This Weekend Off Campus

November 2, 2012 by

I hope everyone had a good Halloween. Welcome to November.

Now, it is the first friday of November, which means… FIRST FRIDAY ART WALK!!! For those of you who are still unaware of the joys FFAW can bring to Springfield dwellers, I’ll tell you a little bit about it. On the first friday of every month, artists, musicians, and the like head downtown to showcase their talents, free to anyone willing to come. This month’s art walk is Thanksgiving  themed. There are twenty-eight different venues and it starts at 6:00 PM. Make sure you stop by Art Inspired to listen to a performance by Springfield Metro Chorus.

Tonight and tomorrow night is also Skinny Improv Mainstage. For those of you with a love for hilarious improv, this is for you. More information HERE.

More more funny entertainment, check out Kings Street Players tomorrow night on Kings Street. MSU students are hosting Kings Street Players Halloween Spooktacular!!! Oooo spooky. This Halloween special will be featuring a dramatic reading from the Harry Potter fan-fiction “My Immortal,” episode 2 of the Kings Street original parody series “Pokemon Readers Theatre,” zombies, ghosts, and much, much more! Seating is limited so get there early. More information HERE.

Also, in celebration of Native American Heritage Month, Missouri State University and the American Indian Student Association (AISA) wil be hosting the Eighth Annual Native American Heritage Month Powwow tomorrow from noon to 11:300 PM and on Sunday from noon to 6:00 PM.  The Powwow will be featuring traditional singing, dancing and drumming. There will also be vendors providing Native American arts, crafts, books, clothing, jewelry and food. It is taking place in Hammons Student Center, and it’s free. Go out and enjoy it (:

Meyer Library Zombie Tour

September 12, 2011 by Julie Hill

  Sometimes, getting involved can be as simple as grabbing a couple of friends and heading to the library, as our guest blogger, Carlie K. found out last week when she attended the Meyer Open House:

  “Friday, my roommate and I and a couple of girls from our floor went to the Meyer Library for a tour. None of us had been past the front doors of the library, so we thought it would be a good idea to go to this event where we could learn about what the entire library has to offer. This was no ordinary tour though, the staff was zombified. At first I was very confused, but the staff was fun and really useful. Of course like every other event I’ve attended at Missouri State there was free food and prizes, I could get used to this!  We received a handout and instructions on where to go.

The handout had all the different areas the library has, and what you can find or do there. I had no idea the library could have so much useful resources and help for students. We went to nine different stations: Reference and Government Information Desk, Circulation Desk, Center for Learning and Writing (CLAW), Microforms and Copy Services, Music and Media Collections, Maps Collection, Curriculum Resource Center, Computer Services Lab and Special Collections and Archives.

If I did not go on this tour I would have never known about any of these services. Although I did mainly go on the tour for extra credit, I am very happy I went for future reference.”
