Hi Michael

Hi Andy
Yes, I too had an e-mail from them this morning saying they'd decided that. (It wasn't what they said before, but there we are...) So I have now amended the blogpost details but I was well aware that you, and also Chris Hockenhull, might have been given a bit of a runaround about it. Thanks for letting me know they've updated you, anyway.

Michael, why don't you lecture somewhere in Louisiana...? Maybe here at Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge, LA?

I'd love to. Did you have any particular host in mind - English Dept., Music Dept., Graduate Institute? I don't know LSU at all...
