Illinois is my Bermuda

Painting two layers of bright shiney colour onto the unit and making calls to some of the performers have been todays activities for me. Illinois has turned into my timezone Bermuda triangle... why is it so hard? amazing... thankfully Sid and one of his bandmates who are performing from Evanston, has spotted the mixups and sorted us out with politic use of an online meeting planner. phew.

Thanks to all those patient souls today who put up with my attempts at French communication... Frenchifying English and Spanish words, pretty dire. Thankfully on Saturday we are being joined by both French and Russian speakers.

Today Cat, Chris and Greg all arrived in Stavanger. Tomorrow Bert arrives and the crew is complete. Tomorrow is a very busy day for us. Greg will be up at the crack of dawn to get this show technically on the road - telecoms, streaming and webcam all up and running. The rest of us will be working on the installation of the unit in the venue and more performer liaison.

Here are two message boards I spotted today (a rainy day indeed). One at the bus station and the other at the airport. They are advertising the DIAL-A-DIVA freephone number here in Norway.
