3rd Obon practice

 I stayed up all night again, as mentioned I did stuff, started some laundry, etc. I slept until 2:30 in the afternoon so at least I'm walking it back. 

I packed all the things that needed shipping and took them to the post office and FedEx, then stopped at the chicken place for 3 pieces instead of my usual two, and ate them back here. 

I left here at about 6:30, and got to Nijiya at 6:45. I got a coffee and some celery and hung around a bit until the practice began. I also bought a $5 ticket for this quilt raffle that benefits the Dharma Center that they're building and that I'll never see. The lady running it and I have a joke about how if I win the quilt, I'll donate it back so they can raffle it again and maybe it will start a tradition, of raffling the quilt each year. 

The practice went pretty well, and there were more people dancing. San Jose Taiko were supposed to show up, but they ended up being late and just doing a few songs at the end. It was pretty cool. 

The weather was also cool, luckily I had a thin sweatshirt and jacket to put on before riding home. 

I'd checked the court site and they don't need me tomorrow.  If they don't need me this week, I think I might have to be on call for next week. 

At least I practiced last night. I'm starting to work not just on the tunes we're working on in the shakuhachi club but the standard beginner tunes for the shakuhachi in general.

Heavy, man.

 Last night I got the Connstellation cornet out and put the screw for the 1st valve trigger back on, and installed new water key corks too. ...
