*CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE*
4 comments:
card subject to change. sweet. i am going to start putting that on my syllabi.
Are any of the lectures being recorded? I would love to them.
I considered "card subject to change" and "One Ring Circus" as titles for my thesis, but my Graduate supervisor talked me out of them. So I settled for "Wrestling Dell'Arte: Professional Wrestling as Theatre" instead.
If Sam is recording this lecture, I'll need final approval, royalities and the master copy! *G*
Thanks for the comment, see you next tuesday!
Well, if you're going to be going all IP on this, one of us is going to have to put it on Youtube.
Thanks Peter, great idea! *G*
Maybe I'll wear my luche libre mask and call myself The Magnificent Malcontento, or would that be 'gimmick' infringement? *W*
See you Tuesday!
