Nisei Week Festival/Little Tokyo/Related

Finally a good looking princess court. :naughty:

I'll be watching and recording them during the Bon Odori.

Why is Torrance Mitsuwa having its annual summer festival on this weekend? :headscratch:

Oh well, off to Nisei Week. Visit me at the anime festival where I will be helping out. :mrgreen:

I wondered that myself. Anyway, looks like the weather will be nice, it won't be 8000F like it was a couple weeks ago for the Obon Festival. :sweat: [/list:u]

Hopefully I can get out there next weekend to catch the gyoza eating contest... :victory:

Where is the anime festival?

According to the site, it's the same place where they're having the Street Fair... Probably along San Pedro, I'd guess.

I went today and to my surprise, the street festival wasn't in the street. It's in the JACCC plaza.

Thanks guys... if at JACC it will be easy to find.

Dana Fujiko Heatherton (bottom row 2nd from right) is this year's Nisei Week Queen (personally, I would have picked Jeniffer Akamine, bottom row, far right)

^ Hmm, another happa girl wins... I always found that rather disconcerting.

They are mostly a pretty attractive bunch, though... :)

All these festivals: Why can't they have anything like that here? :shamefulcry:

She did look gorgeous in person during the parade... I can see why she won.... at least according to my requirements... cute cute cute.... I may have her on my cam.... I tried but they moved so fast I don't know if I framed her.... :nut:

Well, you guys are having a Japanese film festival.... :victory:

The first event in the parade, as always, was the LAPD motorcycle corps doing their intricate runs around each other.

This is very spectacular. However, just as they were passing my perch on the sidewalk, one of the officers lost his motorcycle and went down. Fortunately he was not hurt. I felt sorry for him to be so embarrased in front of the thousands watching. I may have it on one of my clips but I think he was blocked in the video by other motorcycles between my cam and him. Have not reviewed my videos yet. If I have it I will post it.

True. I just wish it was closer to my place :(

How far is it?

About 90 minutes by car, but there's nowhere to park in the middle of Sydney so realistically 2 hours by the time you park in an outer suburb and get a train in :sweat:

Eeek. :sweat:

That is quite a bit of a deterrent.
