Edward: "LBC" originally stood for Long Beach CRIPS (gang). It's been sanitized to Long Beach CITY, which is what Fran was referring to.

I'm going on Sunday. There's something important we Bruin fans need to attend to. Taking the BLUE is a smashing idea though. It would just take to long Saturday to get back by 3pm. Shucks. Have fun, all!!

No need to stop volunteering just because you're out of high school! Most of the work is done by us non-HSers :)

where is the historical pavilion?
------------------------------ -------------
If you're referring to the Cultural Pavilion, you'll find it just south of the intersection of 2nd and San Pedro, next to the Hawaiian stage. I'll try to upload a map today.

I stopped by my office after the Linden Birthday Dim Sum at NBC. Thankfully I have monthly parking right in the middle of Little Tokyo, or I might have given up on it. It was OK. The same vendor booths that they seem to have at the Tofu festival and the Nisei Festival. I did not take any pics. Not as many food vendors this time, just a bunch of colored glass costume jewelry. Maybe I've seen too many of these.
