final info on "Emergency Dance"

Well, the (so called) Emergency Dance is today at 1PM on the Kamo River, just south of Imadegawa, on the west side. We will be dancing for about an hour, and then having a picnic. The weather report predicts cloudy but dry weather, in the 20's (66 F). Some people will be meeting at Demachiyanagi Station at 1PM, and the location is a minute or two from there.

We were very lucky to find a very special musician to perform for us. (The lovely and talented ;-) Armelle from Auvergne (??), France will be playing traditional and original accordion music. She is realy wonderful to listen and dance to, so do come if you can!

If you can't find us when you arrive, we can be reached by keitai at 070 6475 5855 and email at davidcrespo@wm.pdx.ne.jp

Naturally, bring utensils, cups, plates, and if you can, a dish for the picnic.

We don't know very much about how the filming will be proceed, except that the name of the show is Kyo no Ichinichi. It is on the local NHK (channel 1 ?), and airs every weekday from 6 to 7 PM. It's a kind of local news and events show.

The premise of the segment will be that they will be walking along the Kamo with a certain rakugo talent (I don't know his name), and they will see us and come over to "check it out." The rakugo performer will then try to learn to dance, and so on...

See you soon....
