Are you kidding me? You have to be kidding me.

Hey, I had to ask.

UCI job?

They are hiring a new professor at either Assistant or Associate level in Sound Design. They just added the new program last year and my old teacher from my MFA got the job there. They are hiring a second professor this year. I had decided not to apply, but he caught me a few weeks ago and did the hard sell about the program and pressed me to at least apply. I know that he really wants me in the job, and I think the two of us would head up an amazing program, but I'm just really torn. I feel kind of bad about it because it is a feast of excess in many ways. I have a great career that is on the rise, and now I'm being courted by one of the top schools in the country to come and start up a new program, and I'm ambivalent about it. I'd have autonomy there, and I'd be able to sculpt my part of the program how I see fit. I can really see myself starting up a show control/automation program at the school. I can also see my career continuing to rise the way it has been for the past few years.

So yeah, I emailed him my resume last night which is enough for him to start a file on me as an applicant. The deadline for applicants was today. So now I just have to finish up my packet and get recommendations sent off to him.

but mostly because tonight is the "It's *almost* my birthday, so dress up!" event at the local goth club.

I am SO cranky I'm not going, but looping tomorrow and we have the Batniece tonight (which is what sealed the staying home deal). SO cranky.

(Esp. because of the Recent Developments. Sigh.)

sj, I just saw that Cambridge Brewing Company is doing another Brewer's Dinner in March! [link]

If you do go with TCG, you may be surprised to see that there are several beers you might enjoy. This brewer does a lot of work with barleywines and other delicate styles and flavors...

(Esp. because of the Recent Developments. Sigh.)

Which Recent Developments? Do I know about them, or are these even more Recent?

I meant Club Related Ones, so probably. (I'd link to the Slog post, but I'm lazy and would have to find it.)

Oh, that. Yeah. Club moving and name change drama, oh yay.

In a perfect world, we'd have that teleporter, so that all of you could turn up at the goth club tonight. That would make me soooooo happy.

piles into corner. passes on the Fernet. goes for single malt.
