I'm planning to arrive Monday or Tuesday before the con, in order to have a couple of days in which to dash around Tokyo/Yokohama like an insane person, taking in as much as I can before the con starts on Thursday.

Check out this article in the San Francisco Chronicle (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/12/10/TRG01MRNIR1.DTL).

The article makes it sound like a terrific idea. Interested?
