@Veteran again again “everyone new”
make that “knew”
sorry
@Veteran again I didn’t get that either, until I went to the movie on Monday night. Basically, since everyone has already seen Casablanca x number of times, everyone new when all of those great, now cinematic-cliche lines were going to come up. Every time, the audience held its collective breath and the silence was nearly palpable, but then, before the line in question was complete, everyone would break out into applause and cheers, hence:
“Here’s looking at you ki-BLAHHH!”
“Of all the gin joins in all the world, she had to walk into mi-WAAAAAAAA!”
“I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you to find that there has been gambling going on in this establiWOOOOOOWOAAAAAAA!!!!”
etc, etc…and so on…
@interesting theory As someone who went to DC’s version of the event (btw, national mall > bryant park) I think Steph may have been referring to the ridiculous strings that accompany every climactic moment in that movie.
@bogart “here’s looking at you ki-BLAHHH.”
what does this mean?
@great list of things to do when you’ve got the mean reds.
@cinnabon http://clubfreetime.com/vieweventdetails.asp?ID=71881
@skeptic is this cinnabon shit substantiated? i need to know
@steph quan holy shit that video is amazing
@Veteran advice-giver Sara: Just so you know, you have to arrive a good fifteen minutes before 5 in Bryant Park to even get a chance at a spot, line up along the edge of the lawn with blanket/towel in hand, and once the 5 o’clock whistle sounds, you kinda gotta just run and dive.
How about I just let this prove my point:

@sara arrived at Bryant Park way before the movie started, but apparently a few hours too late! The place was completely packed!
@happy concertgoer Korn was in the first Projekt Revolution in 2004 so it was xcore. This one seems just emoish.
@listservs? is there a list of columbia email lists somewhere?
@(suspicious) why do you want to know if there’s a list of CU listservs? Are you some sort of wide-eyed first-year who literally wants to sign up to every single one?
Take this advice: do it the old fashioned way. Go to Low steps whatever day that huge fair is, walk up to tables, take the free candy, and sign every piece of paper you can. Allow yourself to be wooed by the incredible charisma coming from some of the booths: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Nightline, College Democrats, King’s Crown Shakespeare Troupe, I could go on and on. I’m still on a South Asian club mailing list, and I’m white as the driven snow.
If you must know, then here’s my understanding, which could be way off. Many clubs, departments, etc. manage their e-mail lists through a Columbia system (this gives them an @columbia.edu address). There is probably a list of these somewhere. However, be warned that many clubs don’t manage the list that way, they have their own way, which may or may not involve a crumpled sheet of notebook paper. So there’s certainly not a comprehensive list of every listserv of consequence.
What would help you get an answer is if you posted more information about what you’re looking for and why.
@i'z luking fer teh buttseckz bekuz im teh gayz LOLZ
@is that artillery fire?
….or is it my heart pounding?
@uh yeah... Tokyo Police Club is def sold out.

@does anyone know why ellen baker isn’t teaching the american labor class anymore? ssol changed it to someone named michael merrill.
@...what? shit.
@boo Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Boo.
@Giulia Also: Tuesday has Bonnie and Clyde playing at McCarren Park Pool, and isn’t Tokyo Police Club already sold out? Would be important info for anyone bothering to make their way down there…
@rmb Tom Paxton is playing on the 18th, not the 19th – there are two days of the 24th Annual Roots of American Music Festival. And it’s folk music, not country music.
