As long as I'm cranking up the self indulgence, I also may as well mention that on Friday, April 23, 2010 I'll be giving a talk at the Newberry Library's Dr. William M. Scholl Center for American History and Culture as part of the 2009-2010 Chicago Seminar on Sport and Culture. The title of my talk, part of a larger project on sports, race, and politics in South Africa since 1994, is "Stopped at the Try Line?: Rugby, Race, and Nationalism in Post-Apartheid South Africa." I have an article with a similar title coming out in the next couple of months.

Okay, I know this is slightly off topic, but I can't wait until you post something about the Clint Eastwood movie, Invictus. As soon as I saw the previews, I was thinking..."I know DCAT will write something about this movie, I just know it with all my heart."

I plan to see it as soon as the first showing kicks off, hopefully Friday morning. I will post something here. I will, however, be keeping my powder dry for a larger article that I am going to try to publish on Invictus, John Carlin's book on which the movie is based, and another book.

Derek--
Remind me again of that talk in April. I'll see if I can't get down there and buy us a round afterwards...
