\nThe truck carrying the lighting equipment, PA speakers, and other gear was running late that day, so nothing had been set up yet when we arrived at the venue. Apparently, it was originally scheduled to arrive the previous night. I only learned today that they were transporting the lighting equipment as well.<\/p>\n

\nThe equipment truck has arrived, and setup is underway. Even when running behind schedule, the Americans don’t seem to panic or get flustered. They appear to be working in a surprisingly relaxed manner. In a way, that might be a good thing. Looks a bit slow but setup is proceeding steadily.<\/p>\n

\nAfter the show, while I was in the dressing room, Cecilia who is a backing vocalist, dancer, and percussionist for Men At Work, as well as Colin\u2019s wife, came over and said, “Look at my T-shirt today! It’s Shonen Knife!” She then showed off a shirt featuring a cat holding a sword in its mouth. Cecilia is such a friendly and cheerful person; I really appreciate how she always strikes up a conversation with me. I hear that, in addition to her work with Men At Work, she also performs with her own band, Cecilia No\u00ebl and the Wild Clams.<\/p>\n
