purplepenguin  just finished lacing a new dou and it's quite spiff.

the_ri  has just posted an account in which she and dustinmartinez (aka The Han Bastard) attended Outlands' Crown. The Hero Of China made it into the final five, which is pretty darn cool.

EDIT:    I just discovered that some of Han Bastard's fights are up on Youtube.

purplepenguin  heralded for them - and there are reports of a sighting of the rare and elusive Rocky Mountain Bushi and his lady.  

I miss my out-kingdom Asian peeps!   I miss Rising Sun. (Though I don't miss the mud in the slightest.) 

I'll at least get to see the Katayamas and takadai_no_tora  at GWW.
