I went to Danny Choo's Tokyo CGM Night Episode 2 (organized with the ubiquitous Andrew Shuttleworth) last Friday, a gathering of Japanese and gaijin geeks, super-bloggers, top vloggers, idols, media folks and what not.
For those not in the know, Danny Choo is a British guy who has been living in Japan for 10+ years now and runs a super-successful blog that covers things like anime, manga, figures, Japanese lifestyle and culture, gadgets, games etc. etc.
And here are five reasons why this man (who I met just three days earlier at "my" event for the first time) is awesome:
1) He personally invited me to that event.
2) The event was very cool.
3) He said I am his networking idol with Andrew Shuttleworth standing next to me.
4) He is a nice and decent man.
5) He put the only picture he shot with me in it up on Boing Boing, one of the top 5 blogs worldwide (TechCrunch is still lots bigger and better but whatever).
The pictures below are taken by me but Danny's blog posting features a lot more and much better ones.

Thanks for the report Serkan.
It's surprising how many people are starting to prefix my name with 'the ubiquitous'. Maybe I have a new brand there :-)
Next event is being planned and you can be sure you'll be on the guest list.
