Professional taiko player = Tetris master?
Being on tour is a lot of packing and unpacking. During this last trip we gradually figured out a way to fit everything and leave the passengers a bit of wiggle room. Here is a montage of our first pack. Hope I remember the final version!
I love this post!
i agree with Ayumi. very informative post!
but, hey: where do the rice cooker, seaweed- bean salad, oreo cookie boxes, and other vegan essentials fit in to this van?
shots of the driver’s compartment could be the subject of future photo essays….
; )
haha! well, fortunately kris is very low-maintenance with his personal hygiene and appearance. a toothbrush, a couple pairs each of shorts and t-shirts and he’s set! along with the rice cooker and other food, he only has one small suitcase… although the last x-country tour, he did have a giant gallon GLASS jug of maple syrup…
on the other side, i’m the high-maintenance guy who likes to style his hair and has contacts and glasses since i was doomed from when i was born with my both parents being blind. but i don’t bring any food which is probably why i gain weight on tours… eating all the crap food…
shoj is the best. very low-maintenance, but he’s always gotta have his coffee. always have to stop at the coffee shop to get the caffeine buzz and a happy shoj. =)
ooh, i remember the Gargantuan Glass Maple Syrup Jug from Vermont.
is it all done, i wonder??
and did he share any of it at all???
I’m not sharing one drop! We have about 2/3 jar left. With Hiro using it for all sweetening (she doesn’t use refined sugar), it looks like a gallon lasts us about a year. :)
Kris- you want i bring a maple tree down with me to LA for you and Hiro!?
make your own syrup!
; )
or maybe you can run a tap from montreal straight into Kris’ water tap in torrance.
hhm….yeah…. a new North American Pipeline!
Fabulous idea!!
can you pipe up some wine in exchange???
