      We should make it happen!

      Is spring 2019 (April or possibly May) too soon?  The big unknown is when the supplier shows will take place, and that does dictate when our retailers, and therefore IHUK, need to be in town.

      We could ask Haraki san to kindly host a day at Hachioji, as well as doing some "strategic" (read drinking and eating) gatherings in Tokyo.

      Do let me have your input, and we'll work towards setting some dates so that folks can investigate travel.

      Just arriving at Haneda, leaving Japan today  😞 - what better time to start planning another visit?  😉

          I think we probably would not make this just a weekend trip but a longer stay.
          With advanced notice we have no constraints. Q2 2019 and later would be great.
          Exited already! 😉

                We were already talking about at possible Japan trip in 2019.  This all but guarantees that happening now…

                  april/may seems quite close to sakura season. this might mean higher airfare and accomodations and such.. any such shows for the later half of the year?

                    The Fall/Winter show is the best show to see and that is shown in April/May

                      Spring/ Summer collection is usually in Q4, that we could do  😎

                        I'd prefer Q4 but I hope to be in whatever. Is it mandatory to bring WAG's or can I leave Hot Ingrid in Norway?  😃

                          OK, so if you don't give a frig about which collection you see, we will aim for Oct/Nov 2019.  And, we don't care who you do or do not bring…..

                                Oct/Nov works better for me.  April/May is right around HS graduation time for my oldest.

                                  Arrived in LA to beautiful temperatures.  Thrifty had no "economy cars", so they gave us a 4x4 - aint complaining….

                                  Drove up to Yucca Valley, which seemed to take forever, courtesy of the LA freeways, now safely ensconced in a Super 8 (it isn't really)…..

                                      The brands show collections twice a year.  That is when I have to be there (not to see other collections, but that is when most retailers are in town so we take that opportunity of showing ours too).  So our dates are immovable.  Once we know the dates (usually not until about 5 months before the trip) we will publish.  We normally go for a week or so, but peeps could go for shorter or longer, hang-out together, do some travelling etc etc…..

                                        Super intrigued at the idea of a japan gathering…never been and I’d love to meet some of you fine fellas face to face. I was bummed I couldn’t make the Gosport gathering last year. I ran the idea by my wife and it seems promising  😉

                                            @Giles  You two are not far from Amboy ca. on Route 66. It is a ghost town with it;s famous Roy's Cafe. A good place to take photos. At this time Amboy has 4 people living there. check it out. From Joshua Tree just come up Amboy road to Route 66.
