The JASV's Matsuri '15 has come and gone. It's hard to believe after preparing for six months that it's over so quickly. Of course, there are still many loose ends to tie up, but soon it will all be a memory until we begin preparations for 2017. Thankfully, that's 1 1/2 years away. Many people have expressed regrets that we don't present the event every year. My response has been that we don't have the money or the volunteers to support an annual Matsuri.
Thanks to the help of my Danish friend Elizabeth, who is a member of the JASV, I was able to display everything I'd hoped to. And thanks to a younger member, Piotr, I had someone diligently keeping an on eye on my exhibit when I needed to take a bathroom break or chat with someone. He was rather shocked to see so many people touching things even though there were signs saying "DO NOT TOUCH" right in front of them. It never ceases to amaze me no matter how many times I set up exhibits. I can understand young children touching since they don't know any better: but adults touching I just don't understand.
Well, I'm rambling and should get into bed with my Elizabeth Peters' mystery.
Happy reading!
