I feel born again

Last minute notice, but I must say hearing these two together is pretty sweet. They're playing at The Norfolk Tavern, Port Dover 9:00pm-1:00am

Would love to see you Greg! Let me know if you're stuck for a ride...might be able to help you out. I'm still trying to figure out what time we might want to roll in. Was talking with Walsh last night and he mentioned that he just 'guessed' that DD would be on around eight. Anyone else know for sure?

I appreciate his 'gumption' I suppose, but something...okay a lot about this just doesn't sit right with me. But who knows, maybe he'd surprise me.

Those are some smooth sexy moves!

Hmmm...is Scott Findlay one of your colleagues?

I wish

What time? What time are folks things about heading down?

Happy birthday Mike, and yes, thanks.

In for Friday. At least for part of the night and hopefully all of it...

Sorry to those who see this twice (I need to get my threads straight)... All I know (or think I know) is that Fatties are slated for 11:00pm, and Walshy's website hints at a 8:00pm start for Diesel Dog

I believe they are slotted for 11:00pm. On that note, can someone confirm the time that Diesel Dog is playing? Based on Walshy's website I am guessing 8:00pm?

oooh...that sounds interesting.

My recommendation is that you venture a little further than just down the street on Saturday I've been having Tonin withdrawal since All Good. Need me a good dance-down.

Regardless. I can't WAIT for Massey, and could totally talked into trying to line my cards up right so I could head on down to Detroit...October seems so far away!

Bump.

So did Schwa (or anyone else for that matter) lose their shirt?

Woah. First I've hear of this. Why oh WHY must I always miss these guys... it pains me more and more every time.

That's just absolutely incredible. Many on here would have trouble just staying awake for that long! lol!

Thanks folks. All good advice and encouraging as the 'strategies' are in line with what I have been doing. Just comforting to know i'm not alone, as the whole thing (even when actively 'networking') can be a little isolating. The whole academia thing really is an odd beast in many ways, but I 'think' it is the path for me...these set-backs definitely make me question myself though, and challenge my stamina. The 'good' news I think is that my work trasncends many disciplinary boundaries, so there's no shortage of potential journals if I employ the right lens. For the time being I'll just keep chippin' away I guess...

Great. I feel much better now.

Fuck! After some initial success with publications I have had a few recent set-backs (in a row) with respect to peer review of papers I have submitted. I know it's the nature of the game, and I'm always open to critique and identifying areas in need of improvement, but DAMN! Nothing is more frustrating than months and months of work grinding to a halt. I esp. hate when reviewers comments are generally positive and when what they feel does have to be addressed is relatively minor...with ample room for the opportunity to respond/address their identified concerns, but you don't even get the chance to because the editor just flat-out rejects it anyways. I know this is often a sign of sheer volume being submitted to the journal and obviously an easy way of 'weeding' things out but....grrrr. So, I know there's a few on here that could possibly relate? What strategies do you employ to help deal with the rejection? To give yourself the motivation to revise and resubmit? To find the time to go back to the drawing board on older material that needs/should be published while still keeping momentum with your current work? etc etc Sometimes I feel like I should just pack it in and get a 'real' job

The I'll be your baby tonight is putting me in a nice cozy, rockin' chair kind of space right now. Lovin' the slide.

mmmm.. Listening right now. thanks.
