we are that community.

sure, we like literature. but we also like poetry. and music. and dance. and art. and photography. we like it all, and here we can talk about it all. here, (almost) anything goes.

Fall 2010-Bryson Literary Society & eleven40seven

Hey everyone! Great to back from a blog-atus (that's a "blog hiatus" by the way).

We have lots of news that I'm going to try to run through in an organized, efficient way:

1. Bryson Literary Society is back and better than ever this year. We are currently sitting at 21 total members and planning a number of fun, awesome events for this semester including a trip to the Modern Museum of Art and the Angelika Film Center in Dallas. If you have any questions about joining this illustrious society please contact our President, Chad Gallman (c.gallman@tcu.edu) or our Faculty Advisor, Dr. Curt Rode (c.rode@tcu.edu).

2. ELEVEN40SEVEN!!! Yes eleven40seven season is upon us. And as we all know, submission time is the most wonderful time of the year (step off Christmas). Our deadline for submissions this year is OCTOBER 18th at 11:47 PM. Please submit and encourage your friends to submit and their friends too, even if you don't really like their friends, we want all the submissions we can get. For rules on submitting please visit: http://www.1147.tcu.edu/submit.html

3. Book club! Book club is back as well this year. We're reading Sloane Crosley's book of essays "How Did You Get This Number". Our next meeting will be Thursday, October 21st, at 6pm in the TCU Bookstore Cafe. We'll be discussing the 2nd and 3rd essay of the book. Come for stimulating conversation with your peers.
