Went to Ariake on 15Dec96, 2 weeks too early.  The convention halls are
well built and well ventilated, IMHO.

Just wonder, where did they help the cosplay event ?  Have not bought the
Comiket Handbook.  Too thick to read.

One reminder : if you want to go to other places in the Seaside Secondary
city centre area (such as Decks, Fuji TV, Telecom centre, etc.) by
YuriKamome, buy the one-day ticket (yen 800).  I bought a single trip
ticket in Shinbashi to Ariake for Yen 360, only to found out in Ariake
that there is a 1-day ticket for Yen 800 and you can exit the station and
back in again.  While in rage, I decided to walk instead of riding
the no-man (versus one-man) train on the way back (from Ariake to Decks,
then ride the ferry)!
