Audition for NIGHTMARE

If you want to audition, prepare a song to sing for us, preferably something close to the tone of the film’s music. We’d like that a lot.

Stouck ’15 Drops Brand Spanking New Album + Video

David Stouck ’15, otherwise known by his rap pseudonym Dae, has dropped a bilingual (English+Chinese) concept album based on the story of Jonah and the Whale. It’s called Inherited High and it’s available for download here.

Lunchbox Presents: Solomon’s Last Show

Well, this is a conflict of interest…

Many French schools still have Wednesdays off. Many are changing this. “How can I explain to my son that he can’t watch cartoons on Tuesday nights anymore,” asked one disgruntled French mother, presumably in French.

So come see some sketch comedy! It’s my last show in college!

DATE?: Tomorrow (May 7th; the date is wrong on the poster!)
TIME?: 6PM
PLACE?: Nics Lounge
