Stage 3, Day 23
Beat my personal best for 'money made in a day' to 250$ and 'money made in 2 hours' to 180$.
This excludes paychecks (a sum of many hours/days) and lump sums.
I had the concert, and though there were a few hickups, I managed to play and have fun. Though there were pretty women, I kept back, possibly because of the dynamic (not very professional to hit on the hostess' friends). Anyways, I got paid for that.
The performances went mostly without a hitch. I feel like I'm on the cusp of a new level, and it won't be in fingerstyle music, but rather some sort of conceptual understanding that will help me solo/improvise better, as well as blending guitar and singing with more ease.
One reason I expect this is because I was listening to one of my favorite artists, and I could "see through" the performance. Hard to explain, but when I play, I can hyper-analyze what I'm playing and hear all the mistakes. I could start doing that with him, whereas before, I saw his playing as bulletproof. Makes more sense this way, since they're human just like me.

Still very kick-ass.
