Manning the Chairman's Reception "tent." Behind the table clothes and the blue curtains, there are innumerable cases of Honest Teas, Kirin beer, Japanese soda, and Pocky.

Oh yes, and Wasabi peas <3

Drink selections! The Ramun soda has a marble as a cap. You have to poke the marble into the soda to drink it. We had the worst time trying to force the marble in (slamming it against tables, against the wall, etc) until we read the directions. Which are on the top of the soda. Duh. Then it was a piece of cake.

Japanese jazz musicians and street performers warming up.
