Extra Post 一

So, this is my first post that is not required and yeah. I will talk about my action plan ideas. I have three:

1. The easiest thing to do would be a panel at the anime convention (Tekkoshocon). I would have to preregister and make a presentation or something and just present it to people... Yeah. It would be informative and stuff, ya know? Pretty easy.

2. Mr. Tamler suggested I do an oral history (because for some reason he has a large interest in helping me with Grad Project, not that I'm complaining). I don't know how I would do that, though... Because I think it usually focuses on an event and I would have to interview people and just put what they say together to make a story. Seems hard. And I don't know where I would get these people from...? So, that is lower on my list.

3. This is the most extraordinary one, which is why it is last. It's also difficult. Crossplay Fashion Show. So, cosplay is short for "costume play" which is where a person dresses as a character or something. Sometimes they act "in character" (like when they LARP), and it's a common thing to do at an anime convention (cosplay, not being in character). So, crossplay is the same thing, only you are dressed as the opposite gender. Basically, I guess you could call it drag. So, yeah. Oftentimes the people at the anime conventions dress in Japanese street fashion (like lolita), so I was thinking of doing a crossplay fashion show. That way, we have homosexuality (well, closer to transgender) and Japan in there and it's not boring. Because that is a difficult thing to do (put both things into an action plan). And I thought it would be more exciting than a panel. But my problem is finding people to crossdress for it (because my friends are not supportive). I think the venue could also be at the anime convention, though.

P.S. this post is titled "Extra Post 一" because that line is not just a line; it's the Japanese symbol for the number one. It's pronounced "ichi." So, yes. Learning is good.
This was a long and unnecessary post.
