Vampire Weekend is not a bunch of hipsters, puh-lease. The band, comprised primarily of the most recent batch of Columbia graduates, is preparing to break out beyond the campus music scene. Sure they all live in Brooklyn but, come on, they love Africa and LaCoste.  Just last spring they played at a Yacht-themed party at […]

All things Asian converged on Low Plaza last night for Nightmarket, a delightful scrum of food, lights, music, and Dance Dance Revolution. Comestibles, sold in chunks for a dollar at most booths, ranged from the authentic to the untraditional, with frosted cupcakes on hand to wash down miso soup and wontons. The entertainment was equally […]

The vending machines in Lerner may no longer afford you the opportunity to get an Ipod with your diet Coke, but their swanky offering nevertheless continue to boggle the mind. The Bwog snapped a couple of photos of exciting additions to the snazzy ensemble: a $20.00 Metrocard (for $19.60!) and a $50 Bluetooth phone! This […]

A trifle frustrated by his team’s inability to score any points against Penn last Saturday, head football coach and august leader Norries Wilson held a rather incendiary press conference following the game, during which he embarked on a rant of symphonic proportions. Here Bwog recaps the diatribe about everything related to football ever in a […]

On October 18, 2006, between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:35 p.m., the suspect described below, robbed or attempted to rob four different victims.  Three of the crimes occurred on W. 112 St. between Riverside Drive and […]

“Do stockbroker-grads really need the categorical imperative?” asks Task Force on Undergraduate Education. Meet the people who make indignantly served, 4AM indigestion possible! Suddenly, Wien looks pretty damn good. Dialogue is hard. Let’s start bustin’ skulls. STAFF EDITORIAL: Teach Old People to Use the Internet

It’s the story that keeps on telling. Bwog presents a few bits of Minuteman news that have come out in the last few hours: Item # 1: Stephen Colbert is one-upping Jon Stewart tonight by bringing none other than Jim Gilchrist himself onto the show (airing at 11:30 and 1:30) as a special guest. Word? […]

For your personal edification, we present another hard-hitting article from the October issue. Out now! It’s sports-tastical! Columbia University is now offering an MS in Sports Management. This is the punch line. Like the ones about British dentistry schools. “We’ve always been good at the gentlemanly and the ladylike athletics,” Lucas Rubin, the program’s director, […]

EC Security guard, after smiling kindly to a woman whose child had been rampaging wildly through the security room: “I just wanna get down there and [slaps his hands together] that shit…God I hate her…” [continues as tipster makes his escape]   In front of Avery: “I mean just because she’s Jewel’s sister doesn’t mean she can […]

Bwog doesn’t have the cash to “pimp your room,” and we certainly don’t want to raid it and then date you. So we bring you the semi-weekly Thursday feature, the “Cribs-esque” Room Hopping, continuing with… Kyle (right) and Jesse C’09 say they are glad to be out of the “beehive” that was John Jay. “My […]

Stuck on the wall alone at the Fall ball, with a tuxedo and a dream? Email bwgossip@columbia.edu and rev up your parents’ stationwagon for a date with one of these lovelies. We’ll even spring $5 for a date. That’s almost two slices at Koronets — or one slice and a soda with two straws! And […]

A few things that Bwog noticed on the Columbia Homepage this morning: – Rich man (Bill Gates) gives another rich man’s (Warren Buffett) money to a third rich man (Jeff Sachs) to, eventually, help poor – Administration puff paper takes note of Bwog idea, interviews faculty bloggers Also, two of our favorite banners from the […]

Well, it finally happened: CTV has realized how to attract viewers.  A post on today’s IvyLeak reports that, last night, at 10:45 PM, our traditionally unwatched television network aired a five-minute clip of hardcore anal sex as part of the show Sexiled.  There was heavy breathing, there were hand-held cameras, and, for the first time […]

In keeping with the previous post about contradictory groups occupying space on Low Plaza, Bwog has recently been alerted to even more wacky goings-on near the steps. A cotillion of men (and a few women) in motley uniforms and conversing in broken English, lined up on the steps to take a group picture, leaving as […]
