http://www.eventbrite.com/e/japanese-to ... 0982004471I know that this exhibit has been showing at the airport, but there was NO way to access the exhibit, unless you had a boarding pass, as the museum exhibit is beyond the security check point. The JSNA is organizing this special tour, so that you can see the toys without having to have a flight ticket, but for ONE night only.
I would really love to go, but when you register online, you need to provide some sensitive information (birthday
and driver's license or passport ID), in addition to your address. I'd rather not type in all of that info and send it electronically (identity theft possibilities!), and it might be a deal breaker if I have to do that! I called the event coordinator, Briana, and she is going to see if we can just submit a driver's license number, and provide the rest of the info at the time of the event. She says that Airport Security-TSA, is asking for all of that info, so we'll see...
Anyone out there interested in attending?
Where are all of you BASKERs!
