Last year was such a good time, and i too met some new kichi's to me. (both young and olde) LOL
You know, I don't think there is any finer teacher than Sakai-san and that was a big part of why I went but getting to know the folks who post here was huge. So I'm glad to hear your going as it will only advance your knowledge and make more friends.
I got to see Russ's and kari's place and just emerse myself in koi. I hope those who didn't get a chance to go last year will definetely plan on being there. I think we all owe a debt of gratitude to Peter's and sons for making it possible again this year.
