While I pride my LJ as having some of the most intelligent, creative, sharp-as-knives, all-around-amazing people on Das Intarvebs, for those not in the know today is the 20th anniversary of The Velvet Revolution ( Read more... )

Last week, as you all know by my CAPS filled post, I had my interview w/ Irene Taskovski of the aforementioned. Said interview was for a place in thir internship program which, of course,  unpaid. Am I surprised? No, not really. Internship grants you say? If I was an EU citizen then yes. I am not. Obviously.
