Can't wait to see your table. Any Jrock table is amazing and I will certainly be a customer.

[Rika]

I hate to do this, but I won't be doing this this year, I mean, it may happen down the road but.
A. I'm going to school full time
B. I'm working part time which isn't really bringing in dough, so very little funding
C. The current economic situation is meh, so I'd probably end up going into debt and not making any profit or break even.

Sorry guys..
They should srsly invite JpopHouse.com for the dealers room.

[saraht3hpixie]

Poor Rika.

[Insanity]

Speaking of J-Pop, anybody know a good place to get some? (Perferably free, but if you know of a local store that sells them, thats A-OK too )
