meeting place


The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). Not to be confused with the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC- the official name of the Twin Towers.) The irony is that both are within walking distance of each other. So, if you're in a taxi and tell the cabby you need to get to KLCC, you better make clear which you're heading to. The convention centre is now a year old. When it first opened last year, it did so without the Certificates of Fitness approved. Rushed opened to recover the money spent. I remember doing a show there then. While we were rehearsing, one of the hooks of the 1-ton lighting truss above us cracked. Scary. I did another show there last weekend and all is good now. It's an impressive place but with most Malaysian buildings, the plans weren't carefully thought out. This is a convention centre with parking bays for only 600+ cars and only has one road leading to it's entrance.

Like minitebera, would love to see your show someday :)

Is KLCC (Twin tower) fully 100% occupied? do we need another building for this?

Well the building is pretty even it the logistics getting there are not! Here in San Diego, I feel that way about transportation in general - What were they thinking?!
