Just spreading the word, in case you have nothing to do on your Tuesday, and you happen to be around NYC:
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is holding a day of free events throughout NYC on February 7, 2006 aimed at increasing awareness of Japan’s customs, culture, and cartoons titled Tokyo Festa. Visit www.TokyoFesta.com for a full list of events, but some of the highlights include…
The En-Nichi Market
A recreation of an old Edo marketplace. Featuring traditional fun and games for both children and adults. With prizes.Taiko of Edo
Wadaiko (Japanese drums) are the heartbeat of most festivals in Tokyo, and the Tokyo Metro Government’s brought some of Japan’s finest to Manhattan. They’ll be pounding away all day long.Tokyo Anime Showcase
Want to watch the latest anime not yet available in America? The Tokyo Anime Showcase will give you your first glimpse of the anime of tomorrow — today. Including a special Studio 4C Film Festival.
It’s free and sounds neat, although there aren’t too many details yet on the webpage. Interesting that they aren’t doing it on a weekend, though.

Thanks for the FYI. This sounds neat.
w00t. Probably going to be there. =]
Hey, thanks for the notice! I live on Long Island and am co-President of the Japanese club at my school, so I’ve got a whole bunch of people to go with me. I’m really excited and I hope that its as good as it sounds. It is weird though that there’s barely any info on the site. Thanks again!
