Bwog freelancer Lucy Sun takes our guide to Sunday morning on an intellectual journey. Tim Keller is in the middle of a sermon about intense religious experiences. “I had to ask Him to stop so that I could get some rest,” he says, with perfect comic timing. The audience laughs, and Keller doesn’t frown.  Dr. […]

In which Bwog generalist Chris “The Frank Bruni of Amsterdam Ave.” Morris-Lent reviews the leftmost column of sandwiches offered by everyone’s favorite surrogate cafeteria, Hamilton Delicatessen (est. 1991). GODFATHER Description: With a name suggestive of Al Pacino’s greatest performances and a variety of meats within its buns that would put even the most diversified of […]

Going by the tone of tonight’s candlelight vigil (and counter-protest), the fact that the hunger strike has ended doesn’t change anything. The strikers still plan on holding vigils every night at 9. They still plan on camping out on the lawn between College Walk and Butler. And, as speakers and attendees to tonight’s vigil reiterated, […]

Following the release of a joint statement on the agreed-upon academic concessions–posted after the jump, in all its wonky glory–the four remaining hunger strikers will start weaning themselves off not eating after a vigil and press conference, same time same place (9PM at the sundial).  Anything happen on Manhattanville? Nope. The story on that will […]

Bwog daily editor David Iscoe watched a movie, really liked it, and wrote about it. While The Darjeeling Limited and American Gangster got a lot of anticipation, perhaps rightfully so, there was no movie that I’d been waiting for longer than No Country for Old Men; it’s a Coen brothers movie based on a Cormac […]

Now that the academic demands are taken care of, the hunger strikers are still going hungry for the Manhattanville expansion.  But in an e-mail to the Community Board 9 listserv, CB 9 chairman Jordi Reyes-Montblanc told them to knock it off: “I again beseech you to stop your hunger strike as it pertains to the […]

Once upon a Thursday dreary, into Hillel I wandered weak and weary and heard many a piece of dreadful lore… The 22nd Annual Joyce Kilmer Memorial Bad Poetry Contest had many moments, ranging from hilarity to mediocrity to…is that Umbrella in Latin? Whether it was Columbia Blue balls from the window to the wall or […]

CUArts is bribing you with free food at 1:00 PM in the Satow Room! You’ll probably have to stick around and hear about free money for a while too–and internships and tickets and arts programming–but Bwog can think of worse ways to fill your stomach.

These alumni certainly did not go without dinner last night Meanwhile, it was business as usual on the picketers’ campgrounds “gay pigeons, erotic German love poetry dedicated to a waitress, a comparison between love and cheese, a love of nachos. . .” Give in, already? No! Not yet!   Plus: Here’s how the Sun tells […]

The Met puts on fabulous events just for college kids every couple of months. Bwog correspondent Lucy Sun attended last night, snapped a few photos, and had a swimmingly good time. Young, warm people formed a ridiculously long line outside the Met tonight for a masked ball in honor of the Met’s new galleries for […]

Low Plaza became a peaceful battlefield this evening as a sizeable crowd of people convened by means of the now 700-member facebook group “We do NOT support the hunger strikers” gathered by Alma Mater just half an hour before the strikers’ nightly vigil at the sundial. Formally, the group stood there for only about 20 […]

On Tuesday night, Bwogger Jamie Johns braved the mosh pits to see Battles perform. Battles have been together since 2003. Before that they played in groups like Helmet, Don Caballero, Lynx, Storm and Stress, Tomahawk. Their latest record, Mirrored, could be described as experimental, techno, new music, math rock, jazz and yet none of this […]

In which Bwog daily editor Alexandra Muhler sits in on a discussion about Latin American literary identity. Last night, Columbia – or should I say, co-LOOM-bee-ah – hosted the Planeta Lecture: Spanish-Language Literary Voices and the United States.  The event’s four featured authors explored the relationship between New York City and Latin America, far beyond […]
