That's what I'm thinking. He probably has no idea how far away they are in kilometers. From looking at the US as a whole, they look really close together, but if you explained to him that they're further away from each other than Tokyo and Osaka are, he'd probably think, "Oh, that's pretty far." Japan is only about the size of the state of California. People like him can't really imagine that the entire island of Shikoku could fit inside any of the Great Lakes from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. I'm sure he just doesn't understand the real world distance.

Hopefully he'll see the light, though.

Yeah I hope so too. I explained all that, I'm sure if he's a reasonable man he'll be willing to go along with it. We'll see. Again thanks for all your help man

No prob. He seemed pretty reasonable and sociable in his e-mails to me as well. Hopefully everything will go along smoothly without a hitch.

I'd seriously be willing to fly to Japan just to meet with him if that's what it took. I'm that confident about how much having the Caparison line would help my business.

I'm hard at working securing deals, working with my partner on logistics, taking some pre-orders for the brands we DO have locked up, building the website, etc. The store itself should open in May, but we should have some kind of online store ready before then.

Just subscribe to this thread and you'll be updated as it happens. I think it would be fun sometime in the future to look back on this thread and see how it all evolved step by step

I absolutely could use help in the following areas:

· Logos (The store is called "The Axe Palace")
· Advanced web design (I know html and some flash but nothing else)
· When we open for business, help spread the word

...and allowing me to hook you guys up with exclusive deals on amps, guitars or pickups would be helpful too of course
