Re: Celebration Japan... can we see a show of hand

I'm one of the mystery 20. And really, it's only a mystery because nobody has really started posting in this forum yet. Heck, I didn't even know about it until yesterday.

Re: Celebration Japan... can we see a show of hand

The rest of the "mystery associates" probably aren't even reading this forum and since their attendance isn't really a secret, here they are. I think the count is off because that should be it.

Ed Albano
Mark Salotti
Oscar Didier
Gus & Pam
Duncan and Anne Jenkins
Luis and Josefina Galvez
Alex Bickmore

Re: Celebration Japan... can we see a show of hand

Hi guys, long time no see.

I might make it over, but am not 100% sure yet.

And who in their right mind made John a moderator? You're all nutters!

I liken my situation to The Nanny... I was there, or rather, here (Japan)

Hoping for a good result with those CJ plans of yours, Andy

Re: Celebration Japan... can we see a show of hand

Shane and Karlee aren't going afterall. They would rather spend money on a house. Sheesh....

Re: Celebration Japan... can we see a show of hand

The medallions look FABULOUS. Jeff and Mattias did a phenomenal job.

Thanks Alyssa, much appriciated

It was so much fun designing them,
and Chris is really a big part of them too! A great team to work with!

Unfortunately I won't make it to CJ

Too many huge expenses the next
couple of months. I'm sure you all will have a blast.

Re: Celebration Japan... can we see a show of hand

Mattias - I was telling Andy to bring loads of cash to Cjapan so you could visit the "Bank of Andy" again!!! hehehe

Looks like we have another addition! Tony Damata is 95% sure he is attending. Woot!

Re: Celebration Japan... can we see a show of hand

i envy you all who get to go to Japan!

I haven't been there in almost 20 years but I can recommend some places.

Since you are all making the effort to go there, don't forget to sightsee!

You gotta check out the electronics! Way more advanced than the US and some items, you'll never see here.
Go to akihabara, the electronics meccha of Japan and perhaps the only place you can haggle. If you can't, check out Yodobashi Camera or Bic(or Big) Camera - their version of Best Buy.

Cool toy store in the Ginza district is Hakuinkan - 5 floors of all toys!

Shinjiku is the red light district if you are into that....

Shibuya is a hip town near Shinjiku and has trendy stores and eats.

Harajuku, like the Gwen Stefani song is a cool place to see young Japanese teens garage bands rock out on weekends.

Roppongi has the famous Hard Rock Cafe tokyo and has just as many tourists as locals. Practically, everyone speaks English their.

Prepare to eat a $5-6 big mac as they have all the chains - McD's, Wendy's, KFC, Dunkin Donuts. For the adventurous, try Japanese fast food places Lotteria (actually a Korean candy company but makes fast food) and Mos burger (get a burger sandwiched between two rice ball patties instead of bread).

Like Noodles - Get the Ramen! my favorite. Chinese style noodles with a Japanese twist!
