19 CommentsOnce a year, Speccies dress up like they’re in an episode of Gossip Girl and head to their Annual Awards Dinner. The dinner this year was held in the New York Athletic Club, which is the kind of place where if you enter wearing sneakers you have to take the servant’s elevator. We’ve heard reports that it’s pretty lavish. Recently, we discovered just how lavish; Spec’s donors/alumni spent $28,148.50 on dinner, drinks and a venue for the 200-person fundraising event. Says the Post:
The funds generated from the auction, along with the $250 entrance fee, are for more than Speccie keggers; they’re an essential part of keeping the 138-year-old paper, which has been financially independent from the University since 1962, afloat.
We don’t want to spend more time thinking about how awkward Spec’s keggers would be, so here’s the event invoice.
All Bwog has is lots of snacks at meetings, so yeah, we’re jelly.

@Anonamoose I’m just interested why the kosher meals cost so much more than the non-kosher ones.
@Anonymous because u gotta get yahweh to come down and bless that shit
@wow you’re super petty and jealous, bwog. spec is an institution with an alumni base and donors. digitizing the archives was making history available for everyone. you think that was cheap? do you have that capacity? go back to doing your job, which is being terrible
@Methinks I sense a lost spec fan Lolz if BWOG sucks so much why does SPEC get so offended or even care about the articles BWOG posts about them? Clearly you’re both appealing to different crowds, and if some snarky BWOG article really threatens The Spectator, it reveals Spec knows they’re on the border of becoming irrelevant and therefore feel insecure.
@Dude Bwog is always shitting on spec. Spec never writes about Bwog or comments on their activities.
You figure out what this relationship is.
@Anonymous how is this shitting on spec? it’s really interesting to read. spec is forced to acknowledge the existence of bwog when bwog posts everything first and actually has discussions about it in the comments.
@uh huh Yeah, like totally profound discussions in the comments about secret societies and how much Barnard sucks! The apotheosis of intellectual inquiry.
@'14 methinks i sense a bwogger. hi!
bwog has been going down the crapper since 2010, which was when it was last good + relevant.
@CC 14 True, but it’s been on the up since SFT took over.
@Anonymous you know what else had an alumni base and donors? Hitler Youth.
you do the math.
@But What About the Lion though?
@voice of raisin spec commenters: no one reads spec. and its a newspaper. practically speaking, it is a completely superfluous publication. oh and for the most part, the writing really really sucks. no wonder you guys have to hold a 30k party to make yourselves feel important.
@Anonymous yes bwog this is awesome keep being awesome
@Bwog has more than snacks at meetings!! There’s also that raging inferiority complex too
@Anonymous I believe the term was “raging inferiority boner.”
@bwog lol spec, our bad, sorry to upset ur ice queen
@Jake Hershman bwog is loaded
@question did abby keep sending mean gChats until you commented this?
@Hey now Don’t talk shit about Abby. She’s one of the sweetest people on this campus. People project so much that’s just not true about the Spec/Bwog relationship.
