Squid Hunt Fiasco
Many apologies to the contestants of the recent scandalous Squid Hunt. This is David (the L), who's running this contest. My view for the JapanTown FB wall is by default set to the "JapanTown Festival" filter. We didn't specify where exactly to post the galleries, which resulted in posts all over the page. After looking at the page hundreds of times, the other filters simply melt into the background, which resulted in me accidentally ignoring the "Just Others" link. We didn't expect it to be so complicated on Facebook! (Yikes!) We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and all bad feelings associated with this fiasco and I hope everyone understands that this is an honest mistake. I promise that any future events will have a much simpler system. Congrats to Vicky, the true winner of the Squid Hunt!

Squid Hunt
The winner for the Cool Japan Festival Squid Hunt is...Jesus Huero! Congrats for getting it up first on our Facebook page. Jesus wins a $50 gift certificate to Kinokuniya. It was a close competition, with only a two-minute difference between the first and second entries. Thanks to everyone who participated! It wouldn't have been fun without you all.
At the festival, many people and people of all ages were searching for the missing squids; we saw everyone from toddlers to adults taking pictures of them.
This event was unfortunately not without tragedy, as two of the squids got lost at different points during the festival. They were duly recovered, and traumatized with their squishy squid feelings, they sought refuge. One clung nearby one of his Fugu (puffer fish) accomplice friends, and the other decided to latch himself and his "L" onto a JapanTown team member! Additionally, we're aware of some people's confusion in posting, and in our next contests, we will be clearer in our instructions to post. We'd like to thank all of the diligent participants again for their enthusiasm in this activity.
