So my computer got wet and that’s why the vlogs stopped. Back in full force with a fixed macbook and ready to keep sharing my awesome experience here in Japan! We’re done with a full week of show with two more left to go!

TYPHOON…not
Okay. Sorry about the lack of daily vlog yesterday. When it came time to head back to the hotel I realized I had about 30 seconds of footage from the entire day. This was for two main reasons:
- You’ve been seeing the same background in my vlogs for a full week and it’s not as exciting as the Shibuya episode
- I’m doing a lot more things that I legally cannot put in the blog because of copyright.
This is a good thing because that means I’m doing a lot on stage, but it is a bummer I am unable to show you what exactly I’m doing on stage (or just come to the show)
Once shows start I’ll have a lot more time to do stuff around town and actually have footage to show you that is interesting and legal content. But in the meantime enjoy today’s vlog!

First day off! Went into Shibuya and did some shopping. Great time with great people. I absolutely love Japan!

Shorter vlog today. Being productive as always. Got to check out a little bit of the area around the theater. We’re down the street from a US Air Force Base.

Awesome (but wet) Slide!
So tech is a necessary part of any stage production. As a swing it’s a little boring because they use primarily the normal cast to set the lighting and sound. My job gets a lot more exciting once it’s all set and I can successfully swing someone out for a show.
I will say today’s vlog is a little scatterbrained, but I’ll tell you it’s better than footage of me reading books off an iPad! The show is making huge strides and I really wish I could show it to you. Here’s to hoping for another tour (especially one in the US)

Authentic Japanese Spaghetti?
Today was the first full day of tech. I want to apologize for you depressingly boring I become throughout today’s vlog. Jet lag was finally starting to hit me and there wasn’t much for me to do today! I do love my job and it’s awesome that I can do stuff like this for a living.
I will say that today was one of the first times I started getting real goosebumps. It’s exciting to be putting together a new production. And especially a new iteration of a show I always had a dream of being a part of. This show is going to be very special and I’m very excited for where the show will go and where I’ll get to go along the way from it!

26 Hour Travel Day
Okay, so I know I’ve already missed my daily posting goal, but gimme a break, I’ve been on a plane most of the day. Anyway here’s my next vlog. Officially in Japan!
Well, here goes talking to myself in public places and narrating my life. For real though I thought it might be interesting for myself and viewers to have a snapshot of day to day goings on as a musician at Blast! While I won’t be able to post any actual show content due to copyright laws I will be attempting to post any possible behind the scenes and adventures I may embark on in Japan. While this series is specific to this tour I am exploring the idea of eventually making this into a regular percussion blog where I will discuss different aspects of being a musician.
I’m departing tomorrow morning (August 8) and will be in Japan until our short tour ends on September 12. Pending wifi, expect posts from Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. If you can read Japanese check out the tour website here.
