In case you missed what’s what happened on Low Plaza this evening, the CSC Night Market brought a different sort of lion to life: Photos by Justin Vlasits. A handful more after the jump.

Better late than never, here are some off-campus alternatives courtesy of Bwog correspondent Pierce Stanley. John Scofield at Blue Note Making his only East Coast tour stop at the Blue Note Jazz Club, Scofield and the ScoHorns celebrate the release of jazz funk guitarist John Scofield’s newest album This Meets That.  October 19-21. 131 W. […]

Over the last week we asked you, our readership, to submit your entries to our first Photoshop competition featuring your favorite/least favorite professors in remodeled garb.  Anyway, we hated to have to choose a winner, so instead we decided to play the proud parent and post all the lovely artwork we received on what we’d […]

Even though M.I.A.’s latest release Kala has been out for half a year, she still managed to sell out new venue Terminal 5. Bwog staffer Lucy Tang treks to the boondocks of midtown and finds that some artists are worth a 2-hour wait. M.I.A. makes me feel less of a woman. Artist, singer, dancer, political […]

Noose goes through DNA testing — meanwhile, we realize NYPD “Hate Crime Task Force” sounds badass Please, the MPAA is so 1999! Better luck this weekend, hopefully? The title of this op-ed pretty much says it best Published yesterday, but wow, this is letter is old-school (literally!)

A Bwog tipster recently brought to our attention that the Alpha Delta Phi pirate flag has been missing from the 114th Street brownstone for awhile now. What happened? “It was apparently stolen by MIT’s chapter of the frat last week,” so says our tipster (although this has not been confirmed by ADP itself). If so […]

Sorry guys, The Powers That Be found out that CUIT webpages weren’t tracking your print quota and now you are returned to 100 pages per week plus your semester reserve.  Let’s just pray that Mahmoud doesn’t come back…

This year, Bwog’s doing a better job of getting to every student production and telling you about it. First up this season is Cowboys and Indians, a new play by occasional B&W contributor Will Snider. We understand the underlying premise of Cowboys and Indians: a pill-popping yuppie kid (Brett Austin Robbins) falls in with a […]

It’s been awhile since the last installment of the cart tour, partly because of rumors that any chicken and rice in our immediate locality would be rendered irrelevant by the arrival of Sammy’s Halal, the 2006 Vendy award winner that was reported to be moving in to 111th? street, and then mysteriously disappeared. Now, the […]

AJ Pascua of the 2010 council has eye-smarting t-shirts for sale on the Lerner ramps. Their slogan, obscured in this photo: “Our grass is greener.”  

The New York Times‘ City Room has a profile on the famous Dizzy Gillespie Chair and WKCR’s current fundraising efforts. It seems that WKCR is poor–more so than most Columbia organizations, apparently–and if you want the marathon fundraising broadcast to stop, send cash. An unrelated bizarre Columbia tidbit, artist/druggie/photographer/hipster Dash Snow (punk polaroids of youth […]

Islamo-fascist Awareness Week is almost upon us, but it seems that promised guest Sean Hannity won’t be among the celebrants. From a College Republicans listserv e-mail: “Unfortunately, while Sean Hannity has been promoting his appearance at Columbia for weeks now and wants very much to come to our campus, there has been a serious illness […]

Forget football–real fans follow club sports. Bwog freelancer (and water polo team member) Jason Patinkin reports.  Columbia’s big-name varsity teams, despite a little help from their friends, are still bottom-feeders in the world of collegiate athletics.  But for perhaps the highest  talent-to-cash ratio,  check out the in the truly underfunded and actively neglected realm of […]

Even though Bwog has midterms too, it’s still trudging along. No QuickSpec today, but perhaps these Ivy League-related stories will brighten up your stay in Butler.   Look on the bright side, Carman may be infested with Natty Ice cans, but at least there’s no scabies. To be fair, professor housing is really nice.  Nudity- […]

Sick of playing beer pong in McBain every night of the weekend? Lucky for you, Bwog’s got some off-campus alternatives. Control at Film Forum Sam Riley resurrects a young Ian Curtis, former frontman of influential post-punk band Joy Division, in Anton Corbijn’s biopic, Control. Curtis, who hanged himself a month short of his twenty-fourth birthday, […]
