"They'll Come If We Have an Open Bar.."

Big news of the week: Polaris is officially having a release party on May 11, 2010 at 7:30 pm. It's going to be held in the Fame Center in Ada and the winners of the magazine contests will hopefully be reading their pieces. Other people can read as well if they'd like. Food should be around, although we will not have an open bar ;c) Sorry Fred. Props to Lydia on this for being an organizational guru.

Other cool stuff: Alan, Dr. Cowles, Brian, Andrew, and possibly other people went to the AWP conference. We were one of the few undergraduate journals present and we seemed to get some fairly good feedback from other publications who were there. Minus Alan's freakout that Heathrow airport was going to explode while they were there, the trip seemed to be a lot of fun and went off without a hitch. Way to be Alan, way to be ;c)

Besides that, the group has decided to sent the magazine away to an organization who will provide critiques on the publication which could come in useful for next year. I'm kind of excited to see what they have to say. Hopefully they're good comments. Ha.

And I'll leave you with this song. I discovered it during work today, it's called Suspension by Mae. It's probably my new favorite song-- not that THAT matters very much, but hey here ya go. Just listen, there's really no video because all the music videos wouldn't let me embed it. Peace!
