Congratulations and thanks to all those who helped organize/run/ attend the reunion last weekend. very cool to get a better sense for some of our own local history here.

On oct 2 (this tuesday!) at 7pm, harvard bookstore (in harvard square, mass ave and plympton st) generously offered to host our first mesj event of the year: our very own laurel ulrich will be discussing her new book, "well-behaved women seldom make history," a phrase i think she picked up from a bumper sticker i've seen around town. ok, in all seriousness, she will be speaking about her new book at an official event at harvard bookstore, and it seemed like a very appropriate event for any mesj folks who might be interested. (sidenote, the catchy title indeed appears everywhere, but is her own...come find out more.)

details: tuesday october 2nd 7 pm
free, no tickets required
harvard bookstore (mass ave/plympton)

we're also looking forward to some sort of event for the new film troy has been talking about (www.untoldstoryofbl ackmormons. com for trailers, etc.) during the weekend of oct 12-14. more details forthcoming.

hope to see some of you tuesday night! (and good luck to laurel...)
