Trust me.. you aren't the only one saying that.. I know I'm in a coveted position to go to Sasuke to see it. I wish it was a lot more open where people can get audience tickets and stuff like that. They aren't there yet. They will have a lottery for the audience again this year. If anyone is in Tokyo around that time I'd strongly urge to sign up for it (ONLY if you are already there - don't take someone else's spot or fake an address). Not sure when that will be online but will update those pages when they are live. Either way, I'm extremely grateful ya'll have been super nice and helping me. I know this is the last fundraiser I can hold on my own. I got a lot more hate this year .. like.. a LOT more hate this year for asking for a 2nd time. I'm hoping to make up for it by doing a much better job in videos, etc. Ya'll get to see the awkward in front of camera person.. I much prefer being behind the camera. Either way thanks guys for being so nice to me. Seriously, it's been a rough year in general and your support means a lot to me.

I'm sorry to hear so many were hating on the fact you got to go a 2nd time and not anyone else. I'll be honest to say I would probably be in that same boat if it wasn't you and it was someone I hate with a burning passion. I hope one day out of nowhere someone invites me to see the taping kinda like how you did. Didn't Jin invite you and that's how this all started last year?

Yeah Jin and I have been friends for a few years now and invited me to go. It was an incredibly experience and luckily I didn't make an idiot of myself. LOL I was welcomed warmly by the crew over there (some of whom know me through monitoring my site.. LOL). TBS is always worried about yahoos going over there disrupting taping or worse.. spoiling the event before airing. I'm happy that they were pleased with my behavior there enough to say that I'm welcome to return. That said I'm returning on a guest pass again and not TBS. They don't do what M9 used to do (they in the past had their own guest list). Things are MUCH stricter these days.. hell.. Inui personally doesn't have a guest list.. how messed up is that?
I know... Man TBS is kinda out there. I can't be angry at them since they're keeping SASUKE afloat but strict is an UNDERSTATEMENT!
When the show came back, it came back without M9. M9 used to have just about open borders until certain people broke code and crashed it. They started to change policy on controlling who gets in and out of that place. When M9 went down and TBS took over, they hired a security firm to independently take care of security. They ended up opening up spaces for the general public (thus the lottery) but shut down open spaces for others. That included TBS staff's friends. It's a way to clamp down on the thru-traffic and keep the taping from turning into a zoo. I don't blame them for wanting to keep the show quiet (spoiler wise) but it's rough that they can't even bring 1-2 friends. The way they see it.. they are there to work.. not watch a show. Those are reserved for fans. Still though, that's harsh.
Anyway, back on topic I put a clip on Instagram. Still getting used to that platform. No idea how to link the video directly here.. if anyone can figure that out that would be great! I plan to put more photos and video there and copy to Twitter for the trip so I'm testing stuff out before I go.

They cannae even bring their friends??? Shame on TBS and the security firm they hired. It's like Donald Trump/David Cameron's running the place!

Don't inject politics into this. I abhor it with a passion. As for TBS not doing that, at least it is unilateral so everyone is feeling it. If you saw what it's like to run something like this and try to keep spoilers from coming out you'd understand.
