PAUSE
Finally the pause button has been hit on the Asian tour of CATS.
I am in Busan, Korea, to operate the final two shows of this tour that wraps today. Little did Richard and I know or envisage back in March 2007 what CATS would end up becoming for us. It has at times consumed us.
Some of the facts and figures are:
-Over 300 performances
-Three countries. Korea (twice), Thailand, China
-Seventeen cities
-Sixty-four weeks of gigs. Shipping time between counties is extra.
On top of just doing CATS shows nightly:
-We transferred the show from its original HOG2 platform to GrandMA. For 3 weeks we were doing transfer of a day and then operating a show of a night.
-We were contracted to light the NEW Korean version of KATS. Again that meant thinking about 2 things at once !! English CATS and Korean KATS. It also meant that we got to meet David Hersey in New York which was awesome (meeting Mr Pilbrow was very cool too!!).
In summary its’ been great and bigger than what I or we imagined. And the fact that there’s more must mean we are doing it right !!
Until the PLAY button gets hit in April 2009 that’s it for CATS for a while.
Meowwwwwwwww
I’m off to have a cat nap….

^The end of the night...happy punters leaving.
