Listening to Kodama-san speak in Japanese and then having it translated by Taro was a very memorable moment for me. The "Passion for Koi" is a universal language that poured out in the presentation. I will never forget it.
I am looking forward to a similar event in Las Vegas, of course coupled with a major win at a poker table and possibly a super sexy tosai for the trip home.
BONE, please give more details on the other event that is driving distance from California.
