-Via EW.com We’re so close to summer that it’s about time we re-enter the city to prepare for all the free time we’re about to have (Don’t question our logic, just enjoy yourself). FRIDAY New Music Bake Sale Friday 7pm-midnight, First Presbyterian Church 124 Henry St. at Clark St.                                                      A fundraiser for New Music that […]

Bwog’s Postmodern correspondent James Rathmell, who is really a synthesis of previous Bwog art correspondents, spent a few hours with the loveable Teuton Thomas Demand. He brings us this report. Though a lecture with the pretentiously alliterative title “Fiction, Fact & Fabrication” sounds like something better suited for an art school than Avery’s Wood Auditorium, […]

Before you trudge up the stairs to Ferris, consider a free alternative: Music on the Ramps returns this week with a triumphant mix of sandwiches and, uh, well, some really catchy music. There’s also macaroni salad and free drinks. Hurry! – Photo by JCD

 -Via The Eye This edition of the Eye is all about stars and success stories here at Columbia. Feel free to grumble about it. Who looks at King Lear while doing math, anyway?

 -Photo via Princeton Online The City tries to save us from vicious dogs. Somehow, people are outraged. Take Back the Night is going to clean house.  The Earth Institute is going to clean the world…with a new major.

The War on Fun is bringin’ you down. You have two options: drink 40’s somewhere else, or promise yourself that, without a doubt, you will never give a penny to this god awful place as long as you live. Senior Fund and its awkward propaganda be damned! Well, unless you’re too cool for mimicking Obama’s […]

Tonight’s College Days festivities will include not only free food, but apparently “prizes” (of the elementary school carnival sort, Bwog hopes) and most importantly, the chance to be dubbed a “Columbia University Royal.” That’s right, you can lord above the rest, preside in all your glory at the Kings Ball tomorrow night, and they might […]

Like many other college campuses, Columbia sees an explosion of events every April, as the warm weather and the pending exam period leads groups to trip over each other in occupying Low Plaza. The overlaps are hardly without amusement, of course: Bwog looks forward immensely to the 4/20 screening of Alice in Wonderland coinciding with […]

What’s the worst thing about being unemployed in Morningside? That sinking, defeated feeling of utter despair that comes with craving a mood boosting, delicious nutritious meal at, well, almost any sit-down restaurant, and then realizing you can’t come close to affording it.    Lucky for those still unemployed seniors, Thai Market now officially recognizes your […]

Of course everyone knows that, but tell your […]
