there were a few nice designs for the nissei shirts, i think this particular year is very artistic, nice....but at first i thought the geisha lady on the back of the shirt was holding some paper on her head, thx for pointing out that it was a head for clarification.... :hehe:

Actually it's a hat... Not quite sure if it's for obon or something else, but I'm sure the woman is a dancer of some kind.

Yeah, the t-shirt and programs booth is always outside the JACC building...

Oh man, the main taiko show next Sunday... Maybe I'll head out there again for that... I still owe you that drink, G-Mark. :)

Alrighty, so I just found out that a few of my students want me to take them to London England next summer, but I'm already taking them to Central Europe during March break. I'd like to have my summer off with no sticky kids around.

I told my bro Sam about the Nisei Festival in L.A. and he's totally in.

Cool.

Unless my gal shows up at my door between now and then, I should be available as a Nisei Week tourguide. :)

The parade is always fun, but a little long at times.

Tamlyn Tomita (a former queen herself) was the grand marshall one year... She looked awesome. :bonk: :bonk:
