Oh, hey, don't apologize. It's okay, I was just sort of looking forward to my first MeTa post... : ) Have a safe trip to Japan, everyone.

5:30? Uh... most of us are working...

7 I might be able to make. 8 is more likely.

no prob, gen--we'll be at Ran-chu from 7 on...
posted by amberglow at 4:42 PM on May 8, 2006

umm... where's Ran-chu?

I'd love to join you fine folks, but I'm working late on Thursday and won't be likely to make it.

Oh, and I believe this is the Ranchu (蘭鋳) you're talking about.

Sorry I can't be there. I wish I could. I'll send you something from Kyoto after you get home, so you don't have to carry it around.

Ok, see y'all 9:30ish.

Damnit, come down to Kansai! Osaka's so much better than Tokyo!

Whoops. I kinda forgot something pretty darn important scheduled on Thursday, so I won't be able to make it after work after all.

Damn.

bugbread: No way! That's too bad. If all else fails I'll let amberglow use my keitai at the meetup so you guys can maybe reschedule something for another day during his stay.

hey, i'm late to this, but I might be able to make it. depends on how much I get done between today and the meet time of 7pm (at Hachiko, right?)
posted by saketini99 at 11:27 PM on May 9, 2006

saketini99: The plan was to meet at Hachiko around 6, and then wander around a bit before heading to Ran-chu (thanks armage for the link) at 7, where dydecker has made reservations for us. So if you can't make it to Hachiko at that time, just come over to Ran-chu.

BTW, turns out I might not make it on time to Hachiko, either, but I'll head directly to Ran-chu if I miss you guys.
