I hope you enjoy it. [...] [...] Since meeting Alexander Kjerulf at euroGel 2006 last year, I’ve been following his work as the self-appointed Chief Happiness Officer with interest.

I’ve just booked my ticket, and as a previous attendee, I’ve got a 20% discount, so the price was only USD $480. I’m allowed to share this discount (which is only valid until this Friday, 22nd September) with friends and colleagues, so if you’re interested, let me know and I’ll send you the link. You can sign up at the regular price here. I’m already looking forward to this conference, and it’s almost a year away.

This is why I tend to avoid them - I’ve seen both the rock music of the Foo Fighters and the delicacy and dynamic range of Sigur Rós spoilt on stage because of poor dynamic range. The only times I tend to attend gigs are when the venue is small and the artist is unknown to me (which helps built the sense of atmosphere and overcome the poorer sound quality). There’s a long discussion on Edward Tufte’s website about the technical aspects of this over-amplification issue. Because of this, I was blown away when I saw Alison Young performing at the euroGel conference I recently attended. Not only was the sound mix delicate and well-balanced, but Alison is a superb singer who’s become my new favourite artist. She obviously has country and southern influences, but what I’ve heard from her so far has been both emotionally powerful and whimsical. You can download three of her songs as MP3s from her website: she also has plans to record an album, so you can sign up for the mailing list to find out about that if you like what you hear. Highly recommended. [...] [...] I’ve long thought (I’m aware this will make me sound like a young fogey) that most concerts are way too loud.

Have to admit I haven't managed to start on a single one yet - too many other books to finish first!

I totally share your view of the experience and only regret that I didn't have time to meet anc chat with absolutely EVERYBODY - that means you too! Yeah, Alison was great, wasn't she? Got to hang with her a bit and she told me her website is: www.alisonyoungsongs.com A few songs there to listen too, her album is supposed to come out soon and more songs should hit the website as well...stay tuned. See you at the next gel :o) Jesper W. Hi Andrew -

Kaospilots is essentially a private university, teaching business and related creative subjects. They are partly self-funding, and the concept seems novel - all teachers are external consultants. The most striking thing I found in the students I met was their drive - it’s obviously not a university course you drift onto. I think this university model is worth keeping an eye on.
