Imagination is more important than knowledge said Einstein and we like to think that is true. At least in this group.

After some hasty and nasty packing in KL we made it to the airport on time and got all our very colourful bags checked in. The goodbyes were tearful but the hope for a return to Malaysia kept us going. Maybe next year again!

Passport - check.

The flight to Raleigh via Tokio and Dallas went fine except that the sleeping schedule Linda had made  wasn´t really working as we hoped. The timezone changes and the 48 hour without sleep didn´t exactly made us into the sharpest tools in the box.

The SoJam people thought it was a good idea to have us do an interview early next morning. We probably didn´t answer a single question without offending someone unintentionally. But Mark and Dwayne (who by the way had the pleasure of driving us around and only tried to kill me once, unintentionally he claims) still seemed happy with us. Or maybe they smile out of horror.

At the cheesecake factory in the Crab tree mall where a small salad is the size of Helsinki. Here we did some shopping, shoes and other necessities.

I don´t know how it happened but all of a sudden we were in a picture with the fire department of the City of Raleigh. Who was on fire and why? Or why not?

Then it was workshop time. Anna and me in I am woman - class. Yes I am. The topics we discussed were:
belting - we were like uhh well we just sing and if you need to sing higher you just sing a bit higher.
how to tour with men - we were like uh, well it´s nice.
how you take care of your voice - we were like uh, well, never thought of that before. Should we?
clothes on stage - uh, well, you need to know how to wear them.

Soundchecking. Anna, Kasper and Richard Gardner.

Minutes before entering the stage. Anna is still working on her Gangnam style.
We had so much fun during the concert, the audience was wild and crazy and the energy level was extremely high!  Thank you SoJam!

The day after. Bill Hare is taking the Finns out for a beer. Then back to the hotel, once again packing our bags and off to Helsinki.
We have had a very good four weeks on the road, met so many nice people, had such warm audiences and had quite a few good laughs. Now, once the jet lag is tackled, the preparations for our upcoming premiere on ElectroVocal Circus begins.

It´s good to be home.

In many ways but one...
