Etsy! Tomorrow!

(This is a print called The Big Moon by Emily Martin, known as The Black Apple on Etsy. I can't remember where I heard about her, but she's one of Etsy's huge success stories...like, quit-her-day-job-success-story).

I almost missed this in the events calendar, but apparently Etsy reps will be outside Usdan pretty much all day tomorrow (Tuesday, 10/14). I assume they'll be selling stuff, though I'm confused as to why the event is labeled as a first time thing because they were here last year. Etsy is basically an online craft fair; it's a place for small-scale (and sometimes not so small-scale) artists/crafters/makers to sell their creations. Even if you don't care to stop by the table, definitely try out the Color feature on the website (be warned: you could spend hours perusing).

Also, curious about what Take Back the Night means?

The S&C is back!

That's right! After a long month of less-tasty dining, the Star and Crescent's chef is back from his honeymoon and ready to cook some delicious meals at Alpha Delt starting this Monday, October 13th.

Meals are served Monday through Thursday for dinner, and Tuesday through Thursday for lunch. Hours and sit-down prices have not changed from last year, they remain:

Lunch: 12:00-12:30, 8 points

Dinner: 5:00-7:00, 10 points.

The policy instituted last semester of a 50 cent surcharge for to go orders will remain in effect this year.

This year's S&C Stewards (Nick Field '09 and Gus Spelman '11) will be selling meal contracts during dining hours through the next two weeks (essentially this consists of buying a set number of meals (lunches/dinners) per week up front at a discount).
