So I actually organized a MeFi meetup in Japan in 2003 (it's in da archives) but haven't done so since then. It's obvious from the broadband thread that we have a handful of Tokyo MeFiers.

How about a meetup sometime soon? Nov., say before the bonenkai season heats up. Friday night? Or is Sat. night preferred? Or a weekday night?

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are the best for me, but I could come probably any evening except Monday.

I dunno man, if I showed up I'd have people beating me up as proxies for other mefites around the world...

Well, I'll miss this one by a closer margin than any of the other ones I haven't been to.

Drink some fine Japanese beers in my honor, while I choke down some Korean ones in yours!

I'll be in Tokyo on 10/29 and 10/30 (coming from Europe on 10/29, so might fall asleep around 9 or 10pm).

I'm going to be massive busy in November, cramming in work hours in order to free the later part of the month to visit my parents in the US for Thanksgiving...

I'll be in the suburbs of Tokyo (near Tachikawa) from Nov.7 to Nov. 22. If meet-up is in that time frame, I may be able to attend, depending on family obligations.

I'll only come if it's not all guys.

Can I make a request that those of you who don't have emails in your MeFi profiles either please add them or contact me via my email so I can create a list?

Sour Cream- I think the 29th/30th is a bit too close for us to plan for (imo.) We can shoot for a timeframe where birdsquared can join us, i.e. mid-Nov. 11th or 12th or 18th or 19th?

dydecker (or anyone else), feel free to bring some women...

I'm in, especially if it's on a weeknight (including Friday), and even if it's not. At least I think so, kinda positively.
