Hi Jakob,

I'll be staying with friends in Chatsworth and will be there approx 5-7 days (will know soon).

Chatsworth is just a stones through from OSULA in Studio City.
3921 Laurel Canyon Boulevard, Studio City
http://www.osula.com/html/maps_info.htm
Wednesdays 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Fridays 7:30pm - 9:00pm • Advanced jigeiko 9:30pm*
*followed by food and beer at a near by Japanese ramen house

If I were you, don't think I would pass up the Wednesday night opportunity to play with Inouye2 and his gang if you don't mind fighting the 405 traffic...
:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:what ??? ramen house? man , I think I'll have to swing by on Friday soon , and then maybe we can have that beer together ..

Ok, the trip is on!. I'll be in LA from the 21st to the 27th, so I'll come and annoy you guys in Venice on Wednesday the 22nd?.
Small change of plans means I will be staying in a hotel the first couple of days, probably in Santa Monica.
Friday sounds tempting, but not sure I can make it...ramen & beer is a good combination, though...maybe if I can lure my friends along to watch. (doubtful, but worth a try).

Cheap Japanese food and draft beer might me a good draw...rev up for the clubs. So long as you have DD. :wink:

It would be great to meet you if you have the time. Some people just come for the jigeiko starting about 9:15ish. Depending on the amount of sensei we finish between 10-10:30. We're a flexible group.

i plan to be in LA by the end of September; coming down from Vancouver BC (I grew up within the LA vicinity). I started kendo there but I moved before i had the chance to fully experience S. Cali kendo; i hear kendo is strong there because of the diversity of LA. I want to see the SCKF Championship, can you tell me where its going to place and when its going to start.

thanks
