You can slink back to the Reference Room, get to Lerner without having to cross College Walk and stretch out on the lawns again–the Abacchalypse is over. For those of you who skipped the event or were too diligently following Snoop’s words of wisdom, Bwog was almost fully alert to gather the following interesting events. Snoop […]
Folks seem to be displaying solidarity in the spirit of International Labor Day lately. People are coming together to help the victims of the Alabama tornado, the worst in the country since 1925. (New York Times) Scholars are in solidarity with workers in Iran. A signatory to the letter addressed to imprisoned workers includes Hamid […]
With a whopping ~$100K budget, it’s understandable that people hold such high expectations for the Vshow. The 117th iteration succeeded in tackling this year’s scandals, but failed to deliver the polished production we wanted. Clocking in at over 2 hours (plus intermission), the show strove for topicality, as it should, and handled sensitive issues tastefully […]
Holi 2011—it happened just this morning in front of Pupin! Scores of Columbia students gathered to engage in the powdered paint fight that is Holi, a whimsically carefree Hindu celebration of spring. This Bwogger (post-shower, thankfully—that paint is super hard to get out of your hair!) can honestly say that the sense of Columbia community […]
Eager fans have just started trickling in. Overheard from an earlybird: “I feel like I’m first in line at the Apple Store for the iPad2.” The lawn is divided into four quadrants which will be opened as people show up. They’re definitely checking IDs, but bringing in bags seems to be fine. Just don’t bring […]
The end is nigh. Run for cover. It’s finally happened: THE REFERENCE ROOM IS EMPTY AT 1:15 PM ON A SATURDAY DURING A FINALS WEEKEND. It’s a sign of the times–the nerds have gone to take cover from the impending doom that even the mighty walls of Butler can’t keep out. IT’S THE ABACCHALYPSE.
Given the world’s going to end today (isn’t that what the Abacchalypse is supposed to herald?), we thought you’d might like to have a beer (or six) before you go. But in case picking from Morningside Heights’ myriad beer selection gives you a lil’ anxiety, allow us to present your best purchase options at our […]
Remember the dude who told us some cool stuff about dreams last year? Well, the illustrious Dr. Mark Solms hath returned! Scurry over to Satow Room at noon to nosh on free bagels and drinks while Dr. Solms presents a case of Korsakoff’s syndrome, also known as confabulatory amnesia. Bwog doesn’t really know what either of these […]
Inspired by events in Egypt and Tunisia, one blogger is trying to incite a “Jasmine Revolution” in China, while based in his girlfriend’s Morningside Heights(!) apartment. Revolutions—you can start them from your home computer! (NYT) The two teenagers involved in the brutal beating of a Chinese food delivery man in a Morningside Heights apartment building have […]
