I will be presenting at University of Florida's 2011 Interdisciplinary Research Conference. This will be my first conference that I have ever attended, let alone presented something at. I am scheduled to present tomorrow at 2:00PM.
I've also started the process of contacting people who make or frequently interact with mashups. My friend Vishal Agarwala works as Director of Marketing for Grooveshark so I am very lucky to be able to pick his brain as well as have him introduce me to some interesting musicians. Also, one of my favorite instructors, Patrick Pagano teaches a graduate level class in digital audio design. In this class he covers many things having to do with remix culture, including mashups. I am now working on some questions to get his perspective about what it is like to teach students about mashups.
I am still avidly asking friends and colleagues about what their favorite mashups are. It is a nice way of getting to know what is out in the world besides what is super popular or what has already been written about in academic circles.
