Apparently the upcoming Game Market 2014 Spring (June 1), a board game convention held at Tokyo Big Sight, will be greatly expanded from last year.
After that, he would definitely go to Retro Digital Game Expo 2014, a retro-focused convention by ZUN's friend D.N.A.
Whether he can actually go to these conventions, of course, depends on how much time he will allocate outside of caring for his wife and the newborn child.
A very quick catchup:
During Reitaisai 11, ZUN was happy to see there are more young people and women attending. He emphasized this during the interview in the after-party, and
tweeted about it again.
He tweeted about beating Kero Blaster, the new game by Pixel, the author of Cave Story, which you should totally buy when you can.
On May 12, his wife had gone back to her hometown for preparation of giving birth, and he was alone again.
By now you should have heard of the hidden achievements in ISC. The descriptions of the 9 all-scene achievements with tools tell you to tweet a password at him, and the description for the final achievement - clearing all scenes without any tools - says you should meet him in person to give him the password "I have become the Ultimate Rule-Breaking Life Form". Not long after release, people have been reporting to him their success.
(At this moment, perhaps more than a dozen people around the world have obtained the final achievement.)
On May 14, the media giant (and publisher of several Touhou books) Kadokawa Group announced a merger with DWANGO, the company that operates NicoNico Douga. He tweeted: "Not long before all of my work partners become Kadokawa." The joke is that: 1) Kadokawa has been on a path of aggressive expansion for about a decade, buying up many companies in the subculture space; 2) Ichijinsha, the other publisher of official Touhou books, is negligible in the face of Kadokawa, and let's be honest, exactly the kind of company Kadokawa may want to swallow up.
On May 19, he started a trip to his wife's hometown in Naoetsu. It seems the time for the childbirth will come soon.
On the same day, we also witnessed a ZUN-puts-foot-in-his-mouth moment where he had to justify himself afterwards, which happens from time to time.
A few days ago, ASKA, one half of the musician duo CHAGE and ASKA, was arrested when he was found to possess "illegal stimulants". On his train trip, ZUN tweeted:
ZUN: I'm listening to music arrangement CDs I received in Reitaisai, and entertaining the fantasy that some of these musicians will be successful enough to be arrested for drug possession.
Thank you, what a nice thing to say.
ZUN: The strong reaction to my chitchat about drugs was surprising. To be straightforward, I look forward to some musicians selling really well. But no matter how successful your music is, if you rely on drugs for your next song, you are done for. You absolutely can't!
ZUN: You sure can rely on alcohol.
