The first annual Tulsa Godzilla Fest was a lot of fun to be able to participate in. I was there as the president of my school’s Japanese Language Club. We had some tables there to help show some of the things of Japan and try to get some donations for our club. So how about a tad bit of a photo tour of the event

Note: There was some horrible lighting situations I don’t have to experience yet to get around so some photo’s are not so good. Also I should have spent more time taken pictures so there aren’t very many or a good diversity.

This is the entrance to the event. The building where the Fest was hosted is a VERY nice building.

Next couple of shots are the above shots of the area.

After the introduction and start there were some Taiko Drummers. This was a lot of fun to watch.

Then came the dancers from the Japanese Society of Northeastern State University. For the life of me I can’t remember the dance they did and I feel horrible for it. Sorry.

The Kendo club of tulsa also showed up and was a lot of fun to watch too.

Also had the treat of getting to eat real Japanese food prepared by a local Japanese lady who is extremely nice, and a great cook. I had some Japanese Curry, was great, and a croquette, was interesting. Wish I could have eaten more but was too full.

We were lucky to have 3 tables to do what we were wanting. From the bottom up we had:

• Music
• Bookmarks where you could get your name written in katakana
• Commemorative Photos. Basically we take a picture of you in kimono, or not, and photoshop you next to Godzilla or some cool landscaping
• We also had an area you could look at origami of some Godzilla’s
• Finally we were able to have a TV where we showed Anime and Japanese Drama’s all day

It was a lot of fun. I would say about half of the people that showed up were Japanese and I have a few good and one terrifying experience of speaking Japanese from the event, but that is for another time. Lots of good people, good food, and fun atmosphere you really couldn’t have gone wrong with the event.
