tickets tomorrow

["Da Kine Sumo E-zine & Web site from Kawika" <dakinesumo@hotmail.com>]

I would like to hear opinions on how crowded ticket sales will be tomorrow 
at Kokugikan?

Doreen, did you walk by today and see people waiting already?  Do you think 
it will be one of those overnite affairs?

I've done that twice, and although I got tickets for all the days I wanted, 
lately I can get tickets for most of the days I want a couple days the basho 
starts.

So I am wondering if it is really worth it or not?  I am planning on going, 
but more like early afternoon, when the line should have died down.

Plus another question, this time regarding January Basho.  It seems to me 
that lots of women wear kimono on the first day of the first basho of the 
year.  Now I have seen bank workers do the same the first day they open for 
business.  It was explained to me that mostly single girls do this, maybe to 
singal to the male sex like, "yeah, I am single, look at me!"  Is it the 
same reasoning for wearing one to day one of the year's honbasho?  Or it is 
a New Year's traditional of sorts?  By the way, men do the same "yeah, I am 
single, look at me!" routine in Japan, year-around, that is why you see 
young guys in purple or lime colored suits, I kind you not.  Supposedly 
bright colors are an eye-catcher!  That must explain Toki's new mawashi!!!  
;-)
