Hey, everyone!

I haven't posted in a long time and am sorry for leaving people without news.

Now that we're up to about 1,000 cranes, I'm mulling how best to deliver them. I'm looking into using frequent flyer miles to actually go to Japan (!!!). I'd like to take along a Japanese-language version of the Yay! Scales that I make. (See voluptuart.com.) The dial of a Yay! Scale reads compliments instead of numbers. The outside is sparkly and fun. I'd like to invite people in Japan to step on the Yay! Scale and enjoy a free compliment. Everyone who participates would receive a fat origami crane as a thank-you gift, complete with accompanying tag of authenticity/explanation. I would love to get media coverage of this action.

If you know anyone in Japan (esp. people who speak Japanese and who might enjoy joining me in the streets for an hour or so of fun Yay! Scale outreach), please let me know!

Also, I've set up a Mixi website (like myspace only in Japan) in my name. If you or your friends are on Mixi, please link with me!
