So Wapfest 2009 was a nice night out, and apparently a couple other thousand people thought so too.

As expected of something dubbed Japan Fest, there was a bunch of cultural performances.

Ladies dancing~

Babies playing drums~

Dudes walking around the crowd spinning plates?

There was also a demonstration where an Okinawan Chef disassembled a 50 pound Tuna fish in 2 minutes. (Shit was so cash.)

Of course, I did call the festival WeeabooFest, so you can bet there were a handful of cosplayers. The Narutofag was a pretty cool guy, but I really liked Pockydude’s box outfit. Just lazy and relevant enough for me to approve.

I spent most of my time hitting booths for food and drank. I ate Squid on a stick. It actually looks like a squid impaled on a stick! (I guess because it is) Freaking DELISH. I got a bunch of other food and drank, and at one booth an old guy groped me to try and get me to buy shit at his booth. Yeah, I dunno.

I actually managed to fill my CF card by the end of the night. I expected my battery to die before that, but my job has seemed to make me a lot more aggressive and outgoing with my photography. I don’t seem to be afraid to be up in random strangers’ shit or taking time to shoot things anymore. I love TBS just for that.

Wandering around taking pictures as well was a Buddhist Monk. He was packing a pretty hefty flash and a 5D Mark 2. The path to enlightenment lies in the reflex of a single mirror, you see. One; I’m out.
