Konichiwa!!
Just got back to the hotel from the first rehearsal… all in all, we have a LOT of work to do! HAHA.
They gave us 6 new songs today that we didn’t know we’d be singing on… so that brings the total number of songs to know for this leg of the tour to a whopping 24! Wish us luck!! 
I took a quick video of the three of us BVs sitting in the lounge trying to hack through a few of the new songs.. learning the japanese and organizing our parts.. pretty hilarious to see a Virginian and 2 Argentinians trying to get the pronunciations sorted out! HAHA
I absolutely love working with this group of people.. everyone is so nice and understanding.. and SO professional! It never feels like work… just when we start to get annoyed or frustrated, we take a break, make a few jokes and then we’re back in the saddle to finish out strong.
Today was hard as far as the jet lag thing goes… I think by 3:30pm I could have crawled in the corner of the studio and slept on the wood floor and wouldn’t have even noticed the side fills booming!! HAHA, so I’ve been fighting it hard for the past few hours… and I will continue to fight it tonight for a few more just so that I can get a few more songs under my belt before bed time and then maybe I won’t wake up at 3am wide eyed and bushy tailed.
The weather is amazing right now here.. today was one of those perfect fall days where the wind is blowing just enough to keep you cool without freezing you! The weather here feels like the falls in Virginia or NYC and I love it… That’s one thing I didn’t realize would make me so excited… I miss the seasons a lot, and this tour’s timing is just perfect… I’ll be coming into my favorite holidays (Thanksgiving, my bday, and Christmas) with the chilly weather, and then as soon as New Year’s is over, it’ll be back to Sunny SoCal! PERFECT.
I think that’s about all I know for today… we recorded 3 of the songs today already, getting up early and going to the studio to record a few more tomorrow before the first show run through with Boss… It’s going to be a long few days of learning, recording, rehearsing, and memorizing all of these songs… but I’m up for the challenge.. so happy to be able to do what I do.. Kind of had one of those “moments” today… just excited to be a part of something that I love and to be able to make it a career is getting more and more exciting. I miss everyone back home, though. So thankful for skype, ichat, facebook, and blogs!!! Makes me feel so much closer!
OK, enjoy the video and then I am gonna post a few pics that we took today in rehearsal too…
