Random ideas often come to me while I'm standing over the copier and this may have to do with the fact that I was in a Barnes and Noble recently and didn't see a journal I quite liked to use as my Twelfth Night guestbook.....  Or not.

Anyway, ema are votive offerings (or wishes, if you like) made at Shinto shrines, while part of the Tanabata festival involves writing wishes and hanging them on trees. In fact, Yoko Ono adapted the idea to a Wish Tree in the garden of the Hirschorn Museum in DC. Here it is naked.  I shot this last month.

So should I have a tree for people to put guestbook notes on at my UnVigil?

I think that sounds like a really cool idea!

It's very Japanese, and I expect it's never been done...

I think it'd be memorable and unusual. Go for it!

Makes me want to be there all the more. Will find a second job if I have to, since the first one will not bring in money on anything like a schedule.

That's the plan. Part of me dreams about having a decent DSLR. On the other hand, the point-and-shoot is always in my purse.
