On Saturday, the Dancing Fools attended the Rissho Kosei Kai bon dance in Pacific Palisades. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate and I ended up having to take shelter under my big golf umbrella several times throughout the night. Perhaps it was the rain that kept the crowd fairly small this year as well. However, they still managed to sell out of the grilled mochi before I was able to buy an order. At least I was able to enjoy a bowl of oden — which is one of RKK’s specialties.

The photos posted here were taken by Derek and Taro, who came equipped with camera gear that would make any photog do a double-take. I, on the other hand, was too preoccupied during the drier moments of the evening, then deterred by the rain once I realized that I was missing some great photo ops. We still have a few more bon dances on the schedule that I’ll be able to attend, so hopefully I will be able to muster the energy and motivation to do a videolog or two before the end of this year’s bon dance season.

At 30 weeks pregnant, I’m still dancing.
