Wow. Is a movie made from the "enemy" perspective getting honored like this in the U.S. a first?

Hi Ian,

So, we meet again?

I will be coming to Japan, during the month of May (2007) for maybe 2 or 3 weeks.

I will be in the Tokyo area, attending a Wedding for So... Yes So san.

Well... I just thought, I should tell you; I know I may not see you but that will be ok.

Happy New Years.

See you around,

Steven Ramsay

Hey Steve!

Thanks for the message and sorry for the late response. I've been ignoring my home page lately cause I've been busy with work, among other things.

Looking forward to seeing you in Japan. It's been a long time, eh!?

May is still a little while away, but I will get in touch in the meantime (thanks for the address!).
