Title: San Jose Obon Festival 2008
Post by: JorgeRPG077 on May 29, 2008, 02:30:40 AM
Heyas people. I know Fanime is over, but in 2 months, San Jose's Japantown is doing Obon 2008 so I was wondering, who wants to go and hang out for a bit?

Start Time:   
Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 12:00am
End Time:   
Sunday, July 13, 2008 at 8:00pm
Location:   
San Jose Buddhist Church
Street:   
640 North Fifth St
City/Town:   
San Jose, CA

I'll be there so it would be cool if some forum members came to it as well. Might as well have something to do since no one of us is going to AX the weekend beforehand. :3

I'll see about showing up. Its not that far from where I live, and it'll be quite easy to get there.

It's a bit of a drive for me (I live in San Leandro which is between Hayward/Oakland for those who know), but I might show up one of the days.  Let's meet up somewhere!  I hope I don't get lost on the way there  :(

I live in Hayward, so I don't mind the carpooling from here to down there, if it comes down to it. I'll probably show up both days and what not. :3

I should do this. I live in Palo Alto, so anyone north could meet at my place, grab a bite to eat, then we'll carpool to San Jose. I can make Sunday, July 13th.

Obon festival was good times last couple years. I'll probably drop in again, probably Sunday.

Easy access for me. I'll show up, if all goes well.

I imagine I should be able to manage to make it, hopefully with a friend or two in tow. I just was talking to a friend about it today and she said it was really good so I'll defientely keep it in mind.

XD as for AX I'm certainly attending that.

At least you have people in the car to help you not get lost O_O!  Once I pass the Stevensons Exit to the Westfield mall in Santa Clara, I might as well be lost in the middle of a forest XP.
