**Rufio** · 09-12-2007, 10:13 AM

All that and a decent carne-asada burrito. I am becoming jealous again.

**kneexyFreedly** · 09-12-2007, 02:11 PM

Hey Kenzan, you should take some pics.

**dogdesign** · 09-12-2007, 02:11 PM

Oh yeah. Pics please!

**CsFLhGNp** · 09-12-2007, 02:16 PM

Thanks for the tip. I'll be there for my daughter's wedding and to keiko with some friends from SoCal (and to go to the races at Santa Anita) so this is shaping up as a good vacation (except that I'm the father of the bride $$$$$).

**Salliter** · 09-12-2007, 02:18 PM

Congrats on your daughter's wedding Theodore.

**RlUbQU3R** · 09-12-2007, 02:19 PM

For this boy it's a double-double at In-N-Out.

**Haftdrarp** · 09-12-2007, 02:21 PM

Congrats on your daughter's wedding Theodore.

Thank you. I'm of two minds. She's my "baby" (if a 25 year old can be called such) but she's picked a very nice man. Besides, I love grandchildren (5 already).

**Arximedus** · 09-12-2007, 02:25 PM

Thank you. I'm of two minds. She's my "baby" (if a 25 year old can be called such) but she's picked a very nice man. Besides, I love grandchildren (5 already).

Bear in mind, I was a nice man too.

**SaamanthaSterlyng** · 09-12-2007, 02:27 PM

Pix will be forthcoming.

(Pix of me stuffing my face full of Carne-"Everything" burritos that is.)

Muahahah! Think I'll take one with a bit of Verde sauce dribbling on me shirt...

**pavelChe** · 09-12-2007, 03:34 PM

Woooo, that's an impressive film spread too. Sword of Doom, Vengeance is Mine, Samurai Rebellion, Throne of Blood. I'm envious.

Oooooo!!! I get to visit in San Diego sometime next month and will be going to LA to visit my older brother too. I'm going to make sure to see this exhibit! I'm also going to Little Tokyo for books.

Love books...

What's Bugu? Is that like Bushido?

Kaoru

**robinthesearchmasterh** · 09-14-2007, 09:09 PM

I translated the little booklet about the history of the martial arts that will be distributed at the event.

**Dilangfh** · 09-17-2007, 07:43 PM

Hello again everyone!
As promised, For the Bugu exhibit, I came, I saw, I took a lot of photos.

Enjoy!

And if you can make it down to the exhibit, remember to show your support for Little Tokyo and BUY SOMETHING!

**TRASIAOREXOLA** · 09-17-2007, 10:17 PM

Oh, and Just for Perry...

Torture!

LOL

**Lymnempomma** · 09-18-2007, 12:56 AM

Thanks for the pics (stick to your day job

).

Twisted himo on the jukendo men, not cool.

**Idorsearogele** · 09-18-2007, 01:16 AM

Cool pics, thanks for sharing Kenzan, i've never seen the "turbo" kabuto, the "catfish tail" one is impressive, makes me wonder if there was any meaning to those decorations other than showing off.

**kilibry** · 09-18-2007, 01:40 AM

boy are there times i wish i had this piece on during practice....

**Blaxastij** · 09-18-2007, 03:03 AM

I agree, that is one cool piece of armor.

**reachmanxx** · 09-18-2007, 07:43 AM

All three Bogu Himos were twisted, actually.
I surrupticioisly adjusted the Kendo Men Himo, but the watchful eye of the 96 year old woman in the room kept me from fixing all three.
