Hey there, pals!

     We hope you’re braving the abrupt plummet in temperature, as well as the blitzkrieg of midterms, essays, and other mid-semester madness you probably experienced last week (or are experiencing, now).

     We would like to wholeheartedly thank all who attended the English Majors’ Open Mic, and give a special shout-out to all the incredible poets, novelists, singers/songwriters, and writers alike who shared a piece of their work with us. The Open Mic was a refreshing hiatus from the hustle and bustle of everyday life on campus, and an opportunity for us to sample each other’s brilliance and bask in the glory that is writing.

     That said, we’d like to offer our sincerest apologies to those who were unable to present due to the time constraints. If you e-mail us at boylanblog [at] brookyln [dot] cuny [dot] edu, we’d be happy to guarantee you one of the first spots at the next Open Mic in the Spring of 2014. We’d also urge you to submit your work to The Junction, which we’ll discuss more in the upcoming weeks and next semester.

     Until then, grab a cup of tea, sink into your sofa, and take solace in knowing that we’ve made it halfway through the semester. And, once again, thank you for your unwavering support of and participation in all that we do. Cheers!
