Who would like to go there? Does anybody plan to make a presentation?

I posted this question because I consider to go there, and I'm interested if somebody else would like to attend too.

It's a long travel from Germany to Japan for me, so I think a good reason to attend would be making a presentation:

Application of pgf/TikZ in Science and Technology

Since I'm maintaining TeXample.net with the TikZ Example Gallery, I had contact to many people who used TikZ in their works, mainly in natural sciences but also in electrical engineering and further areas. The presentation is intended to show TikZ' capabilities in this regard, and to talk about experiences with the application of TikZ.

Furthermore, TikZ is the most popular topic on TeX Stack Exchange, so I think it would be a great opportunity to represent our community at the conference in Japan.

My decision to go there may depend on the approval of our TeX.SE community members, if you would symbolically support it, if you like the trip plan and the presentation topic.

I made a similar trip in 2011, if you would like to read about it: The TUG 2011 Experience.

i've asked for time off to attend, and, barring disasters, hope to be there.

no decision yet on any presentation, but there are some possibly interesting topics that might be considered.

I'm planning to go (sadly the costs aren't inviting) and I really hope I can lure you to sign my TeXbook. :) – Paulo Cereda Mar 1 at 19:40
@PauloCereda -- well, i'm not the author, but i've been quoted there, and i'll be happy to sign that page. (and to meet you -- tug meetings are really good for letting one associate faces with disembodied names.) – barbara beeton Mar 1 at 19:46

I would love to go to TUG 2013 in Japan. I would have visited TUG 2012 but couldn't because of my PhD studies.

As a presentation topic I would like to talk about some parts I contributed to. I think either a talk about using stand-alone diagrams etc. in larger document, e.g. standalone with a comparision to the externalise TikZ library. An alternative would be the different possibilities of including and modify image and text content using graphicx and adjustbox.
