Tomorrow, February 17th (Saturday), I need to take the day off due to some unavoidable circumstances.
I apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
Normally we don't have regular concerts on Saturdays,
but usually we open at 6 PM and start at 7 PM.
Tomorrow they're doing an opera-format program,
so if we started at 7 PM it would end around 11 PM,
so instead we're opening at 2 PM and starting at 3 PM.
Apparently the only day the hall had availability in that time slot
was Saturday.
I was planning to open instead on the final Saturday next week,
but something came up that day too, so that won't work.
The Osaka Symphony Orchestra is one of
four orchestras in Osaka,
and the other day after stopping by the distributor
that's the only one in Japan handling Pinarello,
I got a call from a landline with a number very similar to that distributor's.
I couldn't pick up right away, so I searched the number online
instead of calling back, wondering if it was maybe
a dedicated outgoing line separate from the distributor's
publicly listed numbers.
Turns out it was the (publicly listed) phone number
of another orchestra in Osaka,
the Japan Century Symphony Orchestra.
They probably saw in this blog where I wrote "Tomorrow I'm going to the Osaka Symphony Orchestra's ~"
and called thinking I might donate.
Let me be clear though—I don't have that kind of spare cash.

Adding a note about the new Bora WTO series

The other day I wrote an article about the new Bora WTO and Bora Ultra WTO
(→here),
and in it I wrote that the recommended tire width is 28–35C with
28C as the lower limit.
That info itself comes from what the distributor published,
and the source is definitely from the manufacturer's announcement,
but when I spoke on the phone today with someone from the distributor
who knows Campagnolo better than anyone in Japan, they told me that 28C
is the "recommended" width, but technically
the lower limit is 25C and the upper limit goes up to 45C.
I promised to add a correction/clarification here, so I've added this note.
Yeah, I see you watching~ ☆
