The trip to San Francisco where I gave a presentation on monster movie locations and special effects went very well.

The event, "In The Footsteps of Godzilla," was well attended. The screening of Godzilla (1954) had about 150 attendees at the Roxie Theater in the Mission District of San Franciso. The theater holds about 200.

Following the screening and my presentation, we headed to the Izakaya Roku Japanese restaurant for the V.I.P. dinner.

Many thanks to Briana Burrows, Susan Watanabe, Eileen Tanaka and many others of the Japan Society of Northern California for making the event an enjoyable one!

And, last but not least, a special thanks to Tom Logan for initiating the event.
