Well, we can ask him if he minds some scheduled "photo ops" but I'm sure he
doesn't... He arranged one himself the last time he was here, and had Nozomi
taking his picture with everyone.<g>

As far as the 10 minutes of flash-popping at the beginning of his talks,
we've just got to tell people they can't do that.  You couldn't see the
slides.  Again, if we want to let people have their 30 seconds of flashes to
get him at the podium, fine.  But then they have to put them away until
after the talk.  It was worse than cell phones.<g>

Another thing that happened in Chattanooga that we have to work to avoid is
that once the convention officially started, people who didn't know him were
very reluctant to approach him casually and just talk.  We organizers were
purposely holding back to avoid monopolizing his time, since we had had a
chance to spend time with him before the convention.  But other people were,
I guess, too shy to just go up and start a conversation.  Tomoko is very
capable of handling the translation of a chatty conversation, and Amano is
actually very approachable.

There were times during the reception and other unstructured events when he,
Tomoko and Nozomi were sitting all alone.  We want to try to avoid that.
Obviously we can't write this out in the program, but those of us on the
management side of things have to do our best to encourage people to go sit
and talk with him.  Otherwise the poor man will be monopolized by Peter
again and he may NEVER come back!<g>
