Indeed, it's been a while since my last progress report... I apologize to any who might actually be following these reports and seeking to aid in my ongoing quest for world otakunization.
So far, a great amount of progress seems to have been made! I've had the pleasure of attending SakuraCon for the last two years now, with the crowds flooding out into the Seattle streets both times. Several previously non-otaku friends have become fast addicts of a few personal favorites. And, on a personal note, I've weaved my way down through Snohomish county and am now living in Everett.
And the signifigance of Everett? It's a large industrial and military center, with a burgeoning fanbase that is practically starving for a true otaku experience. Yes there are manifold comic stores and other such establishments that sell anime. But the real otaku around here have to travel all the way down into King county just to go to a convention, let alone find a nice place to hang with other otaku on the regular.
And so, it occurs to me that such an establishment must be... established... here in the greater Snohomish county area. If it can take root in Everett, all the better. Thus, otakunization efforts can reach foreign businesspeople and the various Naval officers what roam our streets, and, well... You can imagine the rest.
Even as I seek to found such a veritable otaku oasis amid this vast desert of mediocrity, I shall try to be more diligent in bringing you up-to-the-minute progress reports. Please continue your own personal efforts on all fronts. Banzai! ninja
