Logbook- Spring, 1998

 File — Box: 2, Folder: 2

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

Fliers and logbooks from the student-run Meridian Coffeehouse at William & Mary.  The fliers advertise events such as music shows, jam sessions, poetry readings, holiday parties, discussion groups, film screenings, creative performances, dance parties, and other events.  Some specialized events include John Waters Eve, Divination Night, Alice in Wonderland Night, Body Painting and Drum Circle, the opportunity to star in "Greg's Greasy Lust Movie," fundraiser concerts, and "Infoshop" presentations on literature and activism.  Party themes include Feminist, Spacedrugsrobots, Cross Dressing Cross Decade, and Black Valentines Day.  Included is a print-out of an article from the Virginia Informer about a robbery at the Meridian in November 2009.

Each logbook contains artwork and written entries by the Meridian staff and customers from a given semester.  Many entries are addressed to the Meridian staff and customers, discuss or reflect on the Meridian, or discuss other aspects of college life.  Administrative documents such as sign-up lists and fliers are sometimes included. Some of the logbooks contain pictures of Meridian staff and people associated with the Meridian, as well as pictures of Meridian events like "Grits Wrestling."  A forward in the Meridian's 5th logbook (Fall 1997/98) details the goals of the logbook at that time.
