Do you know those event planners where you can enroll in an event when you go there?
Like on Facebook, or Last.fm or Animexx.

Maybe it's just me but I find it quite pathetic if you enroll in an event if your not even planning to go.
Especially if it's an event in Japan.

It always seems to me that these people just need the attention.

Other than that, what are they getting out of it?

Ah, it's so me to get irritated over trivial things such as this ^_^;;
