The Social Experiment is over. Spec reports that roommates Sharon Wu and Abril Dozal, both CC’13, tied for the win, both accumulating 145 passwords. Ian Kwok and our friends at the Socialist Experiment came just behind them, acquiring 108 passwords. “I didn’t feel the purpose of the game was to get me to talk to […]

Bwog was on our way home from the Abbey (accompanied by our BwogWeather pals—thanks for the Van Gogh shots, Paul!) late the other night when we saw a group of drunk freshpeople being loud and annoying outside Westside. Suddenly, one fresh-boy left the group and up to Koronet’s. He tried to yank the door open. It […]

Thursday night we gave a forecast of impending Harry Potter madness. Today we follow up with a retrospective of all the wonderful Potter pride that we witnessed. Here are some highlights: Lots of Columbia/Barnard people were spotted at the 3:30 AM IMAX show at Lincoln Square. One gay student on campus wore a t-shirt to […]

Despite complaints from CU-EMS about their current space (too small, too noisy, too co-ed), ABC voted not to recommend CU-EMS’ move from its current location in the basement of Carman to Broadway 103.

Bwog’s Resident Shakespeare Connoisseur Peter Sterne reports from the VagBox: It’s hard to think of a Shakespearean play that fits Columbia better than Macbeth (OK, maybe). This classic tragedy of all-consuming ambition might serve as a warning to those who have already decamped to Butler in anticipation of finals, so long as they can tear themselves away from their […]

Katheryn Thayer saw JGL IRL (!) this afternoon, promoting his new project hitRECord. CUNUFF organized the event. Joseph Gordon Levitt (but please, call him Joe) is pretty much a movie star and the founder of hitRECord.org: a website that started as an outlet for his own personal creativity and exploded into an international network of […]

Bwog’s Musical Correspondent Lily Icangelo reports with a full bladder: When I found out that the Columbia Musical Theatre Society was putting on a show called “Urinetown: The Musical” and that it’s general premise was about a town where private bathrooms were outlawed and peeing was regulated—I knew I had to see it. I may […]

As one of the Columbia Greenmarket’s biggest fans, Bwog likes to stop and chat with the lovely people who supply us with farm fresh produce. This week, Zoe Camp met with the good people of Samascott Orchards—you may know it as the booth with the awesome apple cider. We may be more than halfway into fall, […]

In addition to posting Hillel’s flyer, we’ve uploaded CSJP’s, which you can now read here (.doc file). Bwog does not endorse the position of any student group. We will post information sent to […]

Head over to Low Plaza anytime between now and 4:00 p.m. for free food and giveaways from the V117 Creative Team. The Facebook event advertises free V117 ping pong balls (the perfect addition to your Thursday night!) and Monster (it’s Four Loko minus the fun part!). Bwog suggests you check it out, especially if you’re […]
