Orientation Concert Not Happening
It’s time for our exciting first look at NSOP 2008! Seems as if this year’s festivities will not include the traditional Orientation Concert on the Steps. You’ll recall that last year Clipse performed with the World Famous Vampire Weekend.
A Columbia Concerts insider explained that it’s “not entirely clear” why there’s no concert, only that “we’re trying to put all of our eggs into the Bacchanal Concert basket, I guess.” He also promises that the Spring Concert will be huge.

SDA has been cutting budgets all over the place; I don’t think NSOP could afford a concert during orientation this year.
NSOP doesn’t pay for or deal with the concert. Columbia Concerts deals with concerts, NSOP only places it in their books.
NSOP is going to be terrible this year. Already saw that their “New York” event was the same thing they did last year. So lame!
what are some of the activities that will happen during orientation i heard about a trip to the met???
the best thing you should look forward to is the group rape-talk (as opposed to group-rape talk) they will have. The key lesson there is, if you have a penis, you are the rapist.
Remember the “mixer” they held on the flight deck of the USS Intrepid?
I think pulling the money together for a BIG spring concert is a good idea. Though that’s assuming they actually do a good job in the spring and get a cool act…… this last spring suuuucked
if in a few years the national become a household name, you’re going to be singing a different tune…
except that grizzly bear has much better chance at that.
ha ha ha ha ha HA! HA!
*remembering wyclef and kanye…
It’s NOT the same as last year, jackass.
BWOG COMMENTER SLANDERS WOMEN UNDER VEIL OF ANONYMITY FILM AT ELEVEN
…in other news, NSOP still sucks, helium lifts balloon…
It’s libel, slander is spoken
I think pulling the money together for a BIG spring concert is a good idea. We could get The Fray!
this is the worst idea that i’ve ever heard.
What do you know about music!? Fray 4 eva!!!!!!!!
*siiiiigh* I remember when Bela Bartok came to play at MY orientation concert. Columbia Concerts has really gone down the shitter since then.
Good Sir,
I remember when the Committee for the Musical Enjoyment at the Orientational Ball chartered a ship and brought Beethoven to our Orientational Ceremonies at College Hall.
I find myself rolling over in my grave ever year when I hear of new acts!
Good Day, sire, I say, GOOD DAY!
bwog, what’s being filmed outside right now? lots of trailers on broadway, and cameras around earl hall.
Gossip Girl
i phoned that one in to bwog last week and no one even cared. what is this godforsaken place coming to?
pray tell, how did last year suck if both grizzly bear and the national are two of the biggest live acts in the country right now?
the only thing that sucked about last year was that i was too slow and i didn’t get tix before they sold out…
oh… that and it was indoors. they should do an outdoor show in riverside park when the weather is nice.
it sucked because they suck
because it takes 3 years of nyc indoctrination for the frosh to become pitchfork loving hipsters so they couldn’t appreciate the brilliance of those bands?
I don’t know what world you live in, but it is clearly not the real world.
we just need beyonce and jay-z
wbar puts on really good shows, and lots of those bands become huge. they’re just promoted really poorly.
any one of any gender or sexual orientation can rape or be raped. don’t be ignorant
