SJC Roolz!
St. John’s College is very small - my graduating class was at the time is largest ever, at around 120. That was the Annapolis, MD campus - the Santa Fe NM campus is smaller, still. And yet I still run into fellow grads all the time - once, while waiting in line to see Don Giovanni at the Vienna State Opera House, in, like, Austria, you know. Latest example - of the twelve participants in Craig Shaw Gardner and Jeffrey Carver’s writing workshop at Pandemonium in Cambridge, MA, two were SJC grads. The other one was bearing the internationally-recognizable badge of the SJC grad, which is of course a copy of Plato’s Symposium. Something to read while you’re waiting for the class to start, because, you know, you don’t want to risk not having anything to read while you’re sitting in the basement of Pandemonium Books!
That’s not just bringing coal to Newcastle - it’s more like bringing it to a Precambrian rain forest.
St. John’s in a nutshell.
I’d brought three books in my briefcase, to Pandemonium, for much the same reason.
