UY Sketchbook 1 contest

The first UY Sketchbook has been sold out for a couple of years now. I do save a few copies for my archives, and that is what the prize in this contest is--a copy of Sketchbook 1. If you already have this, you can choose another sketchbook in the series, even the upcoming Sketchbook 7. All the sketchbooks are signed with an original Usagi head sketch.

Now the contest:

I usually accept two outside-of-North America invitations a year. In 2009 I went to Prague/Helsinki and Japan. I had never been to Prague or Helsinki before, but I did go to Japan 11 years previously. This year, I am going to Germany, and I just accepted my second foreign invitation. (Okay, I am also going to Calgary, but that is still in North America.)

Let's make this easy: All you have to do is post what country I will be going to. You don't have to name the convention/festival/event or even its dates. Just the name of the country. Simple, right?

I will be posting a clue each day until someone wins. I don't know what time of day I will be posting, so you have got to keep checking.

This is open to all Dojo members worldwide. Each member, though, gets only ONE guess. I will close the contest when the correct answer has been posted, and PM the winner to send me his/her mailing address.

Everything clear? Okay, here is the first clue:
I have never been a guest at this event before.

That is an excellent answer. Unfortunately, not the correct one.

None of the previous three guesses are correct.

Today's clue is:

This "event" (that is, convention or festival) will take place in the late spring.

Good luck to all.

We're getting a lot more guesses than I expected. They have all been very good guesses, but incorrect.

In the spirit of the interest in this contest, I will be posting more than one clue a day. However, the next one will not be posted until late this afternoon, as to give our overseas members a fairer chance.
