Spotted: Anthony Da Costa–the most electrifying thing to happen to acoustic guitar since actual electric guitars–at the Days on Campus activities fair, currently in Roone.
Says he’s definitely headed to Columbia in the fall, and has his sights set on living in John Jay. (Ladies, take note.) Plus: he’s walking around with his mom–be still our hearts!

All’s a-twitter for Bacchanal next week and, on an only-vaguely-related note, Columbia musicians (or Columbia-hopeful musicians) are making waves all over the City.
First up: Anthony Da Costa, our charming folksinger prospy is returning tonight to the tiny exposed-brick room that loves him. The Postcrypt coffeehouse, that is. Da Costa’s website recommends “coming early and getting a good seat cause they go pretty fast!” Adorable exclamation point, no? Aw. In addition, Da Costa writes that “The Postcrypt,” as he calls it, is “one of my favorite places to play, period…totally chill, unplugged, great atmosphere, intimate concert!” He’s supposed to start at 10:30, but you heard the man: go early.
Second on the Bwog musical beat, Reni Lane, CC ’10 (you may have heard her on The L-Word), recently popped up in fashiony-type blog Refinery 29. Lane attended the Paper Magazine Beautiful People Party last Thursday, and a blogger hung out with her, then mentioned it on those wonderful things, the internets. Fantastic!

Last night’s Postcrpyt show featured a breakout performance by a one Mr.Anthony Da Costa of Pleasantville, New York. According to eyewitnesses, Columbia’s next great folk-music lady-killer already has Postscrypters (men and women, actually) completely swooning.
Oh, and he’s only 17 years old. In a move that only heightened his adorableness, he brought along his dad, who videotaped the show. “His voice is like honey, he has a Harry Potter aesthetic, he hunches over when he plays the guitar and does this thing where mid-chorus he’ll just nudge up his glasses a touch,” said an audience member, mid-swoon.
Da Costa hopes to join Blake Lively and Jim Cramer’s daugher in the class of ’13, and Bwog’s heard that the people of Postcrypt are writing him an additional letter of recommendation.
But until your new crush arrives on campus, you can get your fill of Da Costa’s music on his MySpace. Or with this New York Times profile. Or his official website.
