After a long discussion with myself...I have decided to pros pone my trip to Japan for next year.
This year is just not realistic, since I will have other, more important event happening around the same time.
But all is not lost! I am still waiting impatiently for Mass Effect 2, which hits the stores on January 26th 2010 in the US.
Plus, I will have more time to prepare for my Tokyo trip next year!
Furthermore, I may plan a trip to San Diego or New York for this year's ComicCons...
We'll see.
