As we’re sure you know, the Abacchalypse is fast approaching—just five weeks away! Next Thursday’s Bacchanal Artist Release Party at Havana Central will reveal the mystery performers for this year’s show. Faithful Bwog commenters have predicted various artists, but we’d like to stir the pot just a bit more. Unlike last year’s week of Chewbacchanal […]

Now that Spring Break is over, we all need something to look forward to. Luckily, the Abacchalypse is only 39 days away. (Even luckier: the real Apocalypse has come and gone, and we all survived.) But 39 is a big number. There’s got to be something sooner, right? Yes, there is! Bacchanal has teamed up with […]

B is for Bacchanal: The contest for the spring Abacchalpyse t-shirts has officially sprung. See the poster (at right) for more info. B is for Banks and their Blind Eyes: According to Madoff, they “had to know” what he was up to, but ignored his scheming to avoid getting involved. (NYT CityRoom) B is also […]

Zoe Camp reports from this week’s SGA meeting Representatives from Bacchanal mentioned that this year’s concert will likely use all of the allotted funds provided by both BC and CC. The headliner for Bacchanal has been picked at the desired price, but there’s no word on who it is. The details haven’t been finalized, but there […]

Huzzah! ESC, SGA, CCSC and GSC have allocated a combined total of $20,000 to the Bacchanal Committee this year. This allocations is still a one-time-deal, and future allocations to Bacchanal will depend on a separate resolution. Council members will sit on the Bacchanal selection committee (hey Learned– Weezy F. Baby!) for oversight. The one thing […]

Grant D’Avino keeps you up to date! The University Senate passed a smoking ban! As it stands, smoking will be prohibited within a 20-foot bubble around all buildings. The old, and loosely enforced, ban, as per New York state law, of 20 feet only applied to residence halls. Ashtrays or some other type of cigarette […]

Bwog found Mickey Avalon’s backstage spread rather ordinary – fruit, iced water, some Red Bull. When Zoe Camp and Peter Krawczyk showed up to interview him before last night’s show, they couldn’t detect slightest sign of illicit behavior – for all we know, it could have been Al Gore’s green room. But then out walked […]

Tickets for tonight’s Bacchanal Fall Concert are officially sold out at the TIC. You should definitely pick up your ticket early if you ordered it online to avoid TIC lines out the door later tonight. Columbia: let’s dance.

Today sucks. We just want to be back home getting drunk with our high school friends instead of in this freezing cold dark sad Reference Room writing Bwog posts. But there is fun on the horizon! Bacchanal’s Fall Concert, featuring Mickey Avalon and Night Eyes, is this Thursday! Here’s a video that Bacchanal made about […]

Bacchanal Fall Concert tickets are going on sale through the TIC (and online) on Friday at 1pm. See Mickey Avalon! And Night Eyes!  The show’s on Thursday, December 2nd and tickets cost $3.

Good news at this dreary witching hour: there’s going to be a Bacchanal Fall Concert for the first time in, like, a while, and completely insane former male prostitute Mickey Avalon will be performing! The show is on Thursday, December 2nd in Lerner and will cost $3. Half-local (hey, AK!) band Night Eyes will be […]

Allow us a personal anecdote, gentle reader. A few weeks ago, Bwog was sitting in a tire on the floor of our friend’s mom’s minivan, heading out of town for the weekend with a few friends. We spoke about Bacchanal, and suggested a few artists to our Bacchanal-affiliated-pal in the backseat: NOFX and blink-182, one friend, […]

If inflatable obstacle courses, free shotglasses, and three wild and crazy musical acts weren’t enough for you, well, you’re in luck! On today’s program: 11:30am-1:30pm Holi on the Plaza Ancel Plaza (just outside EC & SIPA) Join the Hindu Students Organization in celebrating this festival of colors. There will be 1500 pounds of colored paint for spraying […]

Free Bacchanal sunglasses, tshirts, condoms, shotglasses, keychains and whistles will be handed out on the Steps at 5:30.  (uh, your wedge of space on the Steps) while you’re there, the show starts in 40 minutes. Update, 5:45: Hustle, they’re almost out out of free miscellany! Update, 5:55: There are plainclothes Public Safety out, so best […]
