I was a JET CIR! 95-97 in Gunma. Looks like we just missed each other. Thanks for your kind comments -- Yoroshiku!

Yes, an Asian screenwriter. You are an inspiration. Thank you. I don't mean this sarcastically, I'm Asian-American and am really proud that Asian screenwriters do exist.

Welcome aboard, Waka! Looking forward to your dispatches.

Thank you for your kind comments!

Go Waka! I'm excited both to root for a Quester I actually know (from the Willamette Writers Conference), and to root for a fellow Portland screenwriter (for the second year in a row).

What are you guys putting in the water in Portland and how do the rest of us get some? :)
