Germany and Finland... August 2009"
Day 2
Time this
morning to get organised and see what I had forgotten and left at home (there´s
always something).
Julia picked
me up at exactly 10:40 and we went to SWR1, the biggest radio station in the
region. The interview was good and it was recorded for broadcast at prime time
today. SWR1 is an organisation I know well and they are great supporters of the
local music scene.
Our cars are
all being supplied by the biggest of the AUDI dealers in the area so I enjoyed
being ferried around in a Q7, a car the "tree-huggers" love to hate!
Julia took me
to Königstrasse (King Street) so I could buy the little things I needed (hair
brush, batteries, guitar strap etc.) and then I went back to the hotel to
prepare for my meeting with IBM and the people from the World Creativity Forum
which I will be a part of in December.
All of this
went very well and I am really looking forward to this challenging event. Among
other things I get to sit on a discussion panel with Professor Brandenburg, the
gentleman who invented the mp3 file format and who, some say, saved Apple in the
process!
Met the
guys from the band who had already arrived and then I had to leave for dinner
with my hosts from IBM. All in all a good, busy, productive and tiring day.
