Don't be Vague: go to the Hague

So, what are you doing this weekend? Me, I delivering the New Year's Lecture at the Universiteit Leiden, Campus Den Haag (Friday 5th February, starting at 7pm) at the invitation of the LUC Brill Nijhoff Writing Institute. Here's a (PDF) document detailing this interesting and diverting occasion; I believe it's not too late to register. If you happen to be in the vicinity of the Hague that Friday evening, it would be lovely to see you. I shall talk about democracy, about giants, about headlessness, about ignorance, and if I have time I shall cover the meaning of life and the optimum strategy for eternal happiness. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
