A note from Kathleen Richards, editor-in-chief of GRASSROOTS, SIUC's undergraduate literary
and art journal:
HELLO EVERYONE!
I am happy to announce 2009's GRASSROOTS MAGAZINE RELEASE PARTY!!!
The magazine is being shipped to us as we speak, so our second annual get together will be held next Thursday, May 7th in honor of the new magazine.
There will be an open mic where all who are and are not published in the magazine are encouraged (but not at all required) to read their work to an adoring crowd.
There will also be food and beverages HOWEVER due to a budget problem we will not be able to be as lavish as we were last year. Therefore, if anyone wants to bring some food or drink to share with all it would be greatly appreciated (but, again, not required).
I understand this is finals week and some of you may be busy but I really hope that you all can take some time out and come party with us. I promise that the new magazine is beautiful and I know that everyone who's been involved with it has worked very hard, so you all deserve to party.
This is open to the public, so feel free to bring friends, family members, acquaintances, strangers, and whoever else you would like to!
Ok, so here's the rundown:
DATE: THURSDAY MAY 7TH, 2009
TIME: SIX P.M.
LOCATION: FANER BREEZEWAY (the same place we had it last year; outdoor deck on the second floor of Faner above the university musuem)
GOAL: HAVE FUN AND CELEBRATE THE MAGAZINE; EAT FOOD AND READ WORK
Thanks so much everyone, hope to see you next Thursday!!
