I've just become a member and paid an extra amount to try and get a Fukuoka T-shirt. Not sure if this is how to contact you about it but couldn't find an email address for you.
Anyway greetings from Australia, loved the Documentary (so many memories in it for me) and have really valued your Japan running news over the last few years.
