I sumo’d …
Yeah, so today my roommate and I went to see a sumo match. We got up really early because we wanted to make sure we could get tickets, because they wouldn’t let us reserve them. So, we woke up at 5:30 and headed to a place, I don’t remember, close to Akihabara. We got there and got our tickets thinking it started at 8:30. Well, it didn’t. We went in thinking it was going to be really really packed… we were the only ones there. So, we decided to sit and watch the ones who aren’t really in the big leagues yet. After an hour or so we decided to go find an ATM because my roommate didn’t have much money on him. Then we grabbed some coffee too. Spent some time in the coffee shop and then went back. We had about 45 min until the real matches started, at 2:30. We watched for a few hours, until about 4:30 and we headed to Akihabara to check out the crazy gadgets. Some awesome pictures in the photo stream of the matches and the arena.
My Flickr link isn’t working so they aren’t showing up on my site and I’m sleepy. I will try to fix it in the next couple of days. Here is a link to my Flickr so you can at least look at the new pictures.

Awesome, I’ve always liked Sumo. By your pictures it looks like you got seats in the nosebleed section though.

We could pretty much sit where we wanted except for the seats all the way at the bottom. The places I took the pictures were for picture purposes.
