Bwog occasionally likes to sit in on CCSC meetings, just for kicks. Things of note: – The meeting commenced with a furious marshmallow fight, during which Bwog nearly got beaned while tapping away in the audience. President Flaxman had to bang his shoe on the table to halt the crossfire. –  George Krebs, on the […]

It’s not as if this joke hasn’t been made before, but Bwog thinks that CPR has pulled it off pretty well in its new T-shirt design. Although, admittedly, the bar has been set pretty low. Available here!  

Behold Surgam, the literary magazine of the Philolexian Society. It was scheduled to come out in February, we hear, but the mail room lost it, so here’s a PDF. (All the links are the same.) A timely shoutout to decorum and sangria (pg. 1) Sapphic? (pg. 6-7) Rushdie’s wife is pretty hot, isn’t she (pg. […]

With their latest album Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? at the top of WBAR’s charts and two shows on March 9th and 10th at Irving Plaza, Of Montreal‘s been keeping busy as they’ve made their way into the hearts of many a college hipster here in New York. Bwog contributor Ashley Nin caught up with keyboardist […]

We just heard about an exciting astronomical phenomenon occurring this evening- a total lunar eclipse! Bwog is going out right now to try our luck against the encroaching clouds, but it ends 6:57PM EST, so get moving! Update: Reports from the steps are saying that it’s too cloudy to see…

A tipster snapped a picture of this defenestrated ROLM phone on the sidewalk under Hogan. Modern man’s triumph over technology or further proof that we’re all fucked?

There’s nothing like a t-shirt to make you feel more connected to an abstract political organizing tool. Like their Republican counterparts, the Dems now have their own shirt design, which proclaims, “The countdown has begun,” on the front and, “Time to kick some [insert donkey picture here]” on the back. Cheeky! Bellicose! Sexy!  

News has it (or shows, rather) that Barnard radio station WBAR has unleashed a new website, featuring a new-and-improved albeit bizzarely colonial layout. Noteable changes also include a “Now Playing” sidebar that features a photo for the show currently on air, a more organized online schedule, and a “Show of the Week” feature if you’re […]

Hey guys, guess what time of year it is? Time for HOUSING REGISTRATION. Let the drama begin. Bwog wishes the best of luck to those embarking on the journey into the land of lottery numbers. You’ve got until March 28th. (In the meantime, you can virtually tour/dream of that Watt single by browsing in here.)

You may have seen the fat ad supplement in the Spec the other day about the John Jay Awards, which brought in $1.2 million for Columbia last night. Bwog freelancer Addison Anderson has the story from the ground level.  Last night I went to Cipriani on 42nd Street to introduce Eric Foner at the John […]

If you’re looking for something to do in the upcoming days before spring break or are simply wanting a break from midterm studies, check out these upcoming events sponsored by the Center for the Core Curriculum and CU Arts Initiative: Members of the Classic Stage Company are doing a reading of Hamlet in Miller Theater […]

The greatest narratives involve the pursuit of the unattainable. While Captain Ahab had Moby Dick, Bwog daily editor David Iscoe has a more humble aim: Befriend the turkey that lives in Morningside Park. Here, he recounts his foray into the wild. “Hey, what kind of bird is that?”   A man pushing a hand-truck down […]

The lab monkeys get to play videogames? For juice? If the money “flew in freely as wine” at the John Jay awards that must have been some party Getting artsy for Manhattanville SPRINGBREAKWOOHOO Taking better care of bias incidents

The Local Flavor burrito shop at Broadway Presbyterian on 114th re-opened in early February.  They’re currently operating from 11-3 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so Bwog stopped by today to take some pictures and taste test. The reincarnation of Local Flavor is more or less the same operation as last year – an experimental entrepreneurial project […]

A few tipsters report that Morton Williams has special floral baskets for single supermarket shoppers.  Perhaps the idea is that you’ll spot each other while choosing between fruits…”Do these melons look juicy?”…and leave together, or something. This development comes with lots of high- and middle-brow buzz about Laura Sessions Stepp’s new book, Unhooked: How Young […]
