Mia Nakaji Monnier and Cari Yasuno saw the press release we sent the Rafu Shimpo, the Los Angeles Japanese Daily News and asked their boss if they could attend the conference. They came on the Saturday of HNA and wrote an article about their experience, interviewing Stan Forrester, Michael Dylan Welch, and others as well as attending sessions like the Einbond renku reading.

Mia and Cari had so much fun at HNA that they came to last Saturday's Southern California Haiku Study Group Workshop at the Pacific Asia Museum and plan to become regulars.
