This Friday at the Randall Museum is “Bladerunner,” a classic sci-fi thriller, directed by Ridley Scott (Alien, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down).
FRIDAY SEPT 9 Cine/Club Randall Museum 199 Museum Way
Refreshments 6:30 FIlm Program starts at 7pm
CARTOON
Student film: POE (group film by the workshop)
Ridley Scott’s BLADE RUNNER (1982, USA)
A bold and mesmerizing vision of the future, this film has been one of our most popular, and with good reason. It’s a chilling detective thriller set against one of the most dazzling future cities ever imagined, but its underlying themes about humanity and self-determination are just as strong.
For those who can’t make it to the required two Cine/Clubs, Art Saturdays also count for Art&Film credit. This Saturday, September 10th, Ronald will be taking people to downtown galleries, a picnic in Yerba Buena Gardens, and a movie that you will have to pay for.
ART SATURDAY -SEPT 10
10:45-11:15
Meet at Metreon on the park side facing the waterfall. We’ll be sitting on the wall waiting for you! Students should RSVP for Art Saturdays when possible, so we can plan the picnic. However, don’t let that keep you from showing up if you decide at the last minute.11:15-12:45 Some of the Downtown galleries. We’ll see the shows at Modernism, Paule Anglim, Haines, Koch and Fraekel for starters.12:45-Picnic-Yerba Buena Gardens

This week, we in the Creative Writing department are lucky enough to host a former C-dub, Adrian Kane. She graduated right before the current seniors were freshmen, so there’s just enough distance for authority, but not enough for us to miss out on some playful bonding. We’re benefiting from Adrian’s expertise in all things mythic, and it’s looking good for the rest of the week.

Hey all: for anybody interested in submitting work, but without means of finding places to submit, every so often you can check here for submission opportunities. This particular one concerns poets, or those who take some pleasure in writing poetry reviews. This information was received through the CWROPPS email group. You can join for free at any point.
Cellpoems, a text-message based poetry journal, is looking for submissions of short poems and poem reviews. Past contributors include Sherman Alexie, Charles Simic, Kimiko Hahn, Matthea Harvey, and Matthew Rohrer.
GUIDELINES
Poems and reviews must be less than 140 characters in length (including spaces). We accept simultaneous submissions, but do not consider previously published work. Please see our website for additional information:
http://cellpoems.org/submit/or submit to us at:

Congratulations, Giorgia, for getting published in the Belletrist Coterie online magazine!
Her piece, “How Mermaids Were Made,” will be published early 2012, in the inaugural issue.
Cdubs, please follow Giorgia’s awesome-wonderful-fantastic example and email either myself or Rebecca for future publications.

Today the department took to the underground to visit the Contemporary Jewish Art Museum, located across the street from the Metreon’s backyard. We were there to explore the Gertrude Stein and Charlotte Salomon exhibits, both of which took full advantage of form in their content. Stein classified herself as a “cubist with words,” and Salomon often included text and music with her paintings. All in all, a successful field trip, leaving us all feeling mighty cultured.

The time is almost here for submissions to be turned in!
On Wednesday, September 21st, all Cdubs must turn in a list of three pieces that have been submitted for publication within the six week period. Instead of wading through the thick, impenetrable sludge that Google spews up when you type in “writing submissions,” simply sign up with CWRWOPPS. Join the group with whatever email you use (yahoo!Groups supports Facebook and Google accounts) to get updates whenever someone posts with a call for submissions.
Another useful website to find submissions is Duotrope, a search engine you can use to narrow down the range of your results (i.e. you want to submit a piece in a certain genre, select from the drop-down list, and all the affiliates with Duotrope that are looking for a piece with that certain genre will appear). There are no daily updates with Duotrope, however, so you’re responsible for checking in and submitting your work.
Submissions are a big part of being a writer, so spread your writing around, and get them published; as Heather always says, good writers will submit more than three times!

Attention all SOTA students: If you happen to find yourself with free time at any point in the day, you should feel free to help out your school by volunteering for side-jobs. This sort of work is especially necessary at the beginning of the year.

I’m sure everyone’s received the email from Heather regarding our first adventure Friday of the year this week on September 3rd, but in case you haven’t…
We will be going to the Contemporary Jewish Museum to see the Stein and Charlotte Solomon exhibits, much thanks to the wonderful Maia who has gotten the tickets for us. The de Young is currently hosting a Picasso exhibit, and SFMOMA a Stein exhibit, both of which come highly recommended by Heather in addition to the CJM exhibit we’ll be visiting Friday.
We leave school at 12:45 and have to arrive by 1:45 to have time to see both exhibits.
