9月2６日（金）Otto Bar, ボルチモア　MD
Friday, September 26th Otto Bar Baltimore, MD

10時半にホテルを出ていったんボルチモアのホテルに行く予定が、渋滞のため会場に直入り。こちら会場のOtto Bar。２０１８年にもライブをしました。
I left the hotel at 10:30 and had planned to go to a hotel in Baltimore, but due to traffic congestion I went straight to the venue. This is the venue, Otto Bar, where I also played in 2018.

途中のサービスエリアで。

On the way to Baltimore at a driver’s cafe.

豚の皮のスナック！

Pork skin!

サウンドチェックの後、晩御飯を買いに外へ行きました。前回、前々回食べた中華料理店はなくなっていましたが、おおきなフードコートが近所にできていました。
After soundcheck, I went out to buy dinner. The Chinese restaurant I had eaten at the previous two times was gone, but a large food court had opened nearby.

タコスを２個買って楽屋に持ち帰り食べました。チキンタコスが特に美味しかったです。
I bought two tacos and took them back to my dressing room to eat. The chicken tacos were especially delicious.

バクラバも食べました。甘っ！

I also got Baklava. So sweet!

楽屋でアルバムにサインを入れたり、メールインタビューの返事を書いたり、ブログの下書きをしていたらあっという間に本番。
I was signing albums, writing responses to email interviews, and drafting my blog posts in my dressing room, and before I knew it, it was time for our show time!

おしゃれなアメリカ盤Vinyl.

Our U.S. version of Our Best Place is clear vinyl.

会場は超満員！ステージの横やバルコニー席もパンパンに埋まっています。ひょっとしてこれSOLD OUTじゃないのかな。大熱狂のうちにライブが終わりました。たくさんのご来場に感謝申し上げます。こんなに暑いんだったらステージに扇風機をセットしとくんだった！
The venue was packed! The seats next to the stage and in the balcony were also filled completely with audience. Maybe this was a SOLD OUT. The concert ended in a frenzy. We’d like to thank everyone who came. I didn’t know it was going to be so hot, I should have set up fans on the stage!

ホテルに帰り就寝。
We went back to the hotel and went to bed.
