I’m composer-in-residence at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in February and March. I had announced here that the deadline for applying to join me there was October 20, but somehow it got extended until October 27, which is tomorrow. If you’re still interested but hadn’t made up your mind, or were afraid all those terrible things Ann Coulter is saying about me might be true (they’re all false except the online casino addiction), you can still sign up through tomorrow here. I’d love to see you, it’s been too long.
