As opposed to cute, sexy eurotrash armed with hurdy gurdys, right? In keeping with tradition, I see we have yet ANOTHER photo of Otagiri-dono's back. I packed a camera - and never took it out of my bag. I have NO photos of this war. S.

;DI have this dogeared, yellowed fortune taped to my refrigerator - it has been taped to every refrigerator in every apartment I've lived in since 1998. "Keep charging the enemy as long as there is life" just seemed like a keeper to me....

If only I had been a member of this board before Estrella, I would have loved to have arranged a meeting with you all. But thankfully our wonderful moderator approached me on the field of battle (after we were both deceaced) and told me of this wonderful place. Oh well, next year we need to have a big "eastern" get together on Saturday night. Much sake and sumo must be had!

Yagyu-dono, I approached Our Esteemed Moderator about trying to host a gathering, but life kind of got in the way for him and I was hesitant to try to run with it on my own. (For one thing, I'm not sure how my non-Japanese campmates would've felt about it.) Next year, I will don my Big Dogs (TM) kosode and not be such a wimp. I'm usually a bit more of an alpha than that.... I'll pour - and applaud the winners. Saionji no Hanae West Kingdom

I'll bring the yakitori and gyoza! Oh, and Tokyo Rose fixins! I just need to find appropriate gifts to shower Unca Flieg et al with. Hmmm....

I'm willing to help organize the get together, and maybe even offer up my encampment if it is possible (I will know as we get closer to the event). I may be able to get my western friends to throw on hakama for the evening.

Seeing all the pictures and hearing all the stories really makes me sad that I missed yet another event....
