Currently waiting at Newark airport for our last connection to Charlotte, NC where Michael and Alec will be waiting with two 12-passenger vans to take us back to Virginia Tech (approx. 2.5 hour ride from the airport).<\/p>\n<p>Looking back, it&#8217;s been an amazing three weeks full of surprises, twists, turns, curve balls, and stories we all will be retelling for many seasons to come. More importantly, it&#8217;s been a tour filled with successful performances.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, we played as part of the closing concert at the international <a title=\"NIME 2011 Conference\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nime2011.org\">NIME<\/a> conference in Oslo, a performance that I think was particularly well received. As I write this, my computer is slowly chewing on the video footage which I will be uploading to our <a title=\"DISIS YouTube Page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/vtdisis\">YouTube page<\/a> as soon as it is done.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, I also received an email informing me that another interview aired on Croatian National TV (HTV) as part of the <em>e-Hrvatska<\/em> show covering our performance in Zagreb. You can view the video <a title=\"L2Ork e-Hrvatska Interview\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PI3uZtoxT4I\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to use this opportunity to once again sincerely thank our Stakeholders who have generously sponsored this gargantuan undertaking. Likewise, I would like to thank our guest soloists Ron Coulter and Aurora Martin who have been brave (crazy? :-) enough to partake in the tour. I would also like to acknowledge my European Colleagues who have helped me coordinate venue planning, Robin Gareus, Marc Groenewegen, and\u00a0Martin Kaltenbrunner. Finally, I would like to thank all l2orkists for their selfless contributions and sacrifices that have made this tour possible.\u00a0Have a great summer all!
