Yikes! Nothing that garish. :bleh:

They're mid-height Nike Zoom Air trail running shoes made with Gore-Tex.

My image of B in clown shoes has been unceremoniously flushed down the toilet.

Okay, I'm back from the Nisei Week festival and Q is on his way home...

Got a little sunburned, but no problem... Wish we coulda metup with some other J-D people, but oh well...

The Tofu Festival was sort of a rip: $8 to get in, then you have to buy additional tickets at $1 a pop to buy things like Kirin, sake, drinks, food, etc... Disappointing.

Does it say Nisei Week '06?

The katana displays were pretty cool, but I didn't take any pics becasue they were encased in glass and the reflection from the flash woulda ruined the picture...

I did take a number of pics of the beautiful ikebana displays in the JACC building and the taiko demostrations at the Tofu festival.

Yup, on the back.

I'll post a pic when I get a chance.

yeah....nice shirt too...
good thing the weather wasn't too warm
and those taiko drums....were good,
i am also wondering if they wore earplugs.. :applaud:

Yaeh, the taiko was good, especially the UCLA taiko group... And not just because they were nearly all girls. :beaten:

Next week, they'll have a BIG taiko demo... With colleges, high schools, etc. participating... I think.

Hey, we forgot to check out the Anime thingy...! :doh:

You, me, and probably everyone there except those folks wearing those funky hats that cover the ears and neck.

Oh well, they're all a bunch of freaks anyway. Who wants to see a 500lb in a Kagome salior suit? *ducks rocks thrown at him by anime fans*

Man, I'd have had to wear a few gallons of sunblock.

We did see some Cosplay people roaming around... Interesting group. :crazy:
