That would be a good event to plan a trip around some day. Can you post photos for us who can't make it?

I'd second that. Yes, photos please. Be particularly interested on all the Bugis and Peninsular items. :)

Best wishes for a successful event.

A keris/forum members convention centered around the ceremony, that would be something, my special interest is in catagory 9, what else. :)
