Yes, I admit: my blog has been somewhat neglected recently… And unfortunately it will still be in that situation for a while, since I’m in the middle of some conferences and workshops in the US (plus it is summer and awfully hot here). Tomorrow I’ll be presenting in the SED ’08 conference at MIT (you can see the precise session and download the paper from here– comments are very welcome!) and next week I’ll be attending the NBER Summer Institute Workshop on “Macro Perspectives”, which will feature some very very interesting papers. Meanwhile, luckily enough (wouldn’t be able to make it to Chicago as well!), my co-author, Marco, will present another of my joint papers in the GAMES ’08 conference at Northwestern Univ., Chicago (session and paper available for download here).
But equally important, I’ve spent the last couple of days in NYC–where it is horribly warm currently, I have to repeat that– and among many other things, I’ve managed to see for the first time something I wanted to catch for quite a while now: Alex Balanescu and Ada Milea’s performance of “The Island” (written by Gellu Naum). I’ve enjoyed this performance at Joe’s Pub, on the 5th of July and I’ll say it was nothing short of amazing. Don’t miss it if you have the slightest chance to catch it! A/the line to retain (for current and future reference): “Temptation’s still alive, temptation’s still alive…”.
