Some additional info....

Well, assuming I know how to travel, someone mentioned I also need a character... ahm... let's see... I used to have one while I've played D&D. I'm sure I was an elf... or was it AD&D?

Anyhow, I'm a Ph.D. in CS, been salsa instructor for several years throughout my studies (until studies have overrun me), salsa DJ, and actually was practically managing the team, and I even DJed a bit in the radio. I'm considered a funny teacher (I was TA for three years, and then a lecturer for 3 years) and a very good speaker (by colleagues, ex-students, and even ex-Salsa students).

I've done my share of weird stuff (most recently, driving with bicycle, throughout the Bastille square), and of course, suffers from the need to be the center of attention, which means I'll do anything short of illegal to get exposure for FT.

My g-f is an engineer (boring, ah?) who happens to be an ex-salsa instructor. We're good together, and even better when we act as a team. Being the better half, she'd probably beat me if it was a solo competition, but she's stuck with me

Besides that, it would be a week after a major project would end, so I guess I'll be in the mood for doing silly stuff, like actually flying from CDG to NYC, just to fly back to Europe.
