****needs a new "title" what you do Amanda! I think many people have a hard
time experiencing something when they don't know what it is, what it is
called, what catagory it fits into, where to list it in the listings
section of weekly papers. I also think people have expectations when they
think they are going to a performance, installation, etc.....

Don't worry. Someone will name it...eventually.

Good luck with the panel.
and we think spring might have finally arrived here in NYC. which means it
cn't be too far from Norway!
