It's been about three years since I had been in Macedonia. This time, Ientered into Greece from Thessaloniki by car. I spent the first night in Athens and flew to Thessaloniki the next day, but unfortunately my record box didn't get there in time. They told me it would be there around midnight. Since there was nothing I could do about it, I got into the car with the guys from Wizzy Noize whom I was going to play with that night and rested at their house. I swung back to the airport to pick up my record box, but still no luck. It takes three and half hours to reach Scopie and my state of mind was pretty much on the edge. If I couldn't pick up my records, the gig in Macedonia that night would naturally be cancelled. Despite all the suspense, it finally got there and I hurried to Scopie. We crossed the border en route and it was already three-thirty at in the morning when I arrived the venue. There were rumours flying, "Maybe Tsuyoshi isn't going to show up", and Daniel the organizer was very anxious as well. I was physically tired and worn out by the time I crawled behind the DJ booth, but thanks to the great blessings and cheers (happy that I came) from the audience, Imanaged to go for it for two and half hours. Anyhow, it's a good thing it ended without much trouble. There were lots of stories behind this one. Thank you everyone in Scopie!! I'll be back again.
