The Architecture Student Incident

So...
My original idea for this project had been centered around Koshigaya, which is why I put up the Noh interviews and whatnot. Then, we got the option in class to work with an architecture student (if they were willing). The catch was that you could only do certain parts of Tokyo. I really wanted to work in a collaborative project, so I jumped right on that and changed my theme to Japanese Indie rock bands. Hence, Yoyogi Park.

But, after the weeks of fuddering and meeting this teacher and that student, only one architecture student ended up pairing up with someone and that someone wasn't me. After a couple of more weeks of fuddering, it suddenly dawned on me that I didn't have to struggle with going to Yoyogi all the time (waaaaaaay out of the way) and spend tons of money going to lives and buttering up band members. Instead, I could just go back to my original (and more interesting to me) idea: Koshigaya.

Of course, that means that I'm somewhat behind in the work and need to get caught up with all that. We'll see how this goes...
