Preparations for the 2011 Taiko Conference are going swimmingly! Observer and Participant slots for the 2011 Taiko Conference are sold out but we are maintaining waiting lists for both. If you missed your chance to register but are interested in attending Taiko Conference, send an email to me at kris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx to add your name to either or both lists. A number of vendors are offering pre-orders on drums, batchi, and other taiko equipment. See http://www.taikoconference.org/taiko-marketplace for more information. We are pleased to announce the availability of our first Taiko Conference Android app, generously created by Eric Franchomme and Kamille Garcia.
