^ So, being a good loyal supporter of Nisei related stuff, went to the post office to get some of those stamps. Went up to the counter and asked, "Do you have any Nisei stamps?" The lady behind the counter said she doesn't know what I'm talking about, what are Nisei stamps? After asking again, and she still didn't understand, I said, "The one with the soldier on it." She says, "Oh, you mean the Go For Broke stamps! Yes, we have those." And I bought some.

So, if anybody else decides to get some, use the correct term. Don't say "Nisei". I almost had a flashback to the time, for reasons I still don't know, I went into Little Caesar's and asked for a "lemon pizza". Bonk

I'm guessing Nisei Week is going to be virtual again, like last year. But they are going to have a Queen and her Court. Here are the candidates: https://niseiweek.org/queen-court/

After two years of a "Virtual Nisei Week" which meant no parade, no taiko, no nothing, Nisei Week will be returning for real this year: https://niseiweek.org/festival/

Down in Little Tokyo for Ohushogatsu. There's a new store in Weller Court, "Sora Gumi", if you're into that stuff. Couldn't find a website for the store but found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ4duENoyvU
