That should read “The SIAI house, huh? Where is that?”
Should this novice deign to be present amongst the giants. (sorry, the Japanese really do talk like that, and I’ve been watching anime for three days—in Japanese, as it is the best way to learn the language). Or, to put it in the colloquial “Should I be privileged to attend.”
Alas… My legs have conspired to keep me away (well, really, they just have been acting up over the last week, and I had hoped they were finished, but it seems not).
So, I hope that your Positive-Affect-Day, Schelling-Point-mas goes well (I must confess here that I did not understand the Schelling-Point portion of that expression until I googled it upon discovering that my legs were going to keep me away from the meetup… At which point I realize… The whole expression is both quite pertinent and funny. Well done whoever came up with it)
Thank you… Then I shall be there (not that my cats are not good company; they just aren’t too good on the conversation end. They do have more than one word, fortunately, but every one starts with Me—and usually ends with ow or eh)
Doh… Need to not reply while watching anime...

Okay, should now link to meetup.com, from which you should be able to obtain directions.

Right… “doko” is “where”, I was thinking “there” but that’s “soko”...
Let me see if I can get an LW Meetup set up, in which case I can forward to meetup.com. Otherwise I’ll PM or just post the info here.
