QUEENSRŸCHE - Geoff Tate Visits China
February 14, 2011, 13 years ago
QUEENSRŸCHE vocalist Geoff Tate checks in with the following update:
"My wife gave me the best birthday present ever this year, a trip to China. So I’m traveling to Beijing, for a week to site see and have a new suit made. Oh yeah, I’ll see the Great Wall, eat Peking Duck and navigate through the streets of the most populated city in the world … but really, the only reason I’m going is for the suit.
I have this friend, Mark, and he’s the other reason why I’m going. One night, over many drinks, this trip was hatched. I probably would have not followed through with the plan and simply forgotten it, or categorized it as a fun topic shared by friends while sitting at the pub, but Mark took it and ran. He not only ran with it, he created the trip of a lifetime. His planned itinerary is a work of art, spanning such diverse experiences as Thai chi at dawn on the rooftop garden of the hotel to fabric shopping in the garment district, several trips to the tailor for fittings, a trip by train to Xian to view the famed Terra Cotta Warriors and a photo session at the Great Wall … and that’s just the first 24 hours! This is going to be fun.
Oh yeah, and it’s snowing there!"
