Last semester, we had an amazing
turnout for the first "Texas Creative Underground:Breaking" collaborative event.
The event consisted of groups containing creative writers, acoustic guitar players, percussionists, and/or photographers, most of whom had never worked together before. Their mission: to create an original collaborative piece by intersecting the different creative talents in their respective groups.
Mission accomplished.
(Above, to the left) Here are the officers present for the Spring 2009 Release Party of eleven40seven. Tina Le, Dr. Chantel Langlinais (coordinator for the event), Dr. Curt Rode (in back, our faculty advisor), Ashley Tambunga, Landry Weatherston, Taylor Yarborough and Sarah Dozier.

(Below) Guitarists play and sing as images appear on the backdrop. Although the camera didn't allow for much recording time, the girl in front of the black band stand was reading her own poem in the midst of all this. It was a blend of visual, audible and literary bliss.
We anticipate the next Texas Creative Underground collaborative event to be held December 4th. More information to come.
