havok*: See you there. You can book or buy tickets on the day. I would recomend booking however.

Dave: ??? We've been talking with Manga for a couple of months, and they are sending a representative over. If they did not exist anynore, I'm sure they would have mentioned something.

Belisarius: I'm sorry to hear that. I think it is too soon to be asking if there is even going to be a next one. We have to see how this one pans out. There is talk of letting another universtiy do it next year if we be unavailable though.

In other news, we were talking to ADVison, and they are generously sending us a special preview copy of "Sakura Wars" as well.
