The greatest debt is probably owed to Forza, who took the burden of babysitting us throughout these few days. I cannot thank you enough for the hospitality for the past few days, even weeks before we got to Japan. If you ever find yourself headed to Singapore, do not hesitate to contact me and I hope to extend the same hospitality to you. (No rts here though boooo)

Forza was an amazing host, and was very patient and helpful every step of the way, even though he had a lot going on. I honestly can't thank him enough for putting up with a clueless foreigner like myself. I'm sorry I didn't properly introduce myself to either Vyrien or Hungrybookworm, but for what its worth, I enjoyed your company all the same.
Touhou is awesome by and large due to the community, and that is exactly what I've come to think of those who I've shared this journey with.
...also, I'm overjoyed with the bounty I acquired today: http://i.imgur.com/jLsWYm7.jpg

Such wonderful times we had, indeed. Thanks a lot to Forza for having been brilliant at leading the MotK Reitaisai Task Force. :)
I hoped I could have met every single one of you, but I think there might be some I have missed. I have been pretty solo on Reitaisai itself, actually, because no Internet access => could not manage to find anyone (except Forza at the Four Corners booth). ::)
Anyway, thank you for having been awesome ! :D

As expected with Forza you're in good hands. Sounds like you had fun.
I couldn't be part of the dinner because I had already dinner appointment with other people.
On the day of Reitaisai. it was fun to see Vento, Vyrien and Centurian. (All I can remember for now who visited our booth). I tried visiting other booths but time is really annoying limited. Still think Reitaisai should last until 16:30 instead of 15:30. While an hour may sound much of a difference, it actually quite is. Oh well, can't be helped.

Well, I think they would've allowed the selling part of the event to run a bit longer if they didn't have the other stuff lined up, but even Comiket only runs until 4 so exceptions are uncommon.
Glad everyone had fun at the various events, although give me too much credit. I simply wanted expose others to some of the more obscure things going on as a show of support. It's true the jazz concert might have sold out even if they didn't have 4-5 gaijin in the seats, but just the fact you were there probably meant something to the performers. It was the same reason why I shared my circle list. Ideally, you'd check most everything out ahead of time, but that can be really hard to do with no experience and even a modest grasp of Japanese. One of the cool things about doujin events is making discoveries on the spot, but if it's your first time, you'll be so overwhelmed that you might pass by with it right under your nose. And I have first-hand experience of how exhausting they can be even if you know what you're doing, lol.
