March for me will come in like the proverbial lion as I wrap up my little European tour with a weekend of workshops in Munich and go out, err, still like the lion with a trip to Chicago for research and an evening of country dancing (loosely defined). In between, I'll be in Boston for DJing (and more research). Updated: the DJing and Boston trip are canceled, conveniently replaced by a class at a local university! Whee!
