I have many friends on these two MLs, so I'll just announce it here. 
Besides, I'm trying to meet new people...  I promise that any followups
will be answered in e-mail. 

=====
I'll be in Tokyo, Japan for a business trip.  However, I have been told 
that I will have *excessive* amounts of free time to do what I want.

PLEASE come out and visit!!  I didn't expect to return to Japan so soon.  
I sure hope that I can meet Hitoshi Doi and Chris Drome this time.  So 
why not come visit, too?  Sillyness and surprises follow wherever I go, 
and I'll need a local guide to point out important things like used manga 
stores (^_-).

Right now, this is when I'm planning to be in Japan:
   Arrival in Narita, Tokyo:      August 24, 2:05pm (this is a Saturday)
   Departure from Narita, Tokyo:  August 31, 5:20pm (also a Saturday)

Hotel that I will be staying:
   Century Hyatt in Shinjuku, Tokyo.  15 minutes from the train station.
   Free shuttle from the train station if you're lazy like me.

Also, if you tell me that you are coming to visit me beforehand, I will 
gladly smuggle in American goodies for you.  Texas makes some VERY good 
beer, for instance (^_-).  I can also get all kinds of other things, if 
you let me know what you want.
   (Hey, Joe Petrow, you said that I never bought you free beer, so here's
your chance!  ^_^)

Any questions or comments?  Send me e-mail!
