see yall in june (via alumni weekend)

Hawktoberfest Weekend

Hawktoberfest/Family Weekend is only a month away!  And I think they have a new logo for the event that combines the two 'events' well~

Very nice logo!  Simple and effective.  What happened to 'HAWKTOBER' though???  That is what it was called in 2009 and 2010...guess they changed it last year???  Hawktoberfest has a kinda 'Oktoberfest' font going on, whereas Family Weekend is more straight laced.  Which makes sense via one event is focused on drinking and watching soccer, whereas the other is focused on family events.

Speaking of which, I wonder what will the 'Hospitality Tent' be like this year???

Can u spot me ???

This is one of the best aspects of Hawktoberfest via it involves hanging out with yer fellow alumni/students/faculty [one year my Dad spent half an hour talking to my academic adviser and I found it kinda uncomfortable but also really funny and great.  One of those "St. Mary's" moments that you hear so much about, via a small school] and drinking a few beers.  In past years I believe the beer was free, and then the next year you had to buy a cup for the beer, and then the year after that you got a single free beer.  But looking at the verbiage for this year's event it would appear that all the beer will just be sold, via it says

 Faculty members will be serving as bartenders!  Food and beverages available for sale.

 Kinda unfortunate but also kinda w/e via I have a job so I don't really care as much.  Also for the registration of the event there is usually a section at the end where you can choose to donate some money BUT THIS WAS MISSING.  Maybe my memory is just incorrect and they never tried to ask for donations during Hawktoberfest registartion (but I kinda doubt that).  Could this be due to the Rich Edgar firing a few months ago, which caused many alumni to say that they would no longer donate?

Maybe the plan is to not push the issue of donations until alumni actually arrive and have had a few beers.  Most people are probably going to forget about the whole Rich Edgar thing by then, and actually being at St. Mary's will remind them of how great/cool/chill/etc. it is.  So IDK just a 'tinfoil hat' theory of mine~

Dude in the C-A-P-S CAPS CAPS CAPS hoodie talked to my 4ever~

Also this lecture by Cohen looks really great.  It combines his love of sports history with his love of politics

• "The Manly Sport of American Politics: How Our Entertainment Created Our Elections." Ken Cohen, History.  Goodpaster Hall 117

This mini-class will explore the relationship between sports and electoral politics in American History. From calling elections "races" to considering the "dark horse" to "punting" on an issue, Americans have come to talk about politics as if it was a sport. What does this mean, and why does it matter? You'll walk away from this course with a unique perspective on American politics, just in time for the 2012 elections.

So IDK maybe I will see yall at that lecture???  It's before the hospitality tent which is good planning.

Create a Mural!

Do yall like flyers?  I found one in my inbox with the promise of 'beer and couch space' if I posted it here. 

TBH I usually don't like flyers, via they do not actually 'fly'.  But this one is pretty chill.  I always wanted to help make a mural at SMCM (via I like that PG mural a lot) so this is our chance to do so!

Seems like as long as you have a cool idea about St. Mary's then you will be able to add it to the mural.  Take this opportunity to leave your mark on the campus!

LQ Eatery

Have yall been to the Lewis Quad Eatery/Pub.  They serve food there!  And sometimes alcohol!  My friends and I were worried about the prices of alcohol, but it's not that bad

• Corona (kinda ew) 1.75
• Heineken (I like this beer because Ken is in the name) 2.50
• Various Sam Adams's 3.00
• Wine 3.00 (Note that a cup of wine is a small cup.  Also apparently the 'glass of wine a day' rule does not apply to pint glasses, but rather only wine glasses')

All the stuff comes from bottles (woo) but they pour it into cups (lame).  There is also food

• Nachos 3.00 and they are delicious
• Nachos with meat 4.50 if you are into that
• Burrito 6.00 these were okay but I'd rather get more nachos

WHAT SHOULD IT BE NAMED?!?!

Last week they had a survey.  I liked 8th Wonder and The Pub.  Someone last week made a fake edit to the SMCM wikipedia regarding the pub and called it The Sloppy Oyster which made my roommates and myself laugh a lot.

Anyway every thursday (including today) there will be alcohol.  Hopefully professors will show up to discuss academic topics/buy us boooze.  

Not much else to say, except that they really need to dim those lights.  Also there is free popcorn.

MOLD PANIC

Lot of yall (especially on the Greens) have probably heard about the mold epidemic.  Mold be sporing everybody up in here (via that bedroom intruder autotune youtube sensation).  Mold invaded Boone 4 and forced them all to move out (dunno where to, maybe they are living under a bridge like a troll, or hopefully just crashing on a friend's couch) and maintenance/other dudes have been working on it nonstop for days.

These townhouses were constructed in 1992 as I recall, kinda lame that they are succumbing to MOLD.  Low bid contracting FTW.

Also just heard that Maggie 8/7 (the one on top) with Ally Moore has mold.  Probably some other places have mold.  Was anyone else freaked out by that lady wearing the mask coming into everyone's home like....should I also be wearing a mask (via protection)???

Hope I don't have to move out, it is getting cold and I would not have much time to construct a log cabin/hobbit hole in North Woods.

Some of the mold appears to have been caused by shoddy HVAC construction practices, but I don't know much about HVAC to be honest, just kinda looked like that via pipes that did not reach holes, but rather leaked onto the floor of the HVAC closet.

Will mold turn us into zombies?  Kinda hope not, enjoy eating burritos and not people.

Guess mold isn't all bad though, via making beer and cheese, two glorious inventions.

PANIC.
