Nisei Week Festival/Little Tokyo/Related

I went on Saturday. It was fun as hell!!! Although I had the HARDEST TIME finding it. I got lost and I thought I was in the wrong neighborhood when things started to look a tad scary... from my house to the festival I wasted LITERALLY HALF A TANK OF GASOLINE, and I live in BH!!!!!!! I got all confused when they decide to close some street because of a stupid protest. but i found it eventuallly!! :mrgreen:

Agh, you shoulda mentioned it sooner: us J-D people coulda met up somewhere...

Hmm, maybe we gotta organize something for J-D members to meet up during Nisei Week... I think it would be great.

If people are willing. :sweat:

I think this is a great idea, but you know that already.

Excellent pics, Ralph! And jeez, they had a dog there wearing sunglasses??? What's next, grills?

You and minna are quite welcome. It was a pleasure taking them and enjoying the beauties( :flyingkiss: ) that graced the parade. I WANT MORE!!!!!

:naughty: :love_eyes:

Props to you Ralph... :thumbsup:


Maybe all of us J-Dorama-ers should get together on the day of the parade... That could be one hell of a bash. :victory:

Maybe we could have our own float... :beaten:

root beer please! :victory:
