Omikuji

Omikuji are fortune telling paper slips found at many shrines and temples. Randomly drawn, they contain predictions ranging from daikichi ("great good luck") to daikyo ("great bad luck"). By tying the piece of paper around a tree's branch, good fortune will come true or bad fortune can be averted.

something like this could work, Juz, any of your Japan society people able to figure out the fortune telling aspect of it?

Actually Pat, you might have something.

In Japanese temple grounds they often have trees - bare ones - with leftover fortune wishes made of paper tied to them.

So you can get to work on the day with pink paper whilst yours truly can dress up in Shinto priest robes to bless each car that goes by...

(which is what I saw being done in Kyoto when I was there - shouldn't be too hard on an old man).

Yes Patty, we can do Omikuji ^ ^ ^

Guys as We discussed at the AGM This Most probably will be an Official Event, And There WILL Be Limited Spots.. So once everything has been finalized we will be able disclose all the Infomation neccesary, The date most probably will be towards the End Of July.

Pat, Omikuji can be made but there really isn't anywhere to hang them. But Please I can't stress enough we can't have loose confetti floating around the place mate.

Also We have Flags, Banners, Etc that will be outside to decorate the place. I Need to see if any of my chef friend's would be keen to do the lunch for us, If not A Sausage sizzle with a hint of Japanese will be organised by myself and included in the Final ticket Price.

yeah i cant wait.

the trees not close enough to the action to bother decorating? maxima hs a special temporary glue that will stop the confetti floating around..at worse i will just get some rope and have it hanging around the trunk like they do at those shrines to protect the sacred tree spirits.

I know it sounds a bit hippy but i have seen it a few times in manga so it has an edge of geeky coolness for me, also i have a friend about to finish at the College if fine arts, he decided he needs some models for his latest project..

Kabuki facepainting!

looks something like this

sorry for the bare shoulders but i did crop out even worse...anyway it takes about an hour and when i told him about this event he said he was happy to come out and offer facepainting in exchange for for sake etc.

I have contacts with some other facepainters who also do it pro bono but they are chinese, similar kind of thing but not exactly 'authentic da neh?'

what do you guys think? also he is looking for some volunteers to finish his art thing, isnt paying but its fun for a lark and he will of course provide you with glossy's of your own to blu tack to the inside of your toilet door. COFA is in Paddington which is also where the studio is.

Of course for the sake event i would bring him out to us but if anyone wants to help out sooner they need to travel there.

PM me for more info.

cant think of anything cooler than a bunch of us driving out of there with faces like that..getting pulled over on the way home? priceless.

Also making some inroads with a japanese couple who play traditional drums.

think the soundtrack to Akira.

tell me your not excited?

Look Pat now you've gone and got Genelle all excited

yeah im a bit worried, pretty sure i shared a room with her during the SAU nats and no untoward molestation occured towards either party..sigh.

whats all this talk about fur? my chest? i thought i cropped that out damnit..

lol Maxima, im not sure ill need that much tree glue but thanks for the thought. keep them on standby for me!

That's the confetti you asked for. I don't make the glue, we only do paper products and consultation. I've sent away to Germany for your special glue, should be here by next week, it's being flown over, Lufthansa FTW.

I did half sized barrels as I wanted it to be a bit easier for you guys to move around, like I said the full sized 100kg barrels are a little cumbersome, especially with no cranes etc.

So yeah, you have 200kg of confetti here when you need it. Probably easiest to wait for the glue and get it all at once.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
