The Proceedings have arrived and look fabulous (imho, but i also designed the frontpage ;), the nametags are all made and ready to wear, all the conference packages have been put together and are ready to be handed out, the atrium is dressed up for the event, the workshop people know where to dine, the camera for a piece at the ELINOR evening is now working, equipment have been ordered for the concert and contact person for that in place, the second press releas have been sent out, the wiki bug has been fixed, the student help who couldnt make it to the intro has been shown how to handle the tech in the atrium, the dj knows what music to play and in general thanks to the two fabulous local organisers working with me on this, there really isn't much left to worry about. It almost feels like nemesis that I'm considering taking a short nap on the gameroom couch before meeting up with a presenter for a tech check across continents.

Now it feels almost like the night before christmas eve, Im as exited as a kid waiting to see which gifts are under the tree and if other people like the gifts I made for them. And tomorrow I even get to open the entire event which Im looking so much forward to, a bit like lighting the candles on the christmas tree and calling in the rest of the family to watch it I guess, to stay with the metaphor (of a Danish christmas).

Oh, and in fact, I had time to dash off this morning and do an "displaced live" interview together with a political blogger (in Århus) and another researcher, Lene Hansen (in Copenhagen with me) for P1 (national radio), the program Apropos. It's about the use and importance of political weblogs. Will be broadcast tomorrow at 15.30 and 20.30 on P1 and put on the web afterwards.
