Takao’s journal in Chicago: Day 1 (May 15)
Time flies, it’s been a week already since i arrived in Chicago on Thursday last week, May 15. The week has been busy but good, i have been enjoying so much although there isn’t much time for anything but preparing for the performance, but that’s what artists do, i guess, and i like it. There is nothing like when you get all ready and start the show.
So, here is my week.
Day 1: Arrived at O’Hare at 3pm. Miho the Producer awaited me at the hotel at 4pm with a bouque of red roses! She had me over her place for dinner, i was really happy to see Ann and their daughter Mei-Mei. There were Chi Jang and Akiyoshi-san for the dinner. We had a very good talk about the project. i explained my basic idea for the show, which, to my surprise, sounded brilliant. Soon i was falling asleep at the table… Here we go, the jet lag was setting in. i borrowed Gu’s bicycle and went back to the hotel. It was around midnight when i went to bed.
