From Samantha Maldonado ’13 comes news of an excellent event happening in Allbritton tomorrow for anyone interested in writing, magazines, or cultural criticism:
n+1 is a Brooklyn-based magazine of politics, literature, and cultural criticism. Editors Carla Blumenkranz, Dayna Tortorici, and Elizabeth Gumport will read a piece they wrote from the newest issue, discuss different genres of writing, talk about the publishing industry, and answer your questions.
Once you’ve properly digested that event blurb, head over to Pyxis to read Maldonado’s interview with the editors. Then consider offering said editors your couch for a night; it seems they’re not pleased with the hotel reservations their interns have booked at the Wesley Inn & Suites on Washington Street:
Wondering if it was a mistake to let the @nplusintern plan the college tour. Where we’re staying in Middletown, CT: bit.ly/11b3Cyo

Various Wesleyan people were quick to respond with alternative suggestions:
Maybe crash at Eclectic? cc: @wesleying MT @nplusonemag re: the college tour, where we’re staying in Middletown, CT: bit.ly/11b3Cyo

@nplusonemag Hey, don’t say we didn’t warn you about the Wesley Inn and Suites.

@nplusonemag @nplusintern Oh man…I hope the intern chose it for budget reasons only. Many better choices, even if a little out of town.

@nplusonemag @nplusintern Dozens of the facebook attendees are seniors who’d gloat about hosting you on their couch for months. Do it.

The Wesley Inn and Suites is fine, all the h8rs are just classist. My parents stay there whenever they visit. It’s right next to the McDonald’s on Wash. What more could you want? There’s no gorgons lurking destroying all the couches like at Eclectique.
