not so good. I even ate some chicken feet and squid!
The audience was AMAZING! We had some fun volunteers and, in spite of the delay of translation, the audience laughed and applauded every illusion. I can’t even begin to tell you how that makes us feel. The show ran so smoothly tonight too. Everyone worked very hard and our team has fallen into the rhythm of working together. And the show looked really awesome – the lighting in this venue was very good and the show had that “rock and roll” feel that we love to make happen.
Katy came over and spent the day with us helping to set up. She worked with us so closely last time we were here so she was very helpful today. We’ll see her again tomorrow at Hong Kong City Hall Concert Hall. That will be our last show before we fly to Taipei.
I did an interview yesterday for the TAIPEI TIMES that will run on Friday. You can read it online at www.TaipeiTimes.com. I’m off to bed!
