Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

Welcome fellow Washintonian.  I live down in Olympia for the time being.  Good to see more Washington folks on here, we should make our own shakuhachi convention dealy someday, for the time being though this forum is great.

I'm in WA as well, over in a little city called Seattle. Not many have heard of it, but it's nice.

Hey, what kind of events happen up North? I could always use a trip to BC.

Kingston, eh? Do you know of the SCA JuneFaire, by chance? It's held up in...ih, dang, I don't know some of the topography here as well as I'd like for outlying areas. I know that you can take the Kingston Ferry almost directly to it; it's in some small town on the water, and it has a cemetary.

I ask because I'm going to be there as a vendor this year with a friend of mine. You should think about stopping by.

Oh, and I don't know WHAT is up with the weather. Pretty typical, though, so we shouldn't be too surprised.

Yeah, I thought Port Gamble sounded familliar, lol. 

My friend is an arms dealer , dealing in better-quality swords and such than the others at the Faire. You know how those guys have kids lined up, flailing crappy stainless steel swords around? Not us. We're the place the kids WANT to shop at, but we won't let them buy stuff without thier parents, and they hate it. lol.

Anyway, I'll be there to help him out, and to try and sell a few flutes. If you come by make sure to bring some flutes if you want, and we can check each other's stock out. Hmmm, that sounded funny. Oh well. lol.

I'll be the one dressed more or less (I'm guessing less) like an older Komuso. In fact, you'll rarely see a Japanese personna there, unless it's some kid with a Japanese bath kimono, so I shouldn't be too hard to find. The booth is a Viking tent called Windsor Arms.

It's coming up, actually, from June 2-4. I'd come the 3rd, since that's the "public" day, and there's more to see and do. This is probably our last year doing this, since we both have lives. I just don't know how those SCA types can do it full-time. I have things to do!

Hope to see you there. We'll have lunch.

Actually, we used to sell this really nice Pirate Cutlass. We still have one, but it belongs to Chris. If he brings it, I'll show it to you. You'd love it. That's actually how I came across the Shakuhachi, via Japanese swords. Chris sells a very nice maker, Paul Chen, and I used to collect his swords. I stopped collecting, though, and decided not to collect weapons anymore; it's just a personal decision. Funny thing, though...I'm probably going to get a very nice Wakizashi from Chris for working the Faire. One little mini sword won't hurt.

I started playing about 2+ years ago, but I've never had any lessons. I still tend to play much better alone than in front of people, but I'm working on it.  What about you?
