Back in NYC

So as you might have guessed from my lack of posts, I'm back in New York City, hard at work writing my dissertation and applying for funding so I can "write my dissertation," or at least pay myself back for the expenses incurred on this money pit of a project. Chapters have been written: an Introduction; an overview of Charlotte's Latin music scene. And now I'm working on a chapter that talks about several bands and their audiences- how they form communities and how important where they play is, whether it's Kalipso on North Tryon or the Neighborhood Theatre, Cosmo's Cafe or A Piece of Havana.

Here are some pictures to keep it interesting.

Welcome-back cakes for the return party.

My archives (newspaper clippings from Charlotte)



My tree nut and legume collection; if I'm hibernating, might as well eat like a squirrel (I like to snack when I write).



My work space.




Again, to all the folks in Charlotte, THANKS! and keep in touch, I'll be back to visit soon.
