Mike's Place

July 4th was a lot of fun. It started with a trip to Guadalupe Park in San Jose, for a 4th of July event sponsored by the local NBC affiliate. At 2:15, San Jose Taiko performed for 45 minutes. If you haven't seen taiko, look for an event in your area! It was a blast -- so much so, that I'm considering signing up for one of their 12-week recreational classes. :)

I'd never seen taiko performed live before, having only seen video of Kodo.

And best of all, there were no Santa Cruz hippies lighting up joints during the performance, as they did with Xavier Rudd. :)
