Man, looks like you had a blast! Meeting all of those people must have been awesome. GeekOut Girl from the HC is hawt.
Damn man! Looks like you had a great trip...lots of toys and er, pretty ladies! Good times. For the unitiated, who is Colin?
Colin is Uncle Colin from London, England - the main reason for this trip was because I had a week off, and thought I would take him to the Grand Canyon, then thought NY, and then thought TOKYO! He is 75 next birthday, and who knows how easy future travelling will be? He has always admired Japanese culture and art, so for him, this was a trip of teh lifetime! I know cos he told me
wow Carl! It looks like you had an amazing time, and I'm glad you got to spend time with your uncle on a great adventure like that!
By the way, everyone I hung out was amazingly friendly and cool! Mark took a day off to hang all day with me, and run all over tOkyo, resulting in: Don did the same a day or so later, and took me over to Tokyo Big SIght for Hobby COmplex. He also has a great bunch of friends, and knows EVERYone! Tomi gave Colin his bracelet to ward off bad vibes! Oh, and it's true, the bag was teh size of a small child: Koji and Rika were charming and great fun, and teh Gargamel boys made me very welcome at Thrash Out. Mori radiates good vibes and friendliness - super rad! Hiddy is extremely funny and great company, and Chica made lots of fun of me, which is always a good sign! The Popsoida/Spooky Parade guys rocked my world with their good time punk rock vibes..... I could go on and on....and I probably will!!!!
What GREAT photos of what was obviously an extraordinary trip. Looks like so much fun muton. Thanks for sharing/posting. Coolness.
OK, Carl. What did you do to Cosmo? He looks like he's about to cry. It looked like an amazing trip, btw.

Thanks for sharing the pics Carl. Looks like you had such an awesome time. You're good stuff for always seeking the people out that make the stuff you enjoy and I'm sure getting the chance to meet them adds a whole new level of enjoyment to your collection.
