Tuesday:
This is going to be a crazy week! I'm trying to get
my apartment packed as well as plan all of my school
stuff. Too much!
Also this afternoon, I met Mark Baker for a quick
rehearsal-- the cd (Used Flowers) that I recorded
backup vocals for in the fall is finally finished and
ready to go, so on Saturday, we're doing a cd release
party at Club Ta. My big problem with Mark is that he
doesn't really know anything about music at all, he
just does everything intuitively. That makes it
difficult to communicate with him, and it makes him
super inconsistent with things like phrasing and
timing, thus making us sound slightly out of sync. I
hope this concert goes okay . . .

Wednesday:
Tonight I met Summer and Bobby at Phillies in
Haebangchon for a little hang, and for some "quiz
night" action. Thank god for Summer (and Garan who
eventually joined us), because Bobby and I were
useless with the quiz questions! Again, it was pretty
awesome to be surrounded by familiar faces, and to be
running into people I know randomly in Haebangchon.

Thursday:
Today I had to go down to Iksan to renew my visa for
another year. This involved me getting up early,
taking the bus for 2 and a half hours, waiting for an
hour and a half at the immigration office, and then
getting back on the bus for another 2 and a half
hours. What a boring day! (And a waste of valuable
time) When I got back to Seoul, I had to rush to a
rehearsal with Baker's whole band, which consisted of
Garan and the other St. John the Gambler members. It
went . . . okay. The drummer is kind of iffy, and I'm
not really sure if this show is going to come off well
or not.
Afterwards, we all went to Phillies for a little bit,
but I was pretty tired, and Garan and I are sticking
to our no drinking for a month rule, so I bailed out
pretty early.

Saturday:
More salsa teaching tonight. It's getting easier, and
Bryan's getting better at slowing down and picking
better moves for the students. It's really fun!
After salsa class, I had to rush to Club Ta for the cd
release party. Parts of it went okay, but parts of it
were really dicey as well. Overall, I think Mark was
satisfied with the show, and there was a really big
crowd, so I think lots of cds were sold, which is
pretty cool. Again, I was pretty exhausted, and I
still had packing to finish, so I bailed out almost
right after the show.
