About SeattleTaiko.info SeattleTaiko.info was born out of a desire to stop missing local taiko performances. I noticed a disturbing trend where I was finding out about taiko performances after they had taken place! Obviously, that just would not do. I checked around and noticed a few resources for such information, but they're all sadly out of date or very incomplete. So, see a need, fill a need. The schedule as currently posted took me about 4 hours of research to put together. I'm hoping to make this an easier process. I intend to make SeattleTaiko.info a place where taiko performers can create a (free!) account, and post notices of upcoming taiko performances. Users of the site can see the schedule of upcoming events, or they can create a (free!) account, and be automatically notified when a new event has been posted. I don't plan on ever charging anything for using the site. This information is primarily for me, but I don't see any reason not to share it. The more successful the local taiko groups are, the more likely there will be more performances for me to see. The principle of enlightened self-interest at work... The site will eventually (soon?) be all high-tech and stuff, and will have discussion forums, polls, and what-not, but for now, the barebones schedule on the home page is what there is (and is really the main focus of the site). If you know of a local taiko performance I don't have on the schedule, please let me know! By the same token, if you know of a local taiko group, please let them know about the site. I'll be contacting the ones I know about soon myself, but there's always the possibility of a new group I don't know of. Please help spread the word! By 'local,' I mean in the greater Seattle area, or within fairly easy driving distance - as far south as Portland (or perhaps farther for larger events), and as far north as Vancouver, B.C. Sadly, I've currently got nothing listed for Vancouver at all. As far as going east, I guess anything in the state of Washington will suffice for now. I'd rather have too many performances listed than too few! If there's a really huge taiko event, it may not matter where it's at - something like each North American Taiko Conference will probably always get listed here, wherever it's at. It's always good to travel!
