Japan Fun Fest!

Bring something to sit on during the movie! It's an outdoor event. I'm creating a free outdoor event for both the traditional and modern Japanese culture and socializing for 2 Meetup groups: this group and The Austin Japanese Culture and Language Group. There will be a bouncy castle for kids under 4 yrs old. Cosplay fans, kimono fans are encouraged to dress up. Or, whatever else Japanese you like go for it. I welcome everyone's input on more ideas, performance, presentation, and so forth. I want this event to present both old and new aspects of Japan. The event is family friendly.
