61st JASC kickoff!

In just a few days, the 28 members of the American delegation will fly into Seattle from all over for the American Orientation (AO). We are all super excited to see you all in person (no more emails and skype meetings)!

Pre-AO begins on the 21st, where the AECs will be preparing for the Amedeles' arrivals. Rachel will be coming from NYC, Karen and Yoshi from Philly, Durkin from Akron, Colin from Connecticut, Mina from Houston, Ed (who lives in Seattle) and me from Tokyo.

The AECs havent gotten together since Spring Meeting in mid-March, so I assume we'll have the same late-night-food-binging-talk-talk-talkingg parties at UW campus. And maybe bump into Ichiro on the streets? (hmm...)

The Japadeles will get together in Tokyo on the 26th and await our arrival to Tokyo on the 28th. I met a few of them in Tokyo and they're all excited to meet the Amedeles, too.

See you all soon~
