Apart from right now, when is the last time you remember seeing a red carpet rolled out down Low steps? Bwog tried to determine what was going on- the rotunda is filled with red decorations, balloons, etc.- but the information office didn’t seem to know. (We did spot Nicholas Dirks lurking around the rotunda, however.)

@sdfsadfsad oh shit he said he was talking to bob kraft son!
@Lorna The red lights make Low look a little suspicious, like a den of sin and orgies and malevolence. Not as elegant as they may have planned. White lights should have been sbstituted.
@Dem Trustees were on campus.
@Sprinkles World AIDS day. Duh.
@jds it’s spelled “Low”
@me. i was actually talking to bob kraft on lowe steps and he said that it’s just some kind of fundraiser
@hmm the last time I remember this happening was when vladimir putin was here in fall ’03. take that, underclassmen.
@but no snipers this time.
@As I mentioned previously, the red carpet is merely an illusion from afar. If you had been more intrepid journalists, you would’ve approached the “red carpet” and realized that it is merely PrezBo’s time of the month again.
