It’s been quite a week!  I’ve been watching the news about the volcano eruption with almost religious intensity.  Finally, we realized that Magne Ove Varsi would simply be unable to get out of Sweden in time, and decided to cancel this tour.  Now I’m working hard to reschedule it for February.

Over the last 15 years,  I’ve had to worry about funding deadlines, airplane schedules, venue suitability, the ability of performers to travel, budgets, and so much more–but worrying about a volcano?  This was a first!

Magne Ove Varsi and the Icelandic Volcano–it sounds like an ancient saga, doesn’t it?  But in this case, it’s real and it’s now.  I’m gearing up for Sami rights pioneer Magne Ove Varsi’s US tour, which is supposed to begin in Austin, Texas on Monday as he is supposed to speak at the University of Texas at Austin.  But a volcano in Iceland has erupted, and the resulting cloud of ash has led to cancellation of all flights in and out of Scandinavia and the United Kingdom.  So when he will get here is still up in the air, so to speak.  Stay tuned!
