I got 10 large things listed last night, so that's good. For some reason sales seem to be slow, although our numbers are looking better.
I did a little practice before bed, not very much. Maybe I'm tired from my busking session still. My sound was decent though.
I told Tom by email about my busking session and he said maybe I ought to start a blog. That's a pretty good idea and I'll have to seriously consider it.
I also ordered three shakuhachi bags from Mejiro in Japan and I'm thinking now, I put in my credit card number but not the little 3-digit number on the back. Hopefully they'll get back with me if that's needed. The order means I now have a Mejiro username and password I can log in with.
I packed all the things that needed to go, and got out of here at 4:30. Got rid of everything and stopped in at H Mart for another bottle of makgeolli, found some useful boxes on my way back, and stopped in at Tom's because I usually hang out with him on Mondays bit I'd skipped it last night.
Tom and I ended up drinking beer for a few hours, having his Siri play all kinds of music. He tried to convince me Wilco is a good band (with no real success) and I introduced him to pieces of music like d:contamination by Man Or Astro-Man and commented on how, as chaotic as it sounds, the structure and even melody are directly traceable to Bach and Mozart. We had a good ol' time and listened to tons of music.
Once we'd drunk his beer supply dry it was getting pretty late anyway (8:30 PM which is the same as 11:30 PM in the now times) and I buzzed on back here.
I'm trying to get Tom into busking, and since he played in "Symphonic band" I keep maintaining that he's had to have been better than I have, and I was kind of tickled to see he had a copy of Herbert L. Clarke's "Elementary Studies". That's not a very easy book to find, and he said he "got it when he was inspired by Miles Davis". I've got to drag the guy out busking with me.
