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!

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

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! Probably best to park in the nearby neighborhood and walk like 5 blocks. Better than 20!

The closest bart station you get off at will be the Montgomery Station. Then you have to walk like 1-2 blocks to take the 38 Geary bus. There is either a 38 Geary that stops at every bus stop or 38L (limited) Geary bus that stops at every other bus stop. But either of them will take you to Japantown. Hope this will help you out.

Hmm I think I'm taking the car

So that means you're driving, right? Remember, you said it, not me.

Man, I might be having a "Cherry Blossom weekend"
I found out that there is one going on also in Cupertino, California.
So, maybe go on Saturday to the San Francisco one again (already went last week, but gotta go back for Teriburgers),
then on Sunday catch the Cupertino one.

By the way, someone told me that the Miss Cherry Blossom is going on this Saturday, but according to my link above, it took place last Week??
I went last Sunday the 18th, and that's what I heard. Anyway, there is a phone number on the link so you can get the right info.

Awww. I wouldn't drive there either. Could be hellish. Oh well, I guess me and BART have some catching up to do after a year of not seeing each other.

Cherry Blossom!

i might make it.. see how i feel.

Ok, I'll be at the festival tomorrow at around noon I believe. If you guys want to find me, I'll be wearing blue jeans and probably a blue sweat shirt. Hoody maybe. I'm 5'8", 140 lb, and Chinese. Hmm what else, I'm 19 but I get mistaken for 15 If all else fails just scream "eltinator" very loud and I might answer depending on how embarassing it is

hahaha yea, probably will be a lot of people. Maybe I should post a pic to make searching easier

Hope you win money sempai

Eh, I just came back from the festival. I would have stayed longer, but I was by myself and I got bored really fast. Although, I did go to Mikado Music Japan and got me a copy of Hikki's new single Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro. I would have gotten more stuff, but a LOT of it was way overpriced. Oh, and I got a cool little Japanese good luck cellphone strap. I was kinda surprised when it came out to be $5 though. I had some Takoyaki and Green Tea Tapioca and walked around. That's about it. But, I must admit, the number one reason why I came was for the hawt chicks anyways. And boy there were some good looking ones.

I went yesterday and man there were sooooooooo many people. Lots of cool booths and lots a food. And yeah there were a lot of hot girls. The worst part was driving back though. Took me hours to drive back because of the Bay Bridge contruction.

Was there on Saturday as well! Got there a bit late like 5:30 so we were mainly in the mall area. Picked up a few posters including 1 of my Aya-chan for $4.50 a piece
