Japan Blogger Dinner
I am organizing something that I'm tentatively calling the "Japan Blogger Dinner" where Japan bloggers and IT folks can get together to network and share ideas.
The event will be held on Tue September 30th at the Weiden and Kennedy offices from 7PM. This pic was taken at a previous Japanese blogger dinner and there are more pics of the office in the Week in Tokyo 6 article.
The WK office is located in Roppongi opposite Tokyo Mid Town - their blog here.
Address is
7-5-6 Roppongi, Minato-Ku
Tokyo, Japan 106-0032
P: 81 3 5771 2900
F: 81 3 5771 2711
Cost is 1500 yen per person - cash only.
No smoking inside the building - please step outside to do so.
No getting drunk or rowdy - please go home to do so ^^
Only folks who receive the confirmation mail can attend.
A separate meeting will be held for readers too but at a later date. Look forward to meeting you.
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.

I didn't realize that people did these things. Its a pretty neat idea, but I can see the mad rush of people trying to get into the member meeting.

I can honestly see Steve Jobs give his approval to this idea.
That, and the fact I am wondering why he has not done something like this either.
???Confused???
Considering all the bloggers in the world a way bigger place would be needed...

Would love to attend one of these (writer or reader), but being in Japan is quite a necessity ^^ Which only is for 2.5 weeks per year. I like the idea very much.
