Cherry Blossom Festival in San Francisco, CA

Anyone from the Bay Area attend this over the weekend? I did... it was awesome! Excellent food for really cheap! I had like two Teriburgers, Garlic ramen and fries, etc.
There's another one again this weekend Saturday April the 24th I think.
Parking was hard though!

yah there will be another one this coming weekend. i didn't go this weekend. i'll try this coming weekend. :mrgreen:

Wow I want to to go this. :D I can get my taiyaki fix.

Didn't go this weekend but I might this coming Saturday, after I set that Aya timer on my VCR :hehe: :hehe:

My friends and I drove there, but we were kinda late and parking was completely gone so we decided to ditch it. We will get there bright and early this weekend though.

Wow seems like everyone is going this weekend. Seems like a reunion now :hehe: :hehe:

I was thinking of going, but when I finally remembered, it was already 7:00PM on Sunday which was already too late. Good to know that there's another one. We should have a JDorama get together or something. :mrgreen:

What city is the festival at? It sounds fun.

Yeah, you gotta get there early. Around 5 pm yesterday, the food section was closing down. Also parking is really hard and we just got lucky finding one. If I go again on Saturday, maybe I'll take the bus.
It's those Teriburgers that are tempting me to go back... they're so damn good!

haha I see. Well still, I heard you guys got a whole bunch of cool HK movies and posters.

<---- dying to get more posters :nut:

Also, I heard that the one coming up this Saturday the 24th is better... there is the Miss Cherry Blossom Parade/Pageant I believe.
Yesterday's was just a preview of things to come.

So I didn't miss the best part after all! :love_eyes: :beaten: :hehe:

So, who's planning to go? Me and eltinator are planning to go (we know each other outside of the forum :hehe:). Maybe we could have a gathering. :mrgreen:

Btw, anyone know which station to get off at taking BART? I haven't been to J-town in a while so I'm a bit rusty. Any directions are appriciated.

I'll be there with a few friends. If you're taking BART you'll have a loooong walk. Only station I can think of is Civic Center and walking up Van Ness and making a left on Grant. That's like a 20 block walk! :shakehead: Probably best to park in the nearby neighborhood and walk like 5 blocks. Better than 20! :P
