Heads UP!

*Looks at caitlin, unclemilo, vampireanneke, cecerose - and all other locals.*

Local to Los Angeles, that is.

Nisei Week begins this weekend.

We are having breakfast in Little Tokyo and are planning to leave town by lunch time - Jim has to work Saturday night. (BUMMER.)

However, we can set up a meetup at the Japanese-American Musuem if anyone is interested - it's a good meeting point.

Who is with me?

Come one, come all -

But be prepared for an early morning!

Breafast will be at Nick's Cafe, 1300 N. Spring St, Los Angeles - Thousand Cranes will not be open until dinner time on Saturday. (Crap.) However, the Nisei Week office recommends this place for both "quantity and quality" - and is supposed to be a total pork fat thang.

I intend to be there around 8:30.

We will be moving the car down to the Japanese Village parking lot and then walking from there - hope to meet up with anyone who wants to join us at 10:00 AM in front of the museum store at the Japanese-American Musuem - likely, we will be visiting the Go for Broke memorial and then strolling through the rest of Little Tokyo.

Wear good walking shoes and be prepared for hot weather. I expect the pace to be brisk - we MUST leave at 1:00 PM.

Anyone within reach is welcome to join us - this is the one big community event I recommend to everyone each year. You want to see bonsai? You got it. Caligraphy? Ditto. It's also the time where the collectors bring out their antique swords and accessories to show - and cha-no-ya is demonstrated all day. (Yummie!) It looks like the big Taiko demonstrations are next weekend, but the community center will be open and the street fair will be on.

And Little Tokyo itself is plenty of draw in my opinion, all by itself.

If you can't make this weekend, please take advantage next weekend if you can get there - it costs nothing to show up except for parking and what you want to eat, and the ondo dancing the last Sunday evening is just too much fun (but we're going to miss it this year, durnit).

The whole town is having Open House - enjoy!

Operation Anya? Real Deal?

In Iraq, ginmar hits on a plan. A good plan.

And weren't we talking about Christmas presents the other day? Oh hell yeah.
