500回記念ライブ！＼(~o~)／
アツコは熱があるのでサウンドチェックなしで会場へ。ここサンノゼの会場は前回も来た所。ステージで500回目のライブだと言ったら大きな喝采が起きた。すこぶるいい雰囲気の中、アンコール時、チョコバーをお客さんに配った。1000回記念ライブにはまた戻って来たいなど言いつつ…。
翌日サクラメントに移動し、ホテル内のメキシカンレストランで夕食。その後サウンドチェックなしで会場へ。アツコの熱もようやく治まりつつある。が私は何だかお腹が痛い。この前もメキシカン食べた後そうなったんだよな。日本にいるときは何ともないのにな。色々薬を飲んで何とか治ってライブは無事終了。ここの会場は小さくてアットホームな感じが難波の「ベアーズ」を彷彿させた。
そして今日、このツアー最後の長距離移動、サクラメントからポートランドへ。

It’s the 500th anniversary of our live gig the day before yesterday. We went to the venue without our sound check as Atsuko had still fever. We came here previously at the venue in San Jose the last time. Received an ovation from the audience when I told them about the 500th anniversary. We served chocolate bars in an atmosphere of friendliness when we got an encore saying that we want to come back there at the 1000th anniversary gig.
The next day, we moved to Sacramento and had dinner at a Mexican restaurant of a hotel. Went to the venue without our sound check. Atsuko was getting better though I had a stomachache. I had it last time when I had Mexican foods although I’m ok when I had Mexican in Japan. I took many kinds of medicine and got well to finish the gig. This venue reminded me of the Bears, the venue in Nanba Osaka, because it’s small but a homey atmosphere.
And today was the last long-distance moving of this tour from Sacramento to Portland. This picture shows Sean and Robin (from right), our tour crew, who are from Toronto, Canada.
