Mark's Going Away Party

So last night, the members of BAAU and I threw our friend and fellow member Mark a going away party last night. In October, Mark is moving to Japan to be with his girlfriend Sayaka who currently lives and works in Japan. I would like to extend my best wishes to him in Japan. I really appreciate the friendship he he has extended to me in this past year and a half of knowing him. Hopefully this is not the last we see or hear from him. Oh and thanks to Hojo for letting us use his place to hold this party!

Green Tokyo Gundam Project (Finished)

Here is some follow up to my previous post about a life size Gundam being built in Japan, as the project looks finished.

"Starting this July, the statue will be available for free public viewing for two months at the Shiokaze Park on Tokyo's artificial Odaiba island. The theme of the three-phase Mobile Suit Gundam 30th Anniversary Project is "Always Beginning." The life-size Gundam represents the "Real G" phase of the project, while this August's Gundam Big Expo convention represents the "Feel G" phase. "Soul G" will be a collaborative music event planned for the Gundam franchise this year." - Anime News Network

Green Tokyo Gundam Project

So it appears in Japan, a giant life size Gundam is being built. From the information I gathered, it is being built as a memorial of sorts and will be finished in time for a 30 year anniversary Gundam exhibition. Either way I think the fact a life size Gundam is being built is pretty awesome!
