This festival was in Mimata on August 11th. The painter Shogen and the singer keyco were there along with local singer hou and some nice DJs too. The weather was rainy and awful for a few days but we didn't get the sort of destruction they did in neighboring Kagoshima prefecture. It's nice to have a big roofed over space like this, it's the same space that is lit up for the Free Night School dodge ball fun and during the day it's nice to deal with sunburn or sudden squall worries. I was having such a great time making funny faces with the kids and talking with all sorts of people I forgot to take many photos. But there are professional photos and video on-line!! Halfway through the one video is me doing the I.L.Y. sign with a guy I had just met from Nichinan. He told me he used to work in L.A. so we were shouting Ozomatli when the nice Camera guy came by. This place is an after-school facility so kids could play in a little grassy playground between the squall rains. The local DIY shop helped kids make little seats, there was a tent for kids to play in, Dance Hall night people could groove to the music and families could eat and have a good old time. Impressive event: something for everyone!!
