Super Sad True Love Story

Has anyone else found that book prophetic in light of the Occupy Movement?  A little too close for comfort...

Checking In

Hey Guys and Gals,

Welcome to Monday!  Just a couple of things:

I know the tasks list hasn't been posted (please post ASAP), but please make contact with your groups before Thursday to have an idea of what needs to be done (i.e.- creative concepts in Design&Formatting group, reviews and press releases in Marketing&Publicity group, etc.) so we can have another productive meeting this week.

I realize we're all busy with papers and due dates, but at minimum have a clear idea of what your e-book submission will be before this Thursday.  I believe Caroline (Past/Present), Nick (Future) and Madeleine (Past/Present) are in charge of the sections, so check in with your corresponding editor to cement your ideas.  *NOTE TO EDITORS- please post your emails/phone numbers/something for us to contact you by.  In light of Thanksgiving and the fast-approaching end of the semester, ROUGH/FIRST DRAFTS ARE DUE NEXT TUESDAY NOVEMBER 22ND.  Don't freak out!  Just have something/anything prepared before we leave for Thanksgiving Break.

Also, if you're taking a Netflix break, I recommend watching Obscene.  It's a film about Barney Rosset, who guest speaker Carl Bromley mentioned.  The commentary's great and the soundtrack is kick ass.

Email me or Catie (cmlangill@usfca.edu) if you have questions. 

Hearts, stars and unicorns,
