Apple Store Ginza

A quick note to mention that I will be presenting at the Apple Store in Ginza tomorrow night at 18:00 with Andrew Shuttleworth.
The topic will be about CGM and run to 19:00.

I will be there from 16:45 as I have a separate meeting with Apple and Kotobukiya regarding the Tokyo Figure Show that I'm organizing and need to shoot off for more meetings with Kotobukiya after 19:00 but will be around the event space before 18:00 if you want to meet for chats.

Actually will probably pop into the Volks store which is just across the road from Apple to get some hands for my daughters. If you are coming along then see you there.
Nearest station is Ginza and you can see more of it in the A Day in Tokyo 3 photo article.


If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    Somehow I have this vision of you being mobbed by fans like a rock star when you announce where you're going lol. But if more of us were there in Japan that would be a likely scenario ^_^

    Good luck on the presentation!

    Apple stores are awesome. I been to all three in Manhattan. I went to the grand opening of the midtown store. I had to wait almost four hours to get inside for the lines were incredibly and ridiculously long. I was there for 12 hours. They were drawings for a Macbook every hour. I didn't win though.

    Long time lurker, first time i felt compelled to post.

    I have no real strong interest in the CGM, only in a business/marketing perspective and I understand this is the purpose of the event.

    I'm more interested in meeting with yourself Danny and would like the opportunity to talk, however those sounds like weak reasons to go out of my way to attend.

    What are your thoughts?

        That sounds alot better, I also wouldn't want to get in the way as I imagine you'll be very busy.

    I can sense it somehow. :D
    I wish there was something like a Volks store nearby, the only real thing I have is to wait to see Dollfie related things at conventions. (Which happens to be in 2 days. lol)

    Did I miss something? What's the offsite thing you mentioned? Will there be more information on this in the future?

    i wonder how famous you are sometime like do you enter a store in Akihabara and instantly people recognize you? not just in Akihabara of course any electronic, computer, or Otaku store, or are you usually too busy to shop freely like that?

    Hi Danny,

    I actually went to the Apple Ginza store at around 5.30pm today and I asked the staffs (in my broken Japanese) about the event but they told me that they were unaware of any (I honestly think they couldn't understand me and thus the disappointing answer).

    Will you be speaking at any more events like this over the next 30 days? I would really love to meet up with you while I'm in Tokyo if there's any chance.

    Nevertheless, hope everything went well today!
