ONE DIRECTIONFEST 2015: The Reckoning

Date: Nov 13, 2015 at 5:00pm to 7:00pm
You and me got a whole lot of history—it's already time for the THIRD biannual except-for-that-time-I-was-abroad ONE DIRECTION FELLOWSHIP, that time when all the members of Eta Phi's One Direction Senate gather to share the Keynote presentations we have made about One Direction during the year, to watch videos of our hideous sons, to cry as if we are getting paid for it. YES, it is a joyous event, and this year, by design, the fellowship falls upon the feast of the release of MADE IN THE A.M., our beautiful bog trolls' fifth studio album. We must celebrate. It has been a rough year. Our spring 2015 One Direction fellowship was derailed from being a joyful event into being a terrifying journey of grief in which we stared into the void and a naughty man stared back, a time of great disappointment and misfortune. However, we have risen from the ether stronger and more resilient, with a new album of sick tunes to buoy us ever onward. "I want to build you a boat, one just as strong as you are free," One Direction sing us on this new album, but little do they know they have already done that; they have bailed us out when we thought we were shipwrecked, and we realize now: our hearts aren't, in fact, going to sink. Anyway, as before, I ask that you take a moment to fill out this survey in advance to provide a demographic overview of our current One Direction Senate: https://katherinerm.typeform.com/to/cdlBVk Likely, as it is the day of the MITAM release, we will be listening to the album as loudly as we can get the sound to go, but also we will let the night take us where it wills. If you have a Keynote to present please send it to me in advance of the event so that I may be prepared. Please prepare for serious academic discussions of One Direction and also come prepared to duel people because sometimes it does come to that, as well we know. I hope to see you there. Love You Goodbye (lol sob)
