Jul. 4th, 2005 02:14 pmIndependence Day seems an appropriate time to note that there is less than a month left to submit to the inaugural issue of The November 3rd Club. Do I talk a lot about this? Oh yes. Because I want the launch to be nothing short of stellar. Thankfully, I know many stellar writers, many of whom still need to send me things. Hint, hint.
Fiction, as far as I can tell from here, is still the problem area. I will love you forever if you send me good, politically-themed and tinged fiction.

Henniker, New Hampshire, was the strangest deja vu experience of my life. I'd never been there before dropping Lea off a couple weeks ago, but having attended its British campus, large swathes of it are vaguely familiar to me, and I still see little pieces of Arundel around. For example, the campus pub is named the Tortington Arms West, which was renamed some tiem ago to mirror the pub on the British campus. There's a British flag up on the administration building. Little things. Little rituals they go through without realizing they originally meant to reflect something that is no longer there. I find it fascinating.

Caught a couple of the student readings, which were good, and part of Ross Gay's lecture on "American Duende," which I will be processing in my head for weeks.
