After postponing the Give and Go Green Sale yesterday, the EcoReps have come through! Those of us who have avoided the annual Bed, Bath & Beyond voyage need not go another night with barren kitchens. Stop by the Broadway Lounge at 11 to pick up “upperclassman items,” such as kitchen supplies, at a handy discount from their retail prices. Now you can feel good about helping the environment and stop eating your Easy Mac with a butter knife.

Upperclassman sophistication
The Eco reps are at it again! In the Broadway lounge they are selling “upperclassmen items,” like kitchen supplies, at a fraction of their Bed, Bath & Beyond retail price. Plus you get a hearty helping of virtuous feelings.
According to a commenter, the sale has been moved until tomorrow. It’ll still be at the same time in Broadway lounge.
They apologize for the inconvenience.

By the sounding of the Conch, we summon you to the Green Sale in the John Jay lobby. At the annual Give and Go Green event, people donate their lightly used fridges and ethernet cords, and now you can buy them for a fraction of their Target prices. We call dibs on that blue chair.
The sale runs until 4, but we hear the EcoReps are really moving some merchandise (i.e. no fridges), so get there now. There will be a second sale on Tuesday with more upper-classmen-y things like kitchen appliances. Some pics for inspiration:

If this Craigslisting is to be believed, it appears as though Cafe Fresh on 121st and Amsterdam — the School of Social Work hangout known for its beautiful location and slow-as-molasses service — could be up for sale.
UPDATE, 12:26pm: A call to Cafe Fresh reveals that it is not, in fact, selling itself. So the ad is either a prank, or there’s another corner cafe that started 2.5 years ago selling coffee and American fare on Amsterdam avenue in the 120s.
The post says the place makes $550,000-$600,000 per year, but no word on how much they’re asking. Hey, now seems like a good time to get into the restaurant business!
Also while knocking around on everyone’s favorite internet marketplace, we found a benevolent reverend studying at Columbia advertising his (or her) marriage officiation services for FREE. So get off your ass and pop the question already; this offer may not be around forever
Have you been wondering why the Lerner Box Office has been boarded up for weeks? Chad Miller, Events and Outreach Manager of the Columbia Arts Initiative, has all the answers – CUArts has been working with the Office of the Provost, Columbia College, and Student Services to create an all-new Ticket and Information Center, which opens tomorrow.
According to Chad, the TIC will be selling “tickets to on-campus productions and events, discounted tickets to Broadway, Off-Broadway, first-run films and events at major cultural and arts institutions as well as information on how to connect to the arts here and around town.” Tickets can be purchased with cash or credit card, and www.tic.columbia.edu promises that students will be able to use flex to pay for tickets soon. As an added bonus, anyone who buys or reserves a ticket with the TIC by March 7 gets a FREE subscription to Time Out New York. Exciting!
Sure, to a certain extent you’re at the mercy of the textbook companies (a.k.a. Fun Killers). But at least you can avoid being gouged too badly by shopping around, plus avoid lines in late January: the Columbia Bookstore and Labyrinth both have course listings online, and although they’re not complete, in all likelihood your calc class will have its syllabus on there. If those prices are still too high to stomach, check out campusI.com, which will compare prices at university bookstores all over the country.
Harness the power of the internet! Because you might as well do something useful while sitting on the couch surfing the net.

In hopes of catching you before you make that final trip to Bed, Bath and Beyond (or before you trash the packaging and receipts), Bwog asks upperclassmen which items were the most useless? The most underused? That Dust-Buster you’re going to use during downtime? The ironing board that totally fits between your bed and your desk? Perhaps they belong on this list, and not on Carman 6?
Free food 11:30am in Lerner and a little classier street fair action (at least compared to Saturday) all day on Low PLaza.
