to give a huge thanks to Mitsuhito Taniguchi of 
Art Shop Rose (rosearts.com - go there!); we met 
while in Tokyo and got together with his beautiful
family ^_^ and he took us to Nakano where we 
bought most of our anime stuff. ^_^ 
Arigato-gozaimasu! 

The "networking" I was thinking about isn't 
limited to cels - just anime stuff. See, some of 
the directions we found on the net were perfectly 
useless or contradictory (that, and they would 
use a McD's or KFC as a unique "landmark" -_-'), 
so we spent half our time getting lost. O_o' After 
all, Japan is famous for having VERY bad street 
layouts. NEXT TIME I'll be a lot more prepared...

jeeeet laaaaag
