As I was saying...
On the payola side, I had to pay $230 to be a presenter at a major conference yesterday. I found out 4 hours before the gig and I almost packed my stuff and left. The political repercussions of such an action would have been a bit on the catastrophic side for me, so I ponied up the dough. I shan't return to that conference, though.
But, in other news, I just got my first faculty research grant! I'm going to start a concert series of electroacoustic music here at UCF. I'll post a call for works sometime in the near future. I think I've got my first concert already programmed but I'll let you all know the grizzly details as they emerge.
On to the weekend!
