The one hour day

[] 25 August 2005

This day lasted the hour that we set our clocks back.

At the very last minute, after Brandt took over the high level lesson and had quite specific ideas about how fast it should be done and was just whizzing through everything, I was like, "nup" and decided he could do it. I just handed the mic over to him and was like, "you can do it," and stepped back to watch.

Kim did her Beginner lesson and Brandt did the Advanced one and I just watched. I later realized it was better that I hadn't gone onstage with Brandt (part of his original idea) because generally, we only had one teacher onstage at a time during the open classes.

Generally, I did not understand the presentations; they were all in Japanese and not translated. I understood the dances being done in fast motion, and I understood when they handed out breads for 'breakfast' and fruit for 'lunch.'
