Thanks to everyone who helped out last year. Just wanted to give you a heads up that it's indeed a go to try again for next year (Sasuke 32). In the coming months I'm going to try to come up with fundraisers to help pay for the trip back over to Japan. I'm trying different things so people can get stuff in addition to helping me raise money. The first venture is the return of the Rambling Rican Calendar. 2016 Rambling Rican Calendar is the direct link to the store. This one is updated with photos from this year. Blog post is up! There are more projects coming up to help fundraise but this was the first one I can get online. They have other stuff like Shirts, mugs, hoodies and whatnot (that's new for this site) so if anyone is interested I can design one if people are willing to buy it. Hell I can design an SMF one if it will help. Provided I'm not asked to infringe on a copyright I'll consider it. Just trying a different approach than doing one huge fundraiser. That one this year shaved years off my life.. I was soooooo stressed.. So if I do a little at a time, I may be able to raise it in stages.

I'm hoping to help out again, though with school and related expenses I've been a bit low on cash lately, so it might be a while until I can make a decent contribution. I'll keep you informed!

I may actually be living in Japan at the time of the tourney.

I'm happy to say that on Thursday I'll get the calendar. I have MY OWN money I'm willing to spend for something as amazing as this. ^^

Thanks to an RR reader I fixed a duplicate photo. Seems the changes took (moved 1 photo and added another).

This is from Sasuke 31 but I'm really slow at getting this back up. It reminds me I need to upgrade my equipment and remind me that I need to record video during these things.. sigh... so it's mostly a slide show of photos. I hope to do a better job next time if it happens. Blog is up

Sometime in the next couple of weeks I'll be making a formal announcement on two distinct projects. Both will have fundraisers but at very different times (and size). I'll create a thread for each of the projects as they are distinct from each other in location (One in Japan one in NYC). Both are tied to Sasuke competitors. They are not competitions... I've been asked that a lot. However, both are fan celebrations and my hope is to get as much fan interaction as possible. I'm now currently looking for corporate sponsorship before I start the crowdfunds. I hope Sasuke fans will be excited when I finally announce them. I've worked reaaaaaaaally friggin' hard on them over the past year. I'll get back to blogging (USA vs. World, etc.) once I'm out of the first round of phone calls and emails.

Incredibly excited for your announcements. Knowing your dedication to Sasuke I'm sure both projects will be fantastic!

K now that I have a time frame for Sasuke 32 I'll be doing a fundraiser for that. The other 2 projects will happen later in the year so I have to shift my focus. The way I see it both projects I have yet to announce is after Olympics and Sasuke is before Olympics so I have to shift focus. LOL Again I should have the announcement by next week. I wanted a video to go out with it and I haven't had a chance to do it since I've been focusing on other things related to the projects.

If I end up going I'll try to schedule stuff better! LOL Added a video this morning answering questions from my YT comments since I don't have Google+ and can't respond to my own questions..
