Tour Diary South America 2 - Sweet Santiago

Hi all!

After my long but very nice travel, I arrived in beautiful Santiago. It was great to meet Danny again, as we didn’t see each other for quite some months. And with a big hug, our ‘Annie and Danny band’ was officially in function.

Our lovely Chilean assistant Daniela made sure I had some time to rest before we did the interviews, the radio gig and the meet and greet with our lovely Chilean friends. So I started my day relatively fresh. First up, the radio show at Radio Futura. Danny and I were asked to play a couple of songs and do an interview. When we arrived there was already a group of fans waiting at the gate. They were just so nice, we invited them in to join us for the acoustic session. A lovely experience indeed. In fact, every ten minutes I am here, I realize I am just blessed with all these nice people around me. Needless to say I am looking forward very much to the gig tonight.

Back at the hotel we had some more interviews and met with the winners of the meet and greet contest. Spontaneous as we were, we called out: „Let’s play a nice song for you to end the day!” „Yes!” Everybody called back at us. While I smiled and walked to the door to get our guitars I wondered where they actually were… Well, they were still sitting in the van which drove off again after dropping us off from the radio show. Eh… Not a very smart move but I shamelessly blame it all on my jetlag. I wish I could do that in daily life back home as well but people just don’t buy that story haha! Oh well, luckily Daniela saved the day once more and called the driver who returned immediately with our gear. The peeps of the meet and greet were already gone home, Danny and I had a great dinner, and whilst having a cup of Manzanilla tea after, I was getting very drowsy and decided to go to sleep like a responsable young woman.

Okay Annie, up, shower, breakfast, soundcheck and off we go tonight!
See you there! X An
