    I'm stuck here in the Midwest USA, but that conference looks cool.

    I've always found it weird that Big Sight is "Sight" rather than "Site."

    I unfortunately will still be in Gifu grueling in the code mines, so I can't come out and see you^H^H^H^H Get some free swag

    I don't think I'll be able to make it to Big Sight, but I'd be up for a beer or eight in an izakaya around Shinjuku or so. You may pay in swag. :o)

    Alex, Why not you attend one conference in India?

    Several developers over here would love to meet you in person. I can take you to world famous Biryani restaurant in Hyderabad.

    Alex I am holding a small software conference 60 meters below the surface of the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf. Would you consider being a celebrity speaker at my conference, but most importantly posting a front page story telling your readers that you're going in case they want to fly out to Antarctica?

    While you're there, try to gauge if the Onion headline is true. The one that read "Earthquake knocks Japan back to the year 2027" (or something like that)

    Not 1896?

    No wait, that wouldn't be Onion material. 1896 was real. Not that reality would matter to Tepco or to the government employees who approved Tepco's operations.

    Not all there:
    I'm in Tokyo. Maybe I'll have to learn about this and then come and hit you up for a whiskey or something.

    That'd be great!

    Indeed! let's have a beer or two, or 53.

    IT in Japan is TRWTF.

    That picture scares me. Way to many suits. So a bunch of people that buy things but are technogoical morons got a free plane ride.

    In Japan, business suit == pajamas.

    The rest of that statement is not necessarily incorrect though.

    I would like to meet a technogoical moron. Tech -- no go!

    Wish I could meet you there. Down in Okinawa here. Construction companies aren't good at giving days off :(

    I would be interested in any DailyWTF related boozing / shwag grabbing on the Thursday / Friday evening somewhere on the yamanote line

    Okinawa... good times. Can you overnight some yakisoba from the Quick Stop in Henoko to me? I'd be willing to pay triple.
