As you might have noticed, the red box [2] that's currently at the top of my blog has grown a little more today - I can now confirm a couple more events as part of my iDC [3] residency in New York (even though these events themselves won't be in NYC...). David Marshall has invited me to participate in a panel discussion at Northeastern University [4] in Boston (12 October, 12 noon), and Mark Tribe has asked me to present my 'Understanding the Produser' [5] lecture at Brown University [6] in Providence (12 October, 5 p.m.), so I'll be doing a bit of a New England railway roundtrip that day. And I'm also currently talking to a colleague at Temple University [7] in Philadelphia about another public lecture there - will let you know if we manage to squeeze that one in as well (probably 13 or 14 Oct., I'd guess). My thanks once again to Trebor Scholz [8] from the iDC for making the contacts to Brown and Temple!
