You already know about the event (I think) but this page has Stitchy merchindise that will be coming out and other stuff.

Osaka is famous for its takoyaki, and takoyaki are strongly identified with Osaka, so ... I guess it makes sense. o_O

Do you ever see No Reservations? Tony did a show were he ate his way through Osaka with a couple of hungry, hungry Japanese guys. Including the dumplings. Which made me hungry. Which his show usually does. ^_^

Nope, I've never seen it (no cable) but I've heard of it. *G*

They were all about the dumplings during one Japanese drama we've been watching recently, but the dumplings don't make my mouth water because I've had them a couple times. Bleh! Not a fan.

Yeah, that's an awesome photo set. I want the big Stitch on a rocket statue!!

Ya know what's sad? I can't even remember if we made it to Osaka, much less whether we sampled the famous octo-dumplings!!

Heehee. I had the same problem in China.

Maybe I should have tried the takoyaki in Osaka--maybe the ones in the Bay Area aren't as good. ;p
