Came to Musicians Union in Hollywood!
I'm at Musicians Union in Hollywood again. I just put my name on another musicians list in there. Now I'm going to make a website, do a recording, make a promotional video then pray.
Okey, time to play fun music! I'm gonna rock out!

Band rehearsal!
Rehearsal at JamSpot, the rehearsal studio in Boston. I haven’t been here for a year. There used to be a funny guy who speaks Japanese fluently but he was not there. Oh well, I wanted to see him after such a long time.

iPad mount & Bluetooth page turner.
I field-tested my iPad stand and the page turner for the first time for a rehearsal today. Both of them passed the test. Today’s rehearsal was extra long but the iPad stand was holding it to the end and the page turner was working beautifully. I am happy about that and I have no worries using it on real gigs now.
Maybe you have guessed already but I love this kind of gadgets. I was enjoying setting them up as if I was building something with Lego blocks. I’m loving my iPad too. After the rehearsal, I was having fun thinking of some apps that I can use for my music creation. iPad totally woke up the Japanese nerdy guy in me.

Band practice in a garage!
Rehearsing in a garage! I haven't played in one of them for a while! Brings me back good memories when I was in high school!! 😆😆😆👍👍👍
.....and pizzas after the band practice! This is so my high school years! If we go to shoot pool after this, that would be perfect.

Rehearsal for a recording
Done with the rehearsal for a recording this weekend. Ten days had passed since I came back from the tour. Christmas season had already begun in Boston and my head is switched from the touring-musician mode to the party-musician mode. I have to switch it back once again and give my 100% for the recording. I needed something like this.
