(2) SATURDAY May 13, 2006, 11:00 AM
The First Akihabara Tour of 2006

Tour Electric City with Mr. Akihabara

Sigi Rindler, our very own Mr. Akihabara, will lead
a tour through the twist and turns of the back streets
and thoroughfares of Electric City in search of cheap
deals, trustworthy shops, and a decent lunchtime meal.

Need a new motherboard but on a tight budget? Looking
for an old Pentium III CPU? Have an urge to play games
but can't find any in English? Finally decided to junk
the CRT and go TFT?

Then join us for several hours of slogging around the
hustle and bustle as we brush shoulders with the Otaku
of Tokyo to fulfill your needs, or at least point you
in the right direction.

The tour departs from the Sato Musen / Clock / Ticket
Machine side of Akihabara JR station (left after exiting
the gates) at 11 o'clock *SHARP* on Saturday May 13th.

Be there beforehand to avoid disappointment, or being
left to wander around on your own.
