  • Bryan reports that Speed was in fine fettle on Saturday. #wny11 #

  • Thanks to our #wny11 students for a great semester. It was a pleasure #cruising w/ you. #
  • .@NYCArts challenges @jeremoss's readers to respectful dialogue re: @ideasnyc and gentrification/hipsterization of NY. http://bit.ly/iMfl3w #
  • @jesserabbits We will miss it too. We won't be teaching next year & so have very much enjoyed this round (version 8.0). #wny11 #
  • Thanks to our Twitter cohort for #wny11 too. We utilized it more than ever this year & really enjoyed hearing from so many voices this way. #
  • To wit: RT @FlyingHubcap Here's to you, Grandmaster Flash. I will miss #wny11 almost as much as I will miss tweeting about #wny11 #
  • #wny11 Pete Hamill on history, nostalgia, & the costs of greed RT @cire_e The New York We've Lost http://nymag.com/news/features/48277/ #
  • @zunguzungu @gerrycanavan I'm wondering how widespread the low acceptance rate is this year and what the cause is. Jitters? #
  • Today's the 162nd anniversary of the Astor Place Riots. More here: http://bit.ly/9Xqorz #wny11 h/t @leshp @evgrieve #

  • Moral of the story: if you're not following @boweryboys and reading their blog regularly, you really need to get your act together. #srsly #
  • Dear @dmandl,

    When we used the word "utilized" earlier today, we dedicated it to you in our hearts.

    Best,

  • @dmandl Your "gift to editors" comment has been lodged in my brain ever since you Tweeted it. #publicservice #
  • @literarychica You won't be sorry. They're great. #
  • @opheliacat @boweryboys Great! #
  • @jesserabbits We made it harder just for you. (Everyone else will get the regular exam.) #jk #wny11 #
  • @blackburnrecs I hope this prompts an outpouring of "best of the semester" Tweets. What were they thinking? In 1980? #wny11 #comingtoamerica #
  • @blackburnrecs The OST to that film is the first thing I ever illegally reproduced. My dad had a tape machine at work that we used to dupe. #
  • @blackburnrecs It was great: you could make like eight copies at a time or something and give them away. To *his* friends, mostly, not mine. #
  • @jennpelly These lecture live-blogs were great. Another innovation of #wny11 Can't say we've ever had that happen before. #
  • @ultramaricon Glad you were along for the Twitter ride. I loved it when the classroom walls came down this semester. #wny11 #
  • @rtmiyake We should probably just run a whole Allen film series alongside the course. We used to have a film series, actually, but gave up. #
  • @rtmiyake It was hard to find a time that ppl could make it. And it wasn't required, of course. But we had a nice set of supplemental films. #
  • @rtmiyake The virtue of having memorized some songs/poems: You can quote them and then close read them in the exam. #wny11 #
  • #wny11 MT @rtmiyake Understood, though I think Zelig is worth recommending to everyone if only to see W Allen dressed as a Native American. #
  • .@annkpowers on #ellenwillis RT @nprbooks A Celebration Of 'Vinyl' And Pop Critic Ellen Willis http://n.pr/jTPOAx #
  • @jesserabbits Should be, if we did our part. #wny11 #
  • @jesserabbits Thanks, Jesse. Our pleasure to have you here. #wny11 #
  • @_jakemoore #emotions srsly. Great students this year in #wny11 Hard to say goodbye. People better stay in touch. #
  • RT @cire_e Whitman's paradox: New York is here to stay; New Yorkers aren't http://www.economist.com/node/3643507?story_id=E1_PGQPVDS #
  • A bad idea for the new city: @guggenheim axing EV tree to make room for pop-up urban idea center? http://bit.ly/keLbjv Boo. via @evgrieve #
  • Still down about the end of #wny11 but look! Here's @joe_ket from #wny07 Makes us wonder if we have all 8 iterations represented here. #
  • @NYHistory A friend of ours likes to say the Bowery hasn't been the same since they tore down the El. #
  • @joe_ket Just finished version 8.0. Now we'll have at least one year off while @cpatell is in Abu Dhabi. #
  • #ff all y'all MT @TheBackTableNYU @FalesLibrary & @thebacktablenyu! MT @theurbanologist: #ff @NYHistory @NYULibraries @nysarchives & @NYMag #
  • @doublejnyc I don't think we've ever posted the video to the blog. We may at some point if we get @speedlevitch's permission. I'll ask. #
  • So we wound up with just under 1000 tweets in our #wny11 archive. Relive the semester here: http://twapperkeeper.com/hashtag/WNY11 #
