I will be actually getting on the 29th and staying my first night at the Crowne Plaza then. Can that get together be scheduled then? That sounds fun.

I see the Crown Plaza is in Ikebukuro. There is a plan afoot to have a Thorn Tree (Lonely Planet board) gathering -- called for some obscure Australian reason, a "pissup" -- currently scheduled for Saturday night, May 28, meeting in Ikebukuro. FTers are also of course welcome, anyone interested?[/QUOTE]

Darn, I think you'll miss it -- these gatherings tend to be held on Saturday night. But maybe we can do a FT get-toghether with mjm (who's local) on another night.
