If music students have recitals and Ph.D. students have defense presentations, what does a lowly Master's student get to offer in the form of live entertainment for his friends after completing a grueling graduate program?

A live performance of my thesis will be given at my apartment, alongside instrumental accompaniment. Think of it as a nice way to wind down the school year, celebrate the end of a long and emotional academic journey for me, and to meet some cool people.

And heavens no, I will not be reading all 150 pages of it. Rather, the reading performance itself will only feature the abstract. Hard copies and a visual presentation will be available for those who want to dig a bit deeper into the thesis contents.

NOTE:
For those who are outside of Montreal, I will be hosting a live group video chat that you can join, using Google+. The performance will begin at 11:00 pm (EST), and the Hangout session will begin at 10:45 pm. Send me a message if interested.
