Writers group at 10:45. In my copious free time before that, I sprayed a coat of orange on the 240Z, third coat with my airbrush, it’s starting to look like a real paint job. Then I set up my camera on a tripod and shot videos of myself, performing two of the songs I propose to do for the upcoming event on the 27th. I cut them down to under a minute, i.e. one chorus, each and sent them to Mary R, the producer of the event. I personally thought I looked and sounded… well, not like shit, maybe, but not like entertainment, either. She wrote back later that she “loved them”. So no easy-out that way. Committed. Must practice harder. Later in the day I practiced and I was forgetting lyrics, forgetting chord changes, just…
After the writers meeting (I had nothing to contribute) I helped Dr. Margaret work through applying for a visa to visit Tanzania. She has signed up for a Road Scholar tour but apparently each person has to get their own visa. Man, after working through that process, I would not go to Tanzania if you paid me. Not only do they want you to upload a passport photo, they want you to upload a picture of your passport, and a PDF (specifically PDF) of your return flight ticket. And pay $100. Plus a $1.50 “handling fee”. Here, handle this, Tanzania.
Felt like a change so I walked out to eat at a restaurant on University. Came back and participated in a sing-along in the lobby.
