We've got Terra Chips, seaweed, Yaya's White Cheddar Popcorn, pad thai, and gluten-free, wheat-free pretzles. We're also happy to keep our refreshing lime aid, and especially excited to welcome back GT's Kombucha!

Sponsorships Are In!

Hey y'all!

Our semester sponsorships are ready and itching to be used! Each semester we grant financial sponsorships to students from the 5 Cs who need money for their thesis, internships, special projects, or something related to their work or our community here on the campuses.

We have simple, snappy forms available in the Motley, or if it's more convenient for you, right here:

So please, PLEASE utilize the money that we're dying to give away for a great cause! We'd love to hear what you're up to, and more importantly, we would love to support you in it!

We hope the beginning of the semester is scootin' on by (in the best way possible), and we look forward to seeing you all in the Mot. So much love!

The Motley is Open!

We had our opening night, full of fantaSEA and underwater glory, on Thursday, September 9, 2010, and we don't plan on slowing down any time soon.

This semester we welcome new pastries from The Last Drop Café in Claremont, including spinach and cheese empanadas and vegan cookies! We also have a large variety of student baked goods coming our way, as well as the employee art show on display.

Fall 2010 is going to be full of growth and expansion for the Motley. We're focusing on bringing in new and different flavors to our community, which means that we need your help! We welcome any and all suggestions about our food and drinks, music, art, and the general madness that is the Motley.

We can be your melody, so come start off your fall madness with the magical Motley crew!

MUSIC OF THE WEEK!

Jarrod Dickenson LIVE at the Motley this Sunday, April 18th!

He is a fabulous folk, acoustic, blues musician from Austin, Texas.

There are songwriters who come and go without ever really impacting our lives, and then there are songwriters whose words seem to bore straight into our souls, and never let go. Their songs bother us. They simply can’t go in one ear, and out the other. Rather, they have to be processed, slept on and digested. They are the kind of songs that tug at our hearts, and challenge our minds. Jarrod Dickenson is most definitely in the latter category. He will take you back in time to the days of The Great Depression and WWII with captivating stories of old. He’ll make you reflect on your own life with heart-wrenching songs of love lost, and he’ll remind you that somewhere in the midst of all the chaos there is still the hope of a brighter tomorrow. His songs have the unique ability of making you see what he is seeing, and feel what he is feeling. One merely has to listen to the raw emotion in his voice to know that Jarrod is not simply a fine story-teller, but also someone who has truly experienced that which he so powerfully sings of.
