Cherry Blossom Viewing


Hanami baby! Going to the Cherry Blossom viewing shindig (Sakura Matsuri) at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG) with my friend Emily today. It's a fine day for it. Supposed to be 88 degrees today. 88! Um, what happened to Spring? Spring? It does not exist. Sigh.

Anyways, am looking forward to the festival. There's taiko drumming (my fave!) at noon, haiku poetry readings and Okinawan & Butoh dance. The costume play (cos-play) community will be out in force as well... Will take a lot of pictures of those Gothic Lolitas fer sure. And there's some kind of sushi pillow photo op??? A pillow made of real sushi or a marketing ploy by a pillow manufacturer or something altogether different. Will let you know!

May 1 and 2nd 10 am to 6 pm
