+Having wrapped up a whirlwind spring, in which I successfully got through the craziness of buying an apartment in NYC, got myself more or less moved into it, closed down my California office and shipped everything east, and attended a ton of conferences and meetings and gave a bunch of other talks — and mostly managed to keep things at work moving forward in the interstices — I’m now off on my summer adventure.
+
+Like last summer, I’m on the road for quite a while, starting with a spate of bouncing from conference to conference and concluding with a nice long period of being still in Prague. Unlike last summer, however, I am staying in Europe for the entirety of the trip, and not bouncing back to the US until it’s over.
+
+Sadly, this means that I’m missing several US events that I’d like to be at — most notably [AAUP](http://www.aaupnet.org/events-a-conferences/annual-meeting/aaup-2013) and [DH](http://dh2013.unl.edu/) — but the physical toll that my mid-tour return stateside took on me last year was way too high.
+
+So this year’s schedule is a good bit [less insane than last](/itinerary/), and I expect it to be terrific fun:
+
+- 18-22 June — Geneva, Switzerland; [OAI 8](http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=211600)
+- 22-30 June — Göttingen, Germany; [Cultures of Obsolescence](http://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/419609.html)
+- 30 June – 3 July — London, England; [JISC/OAPEN conference on Open Access Monographs](http://www.jisc-collections.ac.uk/JISC-Collections-events/oabooksconf/).
+- 3-31 July — Prague, Czech Republic; utterly, totally event-free.
+
+And so far, so good, on all fronts; I arrived in Geneva this morning, hopped a fairly easy bus transfer to my hotel, had some breakfast and struggled to stay awake until my room became available, and then crashed for several hours. This afternoon, got a bit of work done. Tonight, an early dinner, a good night’s sleep (*please please please*), and on to OAI 8 tomorrow.
