Wao! So many great responses! I think we should have quite a nice merry group. Will need a big place to hold us all. Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe a nice hawker market with lots of tables and good foods. Really looking forward to meeting y...

Just got back from Comiket a couple of hours ago. Was outside most of the day so I think I might have gotten a bit sunburned. Stopped by Good Smile booth though. They were sold out of nearly everything, including all the plushies, but Akiyama-san...
