Chiryu Summer Festival

Today is another hot and sultry day here in Chiryu Japan.

The temperature outside is like 36C (97F)

But it should be great for tonight's festival we'll be having in the city.  It's called the Yoitoko Matsuri (Good place festival) celebrating summer and a good, safe city to live in.

There will be Japanese Traditional dances on the streets of Chiryu, many different groups from around the city will compete for the best in dancing, uniform, and just good looks.  I will be leading one of these groups tonight.  My first time after five years of living here in Chiryu.

Should be fun I'll see if I can get some photos taken.

Podcast Industry

Those interested in the podcast industry and other online media, and would like to help or find out more about the industry or about the Association of Podcasters and Online Media Producers please take some time and do the survey linked below.  The survey will give you a lot to think about in terms of what you would like to see in an association that will represent those in the industry.  Those who are just starting or are just amateur producers will probably get a lot out of this as well.


Update:  Check out what others had to say about the new association and check their blogs and podcasts
