Brandon and I explored this morning. We went into town and played in the river a little bit, again arriving at a Starbucks!




Then from 11:00-12:30 we rehearsed in the space we will perform in tomorrow, a small bar downtown. The stage is pretty small, but the space is intimate and will be perfect for this type of performance. The show will have an accordionist and a dancer, a live painter/ Visual arts performance, Brandon will play “Billie” with the new Visual Arts backdrop, Atsushi will dance a solo, Accordionist and Brandon will play, my “Find a Cure” solo, Percussionist and dancer, our collaborative piece “My Chinese Parents” , and then a Jam session. It should be a pretty cool show.

Then we went to eat rotating sushi and Brandon and I explored some more as Tsukasa went to go visit his friends at his old dormitory. Then…sleep.
