Check out the pictures from the 2010 Festival.
I actually went later in the day, it was more fun than last year (last year went on a Sunday). Saturday event is a lot more fun. I didn't see anyone from the meetup, but the Festival was fun just to go and enjoy it. :)

Hmm won't be there till sometime after 12:30... and it will probably be impossible to find you guys for the different tours as I am not familiar with anyone. Some other time I suppose although I'll be there so if you recognize me from my pic, lol, say hi!

Lets all meet up at the Cherry Esplanade stage @ 11:30 before the Taiko Drumming concert. Then we can go on a tour given by the staff at 1pm. Details in the main body of the meetup have been changed.

Well, I'm going to be there around 12:30ish and I'm bringing a friend and her 5 year old daughter. Won't be able to get together afterwards but it would be nice to meet some other members while there.
