The Sakura Matsuri Festival

This past Sunday some of the crew went to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden for the annual Sakura Matsuri (Cherry Blossom) Festival.

We went with Joe, Patty, Kristen, Jordan, Maryann, Jeff & Susana and we had a really good time. There was a ton of stuff to see and do there. It was nice to do something outdoors for once (since we had been wanting to, but couldn't really think of anything good).

We walked around through most of the gardens, took a bunch of pics and watched some of the different performances at the main tent (including some Tanko Drumming, traditional Japanese music, a Geisha dance, and a martial arts exhibition).

You can check out some of the pics I took from the day here at picasa:

After the Festival, we went to a "Not Ray's" Pizza nearby, and then we went down the block to get a Red Velvet Cake from the Harlem Cake Man. It was a pretty pricy cake, but I actually wound up liking it! (Although that was probably b/c it technically wasn't made well... it's supposed to be like a mix of vanilla & chocolate cake that is dyed red with creamcheese frosting, but it tasted more just like a vanilla cake, and the frosting didn't taste like creamcheese to me, so I was happy, heh).

Then later that night, me & Ariana went to Phil's to see the WWE Backlash PPV, which was pretty decent (especially the main event). And that was our Sunday!
