Here is my aunt's stuff after me and the other guy set it all up. Looks good doesn't it?

The show was in the gym of this Buddist temple.

And the temple was in San Jose Japantown, the cutest Japantown I've ever been to.

It was definitely very cool to see what remains of the established Japanese American community all come out. Which means a whole bunch of old genki peeps came out. Maybe things sort of started to die down after the concentration camps for Japanese Americans all those years ago. We're a much more scattered, diluted group these days. One lady told me it was her 88th birthday next week, and another lady was 91 years old! They were so happy and smiley and energetic and healthy. Believe me, if their blood line stayed in Japan, they would have been defeated by the world long ago. Old people are OLD in Japan.

And then this is me after the whole ordeal. Very tired indeed. Nice view of my scalp though, and my roots aren't that bed yet.

I can't remember - did you do your hair yourself? - because it's holding in there well, not fading to that funny pink/orange colour that red trys to do.

Yeah I've been doing it myself for the past few months, but I dye it every three weeks!! I have naturally dark hair so it fades to an ugly copper metal color though. Thanks though, I feel good about my hair now.

I had no idea san jose had a japan town! i love the one in sf but I so wish it was more than just that little area sigh

Yeah go check it out! I haven't been to the one in SF for years, but that one's kind of fake. The one in SJ felt more like a community, it was so cute. Plus it wasn't crowded and parking is no problem.
