so what does it take?

Hi Tamiko,

Seemz like 'BEYOND MANZANAR', is a pretty interesting new media event, plus
I think the context is important. Even though I would not of been able to
physically be present at the event, due to my living in the UK - I still
would of wanted to know about it. So I could visited the web site for
research and interest. May be they just forgot…too busy sort of thing.
