I'm afraid I'm in the US for this one, but I'll see y'all next time.

If anyone here is on the fence about going, I strongly suggest it. I usually make the train ride all the way from Ogaki because it is the highlight of my month. Great people, great spectrum of involvement with the industry, and the right mix of talking shop and socializing.

I'll be there, thanks to Jason and Paul for putting this on. Great crowd and great location. Looking forward to it.

Hey guys - looking forward as always to Friday. See you all there.

Make sure you've registered (if you're coming), and you've un-registered (if you can't make it), so we can try to get the perfect amount of food and drinks there.

Cheers

So is the main language for this going to be English or Japanese?

English is the norm.

English is the norm.

Although, we're getting more and more Japanese people coming along as well, which we think is great.

So it's a bit of a mix. Suffice to say, you can be comfortable using only English, only Japanese, or both.

Wow I'm impressed that you come all the way from Ogaki to attend. That takes what, 4 hours?

Where in Tokyo? I can't attend, but I'm still curious.
