Ahem. Where was I?

It’s been a busy few months for me and I’m doing my dangedest to keep on top of things. The to-do list has aforementioned things slowly being ticked off:

• 1 adoption of role as Chair of IASPM
• 1 transfer of power to new IASPM webmaster (new blog layout for IASPM website up soon)
• 1 hiring of Editorial Assistant to finally get those proceedings sorted (’bout time)
• 4 articles refereed for various journals

• 1 book proposal of my own for book on Montreal/Berlin (well under way, to be done this week)
• 1 full-year first-year course done
• 1 third-year course underway (plus 3 tutorials)
• 5 guest lectures done
• 4 DJ nights as TV-DiSKO (great successes, all, or at least the dancefloor massing says so)
• 2 sessions of planning Bit o’ Berlin Bitte, for mid-September (details to follow)
• 4 graphic design bits and pieces
• 8 photos readied for exhibit here in Wellington
