RE: [tlug] Hiroshima Linux Users Group, soon coming

["Eric Oliver Flores" <tokoton@example.com>]

The internet cafe you mention is still here, been there only once.

I though about them today, I will visit them some time this weekend.

Fist I will make up a general letter to be sent to companies and prospective
sponsors with it I will try to recruit sponsors, get some donations and draw
attention to what I am trying to do here in Hiroshima.  I just hope that
there are interested users out there, their feedback will be the most
important thing to me.

My trip to US will take place after the 8th of Sep, I'll be in Taylor
Detroit, Wayne PA, and my home town Brooklyn, NY.

Y'know, there's an Internet cafe in that big shopping area--LOL, I still
have a discount ticket for 100 en in my wallet.  Shall I mail it to you?
(every little bit helps)  Seriously, it's called the I Love Yuu and they
were pretty nice there. All MS machines but who knows?

I have the address and phone number if you think it might be of any use.

See, that might be a good place to leave flyers?  I can get them left at
a dance school for you, but most of those folks really didn't seem
computer literate.

Where in the US do you think you'll be--Josh and I are both in the
Northeast--well, he's sort of the Northeast.  :)

Xander: I have my pride. Okay, so I don't have a *lot* of my pride,
but I have enough so that I can't do this.
