Now here are some of the highlights from this year's float. Everyone had fantastic costumes and attitudes, even as our fingers went numb, and we got really good energy from the spectators.

ROUS (a.k.a. Jay) |
Wesley protecting Buttercup from Steph/ROUS |
The whole gang! Minus Alyssa and Hana, who showed up later |
We had a great (albeit very cold!) Homecoming parade this year! But first, here's a flashback to last year's float for old time's sake.

Visiting writer Nick Flynn gave a reading today in Isaac's as well as treating everyone to a slideshow of unrelated yet fascinating pictures. Great reading! He says he always waits almost exactly 10 years before writing about something in his life. It kind of puts things in perspective, right?
So I've decided to liven up the blog a little and post more things than just highlights and updates. We are all here for publishing, so let's get some publishing news and topics on this page. Here's a link to an article on Publisher's Weekly's website talking about the bestseller culture: http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/columns-and-blogs/soapbox/article/64583-the-advent-of-a-bestseller.html
What do you guys think? What impact will this bestseller culture have on you down the road?

Hey Fusians,
At last week's meeting our very own Professor, Karla Kelsey came in to talk to us about the business and technical aspects of the publishing and editing world. She also talked about her working experience out of college to present day. It was great having her talk to the F.U.S.E committee, and it was a pleasure! Thanks Karla!

A Visitor: Chris Liek!
Hey Guys and Gals!
At last week's meeting we had our special guest -- Chris Liek -- come by to talk to our FUSE group about a few things. Chris has informed us about one of the many literary highlights in his life, one of the major ones being that the editor of Granta wanted to set up a meeting with him during the fall of next year. Big steps! Chris also works at Columbia and New School.
As for updates, we have raised 161 dollars and 26 cents, roughly rounding out to 107 dollars in profit! Nice job guys!

Dr. Roth visits FUSE
At last weeks meeting for FUSE our very own Dr. Roth, Professor of English and Director of the Jewish Studies Program, payed a visit to talk to us about how he started out and got to where he is now, as well as some of the business involved in publishing and editing. Dr. Roth started reading quite early and found a love of books and literature in his father's Jewish book store (Which also happens to be one of the biggest in the U.S.). One very comforting detail that Dr. Roth shared with us was that he didn't think that he would end up where he was now, and that goes to show that we never know where we are going to be in the future. He also shared with us some of his experiences after college (taking off two years to take time for himself before grad school). It was an honor having Dr. Roth visit FUSE.
