Japan Society J-cation (live Japanese game show)

Yvo

Hey guys, the Japan Society is hosting this cool taste of Japan day-long festival on April 10th.

That's cool enough I'm sure but if you need more incentive, they're hosting a live Japanese game show (yes, *that* kind) -

and yours truly will be a contestant. So... come down and watch me make a complete fool of myself. Or to y'know, show some support and cheer me on... or laugh hysterically when I fall on my face or something :(

It's near the UN... 47th Street and 1st Ave.

Thanks :)

    I'm looking for a bento box, it cant be pinku (that's Japanese for pink) or any girl color. It has to be of 2 or more kotoba (that's Japanese for 2 compartments) and has be be chibi (small) sized. And has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20 bux. And you have to post pics of it first (i want to make shure it's kawaii [cute]). And it would be nice if it came with matching chopstick holder (WITH chopsticks). OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made out of plastic. It has to be made of ceramic, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or corea (Korea) or whatever. I have found a bento box similar to the one im describing in e-bay, but it was 1 kotoba, and i don't want my gohan (rice) to touch my other things (it can get wet and i would not like that, plus 2 compartments looks more kawaii)

    chris6: Are you female? For some reason, I always thought you were a guy...

    Chris. Let's talk. You have my contact info.

    Except I've never seen a ceramic one, just the hakoya ones which are lacquerware I think or metal ones, and then plastic ones

  8. Chris H.

  9. StreetMeasOnsumer3008

    An asian festival like this one seem to attract alot of geeky white men. LOL

    @mkim - exactly why I'm trying to entice the MLers to come root for me. It'll balance out the audience a little bit.

    @mkim- so your husband will be at the festival?
