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.

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 […]

Purim was the winning word for the 1983 National Scripps Spelling Bee.  It’s also a perfectly good excuse to get dressed up and drunk this weekend. 1) Midnight Masquerade: Megilahs of the Rich & Famous The Chabad of Columbia is organizing a massive party on the East side and you don’t need to be Jewish […]

Last night, Columbia poli-sci professors Robert Jervis and Richard Betts tag-teamed Mount St. Vincent’s College’s Joseph Skelly on the situation in Iraq and Bwog artist Rachel Lindsay was on scene. This one was begging for a cartoon.
