@Nik did you choose to dig deeper into debt? Or are you fortunate enough to pay for it upfront? ... scholarship?

[Nik]

A mix. I got funding for most of it, worked during, but also took out more student debt. Glad I did. Being able to do that research has fulfilled my life beyond any price.

[Oaktavia]

@Nik dang dude...well good for you, happy for ya. What did you focus your research on?

[Nik]

I used philosophy to analyse time in some crazy experimental performances

[louisbosco]

could you teach me how to time travel

[Nik]

Sure, just google the one year long performances by Tehching Hsieh or the still-going 2007 name change piece by Janez Janša, Janez Janša, and Janez Janša and you’ll get the idea. When I graduated the head of department (who was neither Taiwanese nor Slovenian) had to read out those names in the title and she was not happy with me.

It was quite emotional opening up the cartons. Bernadette even sent me some bits and bobs that I had gifted Mike over the years....

And to crown it all, at the bottom of the last carton I opened, was, and I kid you not, this....

@Giles I bet it was hard seeing all of his stuff like that. I would have a shed a few tears, easily.

[Giles]

There's this too.....One of the "Mike Dyeing Experiments".....

I’ll bid $1000 for those bibs to never leave IH and to be hung in the wall of fades.

[Jett129]

I got a little choked up looking at all that stuff.

[SKT]

It’s truly moving to see his collection arrive and see all the love folks here on the forum have for Mike.

If you do, either Iron Heart or Paula and I will match you....

[goosehd]

I do fully commit.

[Oaktavia]

Wow, gents, bravo. And this is all to help his mother, correct? If so, that is truly amazing and Mike would have loved that I'm sure.
