OMG YAYYY!!!!!!!

Hurray!

She's probably pleased as hell that someone wants to read it!

Good for you that you didn't give up. I'm in Munich right now - need anything photographed here?

Also will be in Milan next week.

Actually, she works in Berlin and her thesis is in Munich - how funny is that? She said she would be going there (Munich) this weekend.

If you happen to be in a muesuem and happen to see something labeled papier mache then please - I would love a pic. But I have not had much luck with museum sites finding things by medium. They work great if you search by time period, artist, subject matter, style etc... but medium - not so much.

I am way jealous that you are there.

SERIOUSLY? No. Way.

I'll keep a look out. Which institut did she do her thesis?i Mean I know she said she'd look it up, but you know. I'm already here and I'll be at LMU tomorrow. Visiting Prof. Dr. and all that crap. Meetings. Argh.
