Anime Festival Asia
Today at the office - folks from the Anime Festival Asia over from Singapore. Looks like I may be hosting some of the events at the AFA 09 when I come over to Singapore this November 21st and 22nd. Look forward to meeting you! Will bring the Mirai Figma with me.
Gordon, Can I borrow your armor for 2 days? ^^; (seriously)
Bits from last year below.
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.

Dan,
Talk is cheap. I am arriving in Tokyo on Saturday July 11, 2009. Where can I get my hands on Yoko Littner besides Amazon Japan? Will shops in Akihabara stock her? I prefer the one with the weapon gear, the scale and facial features are just incredibly life-like. Hope they are not metal as they may not pass Australian customs.
While I am in Tokyo, maybe I should drop in, shake your hand and take a picture with someone (who shares my interest)!
