I realize that DKos is not exactly the best forum in which to post announcements. If any of the developers are reading, it sure would be nice to have a calendar on which Kossaks could post event information :-)
Progressives in Japan have a couple of events coming up that are open to anyone who happens to be in the Tokyo area.
- Drinking Liberally Tokyo, tomorrow! Please feel free to drop by the Clubhouse sports bar in Shinjuku for our monthly Drinking Liberally event. It's a fun group of people and I can help you request your ballot for the '08 election, if you haven't already requested it (you can request it at the link in my signature).
- Democrats Abroad Japan will also be having a Unity bbq, Saturday, 6/21, 4pm~. There is apparently still space for this. If you'd like to attend, shoot me a mail telling me how many people will be coming & I'll send it to the organizer. They will be selling official Obama campaign t-shirts - to Americans - that were brought back from a recent trip from the states. Money raised will be used to help finance their Get Out the Vote efforts. You can see details about the bbq here:

Democrats Abroad Japan (DAJ) has events going on pretty much every week. They need volunteers for their voter assistance table at National Azabu Supermarket which they have every Saturday from 1pm~4pm. DAJ also has monthly movie nights, and assorted other events.
DAJ Kansai also has movie nights and my understanding is that there will also be a Drinking Liberally starting in the Kansai area.

If you're in Japan, check out the various events that are being held. And by all means, feel free to join Democrats Abroad. They register voters from every state and are eager to elect more, better Democrats in November.
I hope to see you! Feel free to ask any questions in the comments.
