Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. Sushi at 5:30AM this morning was a tremendous highlight, as was seeing old friends and making new ones.
I have to head home tomorrow to reprise my role as the Easter Bunny, so will miss out on all the fun events left, but I hope everyone continues to have a great time. Safe travels to all when the party is over.
Until next time...

Glad you are all enjoying it! once again, as I noted before-
Since I am overloaded at work (and been in Japan already twice this month), I had to pull out. Please have an Ebisu on tap for me, I'll send you some yen to cover it...

Dinner last night was a lot of fun. It was a great choice of venue, with our private room perfectly sized for the number of us. Intriguing food kept coming and the company was great. Good job, events team!

Who'se up for lunch? I'm thinking Omotesando so it's central to those of us in Roppongi and others in Ginza (e.g. Conrad, etc)....

For those who aren't going to the cruise tonight, JAL is retiring MD-90 from its fleet today (Mar 30 2013). Last flight JL1614 is scheduled to arrive HND at 20:55 in case someone is interested to go take some pictures.

On behalf of the organizing team, I want to say thank you again to everyone who came out to the dinner last night. Although I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off, I had a great time. I wish we had been able to stay longer, but we'll keep that in mind for next time!
Please enjoy the remaining events, whether you'll be going to Nagano, viewing the cherry blossoms, or coming on the dinner cruise this evening. The weather looks cooperative today, but tomorrow could bring some rain. Don't forget your umbrellas!
