I'd love it if we could start one up in Nagano (yes I live in Nagano, now, in Saku: my farl's just west of the city itself, just outside Mochizuki if that means anything) but so far I haven't found anyone else in the region. I was hoping to steal @kafkanarchy84 away from Niigata, but it looks as though things are really moving up there so I guess I'll have to do my own recruitment ;)
