[sumo] GREAT ANNOUNCEMENT

[Linda Dizi]

 My friend Nancy and I were having dinner at one of 
 our favorite Japanese restaurants in Los Angeles when
in
 walked Musashimaru and Akinoshima and entourage
 (we were tipped off they would be there by the sushi
chef),
 including one of the local amateur sumo stars.  I,
 the shy, retiring one, dashed over and after only a
 seconds hesitation, leaned over the seated
Musashimaru
 and asked if we could take a photo.  He gave a very
 small, shy smile and nodded. Snap!  Then, looking
 inquiringly at Akinoshima who nodded, I zipped around

 the table and had Nancy take our picture.  Nancy
refused to
 have her picture taken, as she said she was having a
very
 bad hair day.  In the meantime, she grilled the
organizer 
 and learned that sumo will come to LOS ANGELES 
 in JUNE 2008 for 2 days at the L.A. Sports Arena,   
 We then left them in peace to enjoy their dinner and 
 saw Musashimaru and Akinoshima cheerfully
 eating HUGE plates of toro, etc. as we left.  The
 strange thing (to us) was that no one else, except
 for the sushi chefs, knew who these esteemed
customers
 were.  Hope to see everyone on the list in Los
 Angeles next year!
