SKED: Update on Labor Day Friday
Dear Colleagues:
* The Palestinian journos told us yesterday they are NOT coming today to the J-school; they have cut their tour short. So no post-picnic event. We will, of course, have plenty of other speakers, foreign and domestic, speak to us in the months ahead. But I’d like to alert you to the arrival, on Tuesday, Oct. 10 from 12:30-1:30 pm, of journalists from the two
biggest Swedish newspapers. Watch for info.
* The picnic, from 1-5 pm, is still on (follows Prof. Span’s 11:30 am-1 pm feature writing lecture). You will be able to purchase a boxed lunch and soda for $5 (normal price is $13; 150 lunches for sale) if you wish. You are welcome to bring your own food, blankets, Frisbees, etc. If it doesn’t rain, the really nice lawn that is fenced off in front of the school will be ours
for the afternoon. If it rains, we will be on the floor in the World Room on the third floor (no Frisbees there!)…
* Details coming shortly of a post-picnic Happy Hour at The Underground Lounge, 955 West End Ave (SW Corner of B’way and 107th).
