Senior Gala/College Prom Omnibus Guide!

Senior Gala (AKA College Prom) is coming up soon! A magical night of dancing and drinking with your fellow students and professors. It's a pretty pricey event though, so here is a guide to sneaking in, as I did circa 2010:

How to sneak into Gala

• Don't arrive early, and make sure it is dark outside! That way when people with flashlights try to follow and apprehend you, it will be more difficult and you can escape
• Don't try to go through the main entrance. walk around the whole perimeter until you find a quiet area to sneak into
• Act confident
• If you are worried that the people behind you with flashlights are trying to kick you out, just keep walking and blend in with the crowd
• Dress fancy
• Pregame to the extent that you are comfortable with sneaking into a $70 event, but no so much that you will be stumbling around

Just when is Gala? The date and location has changed over the years, let's look at a quick recap

• 2010 - At the Brome Howard Inn, starting around 8PM?
• 2011 -  At the Brome Howard Inn, starting around 8PM going until 12AM (idk I bought a lot of those lil' drink tickets)
• 2012 - The location changes to Maggie O'Brien's house, time remains the same. Location probably changed because Brome Howard Inn employees didn't feel like cleaning up until 4AM. Nearby residents complained about a large bacchanalia occurring on a Thursday night, so this location was not used again
• 2013 - Back to the Brome Howard, but now it starts earlier? 7-11 so that there is more clean up time.

IDK how accurate that is, but for staff and professors the Gala goes until the next morning apparently #typos

What to do at Gala

• Get a plate full of shrimp, walk over to a log overlooking the river, and proceed to spend half an hour eating shrimp by yourself
• Dance with Bob Paul
• Take a limo there
• Confess your affections to First Year crushes
• Dance
• Drink
• Cry over the fact that you graduate in 36 hours

Enjoy seniors!!!

PANIC: Giant Hulk Monster Terrorizing Campus Trash Cans

Yall may remember the giant Hulk Monster that was terrorizing campus a few weeks ago via destroying trees.  It would appear that this creature is terrorizing campus once again, and this time it is targeting TRASH RECEPTACLES.

Who could possibly knock over a trashcan other than some sort of super strong Hulk monster, possibly one created by the Biology Department.  Is this another diabolical creation by Bob Paul???  Did Dr. Urgo his it with his moped via hitting stuff?

An anonymous tipster said that it may have been the result of 'parkour' which I can only imagine is some sort of sinister Hulk monster activity. 

SMCM LOL BLOG will continue reporting on these disturbing disturbances on campus until the Hulk Monster is caught.  Hopefully the newly commissioned Public Safety officers and Dave Zylakbro are on the case to capture this monster (which was probably created by Bob Paul or the philosophy department).

Darwin Days

Darwin Days is this week.  Can we really trust evolution though?  (yes duhhhh).  But the most important part of Darwin Days is Bob Paul's Evolution of Candy presentation.

First of all, lets just start with the fact that Bob Paul is a wonderful human being.  He has a great voice and I really enjoy his hair.  But his Evolution of Candy lecture is really funny and also pretty informative (kinda).  I don't really know how to describe it, but if you aren't busy at 6 you should go (I think it's in Cole Cinema???).

EDIT:  Apparently it's in SH106.
