once again, i woke up much earlier than i wanted to. but it was good because i had to pack and check out of the hotel since i was going to stay w/ my cousin and his family tonight. he lives about 45 minutes outside of the city in san mateo. he used to work for george lucas at skywalker ranch on the star wars series (episodes 1-3) as a computer graphics artist. he has moved on since then and has most recently done work on "x-men 3", the upcoming transformers movie as well as "speed racer" (coming out in 2008). he gets to work w/ people like steven spielberg and the wachowski brothers. pretty cool.
anyway, he picked me up this morning and we went to church together in san jose. he and his wife came to the concert tonight so on the way, we had to drop off his daughters at the babysitters. if you haven't already noticed, they are the cutest girls. davies hall was nice but the stage was a bit cramped in the tchaikovsky. it was another packed house and the energy coming from the audience was pretty electrifying. it's always nice to be able to perform for family and friends. our next concert in l.a. is going to be filled w/ relatives. my wife and i have a ton of family there. one of her uncles there is a pastor and his whole church is coming!
we finally have a whole day off and i will be going to l.a. (while many are staying in san francisco) so i'm looking forward to spending time w/ my grandfather, aunt and her family. oh, and did i mention l.a. has the best korean food?

Daniel... Lauren Henry and I are avid readers of this blog, and we are fans of yours in particular. is it because you talk about the concert halls? no. is it because you talk about the music? no. it is because you blog about your meals. we <3 food. i hope you have a big bowl of jjajangmyun and maybe some sushi too - and hope you and the other musicians are having a great time!
LA Galbee is the best. Btw, I loved the Brahms no.1 in Philly!
