Another episode in my relentless plugging of Vienna Teng’s music: she’s playing with Jim and Marika on the Saturday Early Show on CBS in a few hours. She mentioned on the phone that they are playing at around 7AM EST, but the show isn’t broadcast here on the West Coast until 7AM PST.
I just missed her at JFK this afternoon. The flight she and Jim took from Oakland was supposed to get in at 5:25pm; I waited there at gate 16 until 5:35pm, but then had to leave to board my flight at gate 7. Two minutes later, my phone rang. I guess her flight came in just after I left. :) Ah well. I’ll see her soon enough.
Blah blah blah. It’s good to be back in San Francisco.
UPDATE - I found some photos of the show. :) [see the photos]

I never get up this early on a Sat… and voila! Who do I see on TV? Can’t wait until her next album goes on sale in a few days…
I saw it. I can’t believe they cut her off in the middle of “The Tower”. They usually say something like, “Vienna Teng will bring into commercial with ___” but they didn’t. Ah oh well. At least she played 2.5 songs.
you know what’s weird? i’ve found three people in the last few days who link to me at “echeng.com,” but spell my name “eric chang” — just like Tauchen Magazine did.
that’s just weird. i guess i would understand if my domain name was not my actual name, but since they’re the same, why would one be “chang,” and the other, “cheng?” (one of the instances is on shiz’s site).
All hail the power of the great tivo! I was able to catch it as well. Was cool to see everyone doing there thing :) That’s the first time i’ve seen her w/an accompanyment… Just whet my appetite for the concert next weekend - yee har!
Oh, and i’d be remiss if I didn’t thank Mr. Chang for reminding me to tivo it.

E. Chang: one of your long-lost way-distant relatives, perhaps?
uh, well… uhm… maybe typing too fast? :) In my defense, I was aim’ing someone with the last name Chang - it was one of those instances of “rotate your right foot clockwise, and draw a 6 in the air” :p
people naturally go with the what they see the most. here in taiwan, people keep spelling my last name incorrectly. i’ve even had people correct me on the right way to spell my own last name?!
actually, a wrong character is used 90% of the time when people write my Chinese name (for example, the last article in the Pacific Times “misspelled” it). my mother tells me that most people don’t know it, and use the wrong one instead.
