Turin–> Holiday

Turin is done. Guess how well the Italians were able to stick to the cuelist? Not so well. And of course Marco Melchior, my Italian contact, friend and the PM of the event, said couple of times: This is the cuelist and we follow it so go ahead and program a cuelist. Sometimes during the show no one knew what’s happening and it didn’t help that I don’t speak Italian.

When working on a single cuelist you prepare the console little different from working live… Still, I survived and there were not too much stuff in the programmer at the same time. It actually looked pretty good at some points but I don’t have photos of those moments because those were the rock parts and I had my fingers on flash buttons ; )

While we had bad luck with the weather (well not actually that bad since it didn’t rain during the show), I had really good luck in taxi on my way to the airport. There was cash dispenser next to my hotel but I was too tired to get cash for the taxi when heading back to the hotel after the show around 01:30 a.m. So I decided to grab some cash in the morning when my taxi arrives at 05:00 a.m. Of course the machine didn’t work and the taxi does not take cards in Italy. I sit in the cab and the driver does not speak English (surprise). As we head to the airport I think that there must be a dispenser at the airport. For some reason I start to count my coins on the way to the airport. Combined with the few bills I my wallet I had 37€. Te taxi cost 36.70€ and there were no cash dispensers at the airport!

This is it for the season. I’m off for holiday until the beginning of August. Then it’s coming up: Norrdans, Sweden
