I am up a mountain in an onsen town. That should be enough so why do I feel like I need to type something more deep?

There is something about the arc of going to and coming back from a show that resonates with me.

It isn't just being at the show itself. It is the whole process of thinking about the show, studying up on who is playing, exploring the area around the venue, time tables, talking to people, thinking about future music, and things like that.

Then when you get back there is stuff to put away, things I've gathered to check out later to peruse, choosing wind down music, and things like that.

You change slightly after going out for some music. It's like you are a meteor and something bumps your course slightly. It changes your orbit a bit.

Took advantage of the dollar to yen exchange rate and leveled up my winter coat. A random fashion reset which is rare for me. Enough so that my significant keeps asking me "who are you". Nothing too crazy but it's for sure a departure from previous vibes. Getting used to the length but have a longer one is already better for waiting on a train platform.

Got four meters of green fabric in Nippori's fabric town the other day. A two meter sheet of at a photo shop is like 10000円/$100 or something. I got the four meters for 400円/$4.

Finally got around to doing a green screen chroma key test and it totally worked. Just need to figure out some way to do the lighting better and in a way that is portable. Also, need to get my head around getting the edge on the video being cut out.

I couldn’t resist the temptation to take photos of the fireworks tonight. I am never going to look at them or use them for anything.
