Hi all,

A reminder that we are meeting TOMORROW at Miller Theatre to see Kate Soper’s IPSA DIXIT. Arrive no later than 7:45. Plan your transit in advance. Miller is closest to the 116th St. 1-train stop, on the east side of Broadway. Please read Soper’s interview in the Believer before attending. Prior to class, please read the readings for

I also wanted to remind you that outings like this one are non-optional parts of 1001H. Treat them as you treat our Tuesday classroom meetings: something for which you show up, on time, and prepared. You may be excused from excursions for religious observation, serious illness, or family emergency–but that’s pretty much it, and even then, you must let Jake and me know with ample warning. We both want you to succeed in the course (and in general!), but coming up with make-up assignments at the last minute is by no means an easy task.

Please look at the revised syllabus carefully. Note the upcoming excursions to the Jewish Museum (11/27) and St Ann’s Warehouse (12/5, evening). Put them in your calendar, and plan to attend.

Finally–for those of you who were disappointed that Warhol has been taken out of the course, never fear! We will do an optional trip during club hours on Thursday, 11/15. I’ll pass around a sign-up sheet in class for those who are interested, and I’ll point you to some useful preparatory reading. I encourage you to attend. We will be among the first to see this show (it opens just a few days before, on 11/12).

Best, and see you tonight–

Prof Kolb

P.S. I’ll be reminding you of this next week, too, but class on 11/6 starts at 12 noon, not 11:10 as usual. Vote!
