First gig with Minyo Station at Ford Amphitheater.  Great experience.  Impromptu solo during performance felt like the improv practice is paying off (finally!!).

Back to shamisen pracitce.  Only 7 in schedule before Sensei arrives!  Need to stay on target to memorize and be able to play through the piece (as opposed to getting sucked into looping tiny bits for fundamentals practice).

Toilet practice, two sessions.  Stayed up until 5am last night but feeling surprisingly motivated.  Afternoon lesson got canceled and it reminds me how inspiring it is to have the whole daytime available.

Regular practice, but in meeting room.  I felt pretty unmotivated... due to not being able to move, not having backing music, and the heat, I guess.
