In Class: Reflection on Peer Review

Someone asked me about the food that they served at Billybobs, and who it appeals to. I did mention the restaurant, however I've never really looked at it as a key thing in the bar, I really have never taken a time to see what's on their menu, but now I will. Both observers were surprised about how they play rap music on Thursdays(college night). I was just as surprised. I visited up here a couple times this summer on Thursdays, and they didn't play rap. It seems like when they realize TCU is back in session they do it to appeal to them. Another thing is that I attached a map of the bar, but I never really talked about colors, or decorations or anything, so I guess I should expand a little bit more on that sort of stuff. A good point I can bring across when talking about rhetorical strategy is what about the space is making certain people feel intimidated, I think this will be something easy to connect to the bigger cultural picture, I already have some good ideas for that. I could talk about how people dress that go there. There is certainly a huge difference between the TCU girls who just try to look perfect, wearing dresses, and expensive boots, and then the regulars, who know if you're going to wear a dress you better wear spandex underneath, and that you're going to swear a ton anyways, so there really is no point in trying to make your makeup look perfect, or your hair, and etc. After reading all of the notes my peers took on my notes, I realize that there are definitely things I'll need to expand on in my actual paper, but I have a pretty good foundation, and have a lot of great ideas.
