Lerner tomorrow, basically

Just realized that midterm season is (once again/always) upon us? Us too. Since you obviously need a break/distraction, artsy fartsy Arts Editor Kyra Bloom brings you happenin’ things on and around campus.

Ongoing

• A cappella groups The Kingsmen, SHARP, and Jubilation! are all doing Valentine’s-grams, so pay up to give your honey a song and potentially embarrass them in front of a lecture full of people.  Check the Lerner ramps and Facebook groups to purchase and/or for locations.

Tonight:

• Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer-prize winning author of Maus, and Françoise Mouly, New Yorker art editor, are talking about their life together as well as their life’s work at 7:30 pm at Symphony Space in the Thalia Theatre.  Tickets are $15 through the Arts Initiative to hear this iconic couple speak about their incredible experience filled with stories and art.

Thursday

• The lovely Schapiro lounge is hosting a “Roast of Love” on Thursday night, featuring Control Top, Chowdah, Fruit Paunch, and some brave stand-up student performers.  The event promises it to be an evening of “hatin’ on love,” so go on over if that’s something that appeals to you.
• GLASS HOUSE ROCKS is also the same evening, complete with an Under the Sea theme.  Tons of student groups are participating, and there’s an “underwater-themed carnival in Roone!” (?!?!?) Come out and support your many peers that make this event possible.

Valentine’s Day

• Sabor is having their first Spring semester workshop…and it’s free! Bring your other half to Lerner 477 at 5 pm for an hour of salsa instruction, followed by an hour of social dancing.  Hint: it’s good practice if you want to attend Sabor auditions later this weekend!

Weekend

• The first ever Ivy Ballet Exchange Performance is happening this Saturday at 8 pm and Sunday at 3 pm in Miller Theatre.  The show will feature dancers and pieces from our own CBC, Harvard Ballet Company (HBC), and Princeton University Ballet (PUB).  Tickets are $10 with a student ID (presumably of any kind, so check it out online or call the box office!

• Plucking at Your Heartstrings: Columbia Classical Performers teams up with the *new* Columbia Piano Club at 7 pm in Lerner C555. The Piano Club will feature jazz sax and a few fun selections to balance out the more classical portion of the evening.
