Tanada Festival Date Correction
In the most recent issue of the Nagazasshi — Sept./Oct. 2011, Volume 4 issue 2 — there was a small error in listing the date and location of the Tanada Festival.
Fortunately, there’s still time to see the festival — the real date and location is October 30th in Kawatana. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Neutral Party a Great Success
A big thank you to everyone who came to the Just Dance party at Neutral last Saturday. It was a huge success! We collected about 50,000 yen in donations for Haiti.
Another thank you to Warren and Brandon, who organized the event.
Hope you all had fun. We sure did!

Living the Dream at the Gatalympics
Mud and I go way back. My big present from my parents for my fifth birthday was in fact a big pile of dirt. It was a rather large pile mind you, but still, that was it. To this day it is probably the present that ended up bringing me the most enjoyment of any I have received since. I spent countless hours building fortresses for action figures and digging tunnel systems as deep as my tiny 5 year-old hands could reach. Being sprayed down with the garden hose before being granted entry to the house became a daily ritual. Perhaps it was destiny then that some 22 years later I would find myself once more having copious amounts of mud hosed off me, albeit this time it was with a fire hose.
Lecture on the Amazon Rainforest in Higashisonogi on 6/20 2PM-3:30
For those of you who don’t have the benefit of understanding the assemblage of lines known as “Kanji”, the above is a poster for a FREE lecture that will be taking place in Higashisonogi this coming June 20th. The lecture will be given by Ms. Minami Kenko of the Rainforest Foundation Japan based in Tokyo. The lecture will cover such topics as, what we can learn from the native peoples of the Amazon (Ms. Kenko lived with them for many years so she knows), just how bad the destruction of the rainforest is down there, how Japan is playing a near direct role in that destruction, and what we can do in our daily lives to help to lessen our own environmental impact. The lecture will be entirely in Japanese so I suppose it’s mostly for you perapera types, but there’s a slide show too, so at least there’ll be pretty pictures. (Read more)
