I totally agree and look forward to seeing you all. If there is any desire for this, I'd be happy to arrange for something in the Nagoya region. My ex-ex-day job (technology incubator) would probably be thrilled to have you all.
I'm in Kobe and would venture out to Nagoya for such an occasion. Anybody else in the Kansai area?
I'm in Kobe too, so Nagoya is definitely not so far...
