I asked what "Yosakoi" actually means, but was unable to get a straight answer. It makes them very excited. It must mean, like, free beer, or something.

The Yosakoi festival is a set of dance teams who must perform a traditional Yosakoi dance with their own clever additions or changes. They must sing the original Yosakoi song, but they can alter the rhythm, jazz it up, or remix to their hearts' delight. And generally, they must include a truck.

Pretty photos! Nice reference to Surf Ninjas. Sort of appropriate in a strenge sort of way!
What strikes me is the total immersion in color.....okay, so it took me longer to get the "free beer" reference....However, I think i saw the food trucks (why else would they be decked out in such colors?)over at the aviation museum in San Carlos....I think every tuesday they gather there, seen them from the freeway...Looks like a good time was had by most all.
