Default 2011 Tokyo Auto Salon Tour

Anyone trying to go to Japan for the 2011 Tokyo Auto Salon Tour?

I guess DSPORT Magazine is having a tour where they take you to Japan for a week in the midst of Tokyo Auto Salon. Xuningshen and I were thinking of possibly going and I wanted to see if anyone else might be interested.
