As I wrote before, they had sold only twenty tickets early this week for the lecture in Osaka.

Besides, the organizer Tabuchi san got hospitalized with duodenal ulcer. Yumi says, "Telling the truth, I was worried" to open the door.

However, once it was open, people kept coming in, and the house was FULL!! Another miracle happened. On top, Tabuchi san got out of hospital, and fulfilled his responsibility as the organizer. I bet that article on the front page on Senri Times definitely helped. ;O)

They have now, Kobe and Okinawa events left. Kobe has got 25 seats reserved out of 70, but for Okinawa, it seems they haven't even sold 20 tickets when the capacity is 1,000. :o(

(This excerpt is from an anonymous comment posted at the CommonDreams website. If a secret program like Godzilla exists, it would certainly explain a lot of things, but we really need a statement under oath, IMO. -rep.)

"The result was a secret program called Godzilla. This program is in part a secret building code by the terms of which structures deemed of concern must submit a plan for demolition that FEMA keeps on file. Planned buildings over a certain height must submit a demolition plan along with a construction plan and the construction plan must include facilities and features within the structure and machinery for the potential installation of demolition explosives."
