We arrived closer to 3pm. We lined up to get in the building a little after 4pm when the wait wasn't too long. We didn't get to see the third floor or some of the second floor because it too crowded. We met lyricaldanichan in the Kinokunia downstairs manga section.</p> <p>I took a couple <a href="http://www.nnanime.com/events/0908newpeople/" rel="nofollow">pictures</a>.</p> <p>The Japanese-style street festival that I'm most familiar with is the San Jose Obon Festival.
