We're about to go off to rehearsal at the Pavarotti opera house and our first encounter with the raked stage. If I go flying off...well, hopefully there will be video.

Posters for our performance are all over the region, especially Modena and Carpi; Onur and I just had to try that lift once more.

Wifi at the hotel is sketchy, so we're very behind on posting; we'll have to catch up. Sarah and Karin have arrived safely (Wednesday) and we saw 10k lbs of parmesan and 50k gallons of wine in two very small operations (Thursday).

Catch y'all later...
