Here we are at day 2 performing solo fiery rumba flamenco guitar for the Vancouver Playhouse Wine Festival.
Today will be much easier as my performance is in one location and only for an hour. My performance will be at the Vancouver Convention Centre East and will begin at 3:30 pm until 4:30 pm.
I’ll leave my place in Langley at 1 pm to give me lots of time. I’m planing to arrive no later that 2:30 pm to get set up.
Traffic was light so I arrived at the venue at 2 pm. We have two Vancouver Convention Center’s, so we now define them as East and West. Today I’m playing guitar in the East building. (Room 11)
Sometimes arriving well ahead of schedule buys you a little R&R time which is the case today as there is still an event taking place in the room that I’ll be performing in.
Today was the most perfect day to step outside the Convention Center doors to smell the fresh air and look out at our very beautiful Vancouver harbor.
So it looks like the meeting will continue right until my start time. I’ll set up my sound system outside the room then quietly enter the room, sneak the system in, plug in and play.
At 3:30 pm I was all set up and ready to perform however the meeting continued to go on until 4:05 pm. It was very interesting to hang out and listen in. I now know a lot more about wines than I did 30 minutes ago. It’s all very interesting!
I began my performance at 4:05 pm and by 4:30 everyone had left and it was time to pack up to head home. Once I arrived home it was time for a quick dinner then we’re rehearsing for the tour tomorrow.
Check back in tomorrow to follow me around British Colombia as I travel with my trio for performances in Kelowna, Penticton and Ashcroft.
Stay tuned…
