Members Terry Allan Hall Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 Been invited to perform @ the upcoming Modern Sky Festival 2010, Haidian Park in Beijing, October 1-4! Very tempted, and am looking into the logistics of it all! Guess I need to learn a few useful phrases like "Where's the can, man?", "Thank you, Chicken Kung Pao is my favorite!" and "I never saw that grass before, Officer!"...

Members Etienne Rambert Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 Ah! Yes, ole' Canton..............It is supposed to be a nice city To tell you the truth, it's always a chore to go there. I don't care much for it. In some ways it's like New York City - it's so huge. In other ways, it's like Houston, it's so new. The old part is being paved over & torn down. It's ok for a business trip. But I wouldn't want to live there. I much prefer old Saigon.

Members Etienne Rambert Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 selling guitars? Nope. I think that would be taking coals to Newcastle. I may have to argue with an idiot or two up there though. I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bigald18 Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 I heard the officials were inviting acoustic folk singers to do away with them so they won't write politically corrupting songs about China. Have a great time TAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted June 4, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 Studying the logistics of getting myself, two guitars, and a duffle-bag there and back...hoping to line up about a week or so worth of decent paying gigs prior, and the same after, so I can come back w/ $$$ in my pockets, though. More when I have something more defined worked up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
