This Saturday night, the folk group Farm to Market will play what very well may be their last show at the Postcrypt Cafe. Founded in 2004 by guitarists/vocalists/songwriters Liron Kranzler, J.D. Porter, and cellist So Sugiyama, Farm to Market describes themselves thusly: “Liron, J.D., and So. Liron writes most of our stuff, sings, and plays […]

Bwog�s Mac has been acting up lately, necessitating a trip to the Apple Store at 58th and Fifth. Luckily, the wonderland of glass and white plastic is open 24/7, which can lead to some odd experiences. Bwog contributor Kate Redburn spent some time at the Genius Bar in the wee hours of the morning, and […]

Columbia to everyone imaginable: Give us money! FIRE to Prezbo: Don’t be a Fascist Free-Speech Oppressor. Or a P#%$y. Middle East Causes Emotional Confrontation Ruminations on the benefits of having a fake I.D. SIPA Dean Lisa Anderson to resign. Hint: It has nothing to do with Ahmadinejad.

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… Ellen and Ashley C ’09 admit their newly painted jungle green Ruggles double has brought them closer together in a […]

Our, um, highest congratulations to the art history department, who have installed a coffee machine in a lounge in Schermerhorn. They’ve circulated the news like it’s the birth of the Messiah. Or something. And they’re going to charge!? Read the gospel email after the jump.

This being the sixth anniversary of the Al-Aqsa intifada, a bunch of Palestinian sympathizers have gathered on the sundial, wearing kaffiyehs and angrily puffing on cigarettes. Socialists, Palestinian nationals, and Mealac majors/TA’s are all in full force. Also, overhead, the sweet sounds of political/cultural hatred: “Your prime minister is a war criminal!” “You’re a fucking racist!” After […]

So, the folks at Gothamist have brought this picture (via flickr) to our attention. According to the information on flickr, this dude is a professor, and he’s standing in the tunnels, our tunnels. Does anyone know his name? Maybe we could send him in as a post-deadline entry to the IvyGate hot prof contest.  

SEEJ has been papering the campus with their cheeky fliers advertising a graffiti/stenciling/street art event they’re throwing in Lerner tonight, and with Shepard Fairey’s Obey showing up on John Jay trays and artists like Banksy getting gala gallery events, this is Columbia’s version of getting hip to the times. Overheard: Regarding the fliers, one of which states […]

Woah. Hold on a second. Did anyone else know that Vermont had plans to secede from the Union? Bwog certainly didn’t—although, in all probability, neither did the vast majority of the residents of Vermont. The plan is being discussed in the forthcoming First North American Secessionist Convention, organized by The Middlebury Institute, which is expected […]
