BorCon - Taiko -vs- Bug Spray

Perhaps the funniest line for me at the conference came not from a speaker, or a conference attendee but my wife who I was IMing with during the Monday morning session. Hope you enjoy this little dialog that I though I’d share…

hi - I am live at the BorCon opening morning session!!!!
American Indians now on the stage! Banging drums!!! They look like they also know kung fu!

So they're having a pow-wow. Hope it's not an Indian rain dance or a war dance: D

lol -
Actually I think they are Japanese not American Indians but it's like an oriental river dance

Japanese and Indians don't exactly look alike.

They are wearing martial art out fits. One white guy in the mix the rest Asian
This is highly unusual for a BorCon. This is pretty cool!

Are you sure you're in the right place?

Now David I is banging the drum -- he's the conference host. So yes, I'm at the right conference!

Does it sound like Jimangi?

Yes - like Jimangi

San Jose Taiko - is their name.
Were told this type of music is used to chase spirits and insects from the field...Used to pray for rain, and give thanks to a bountiful harvest

I guess they don't believe in bug spray : D

lols
