Live music at Earth House on Thursday night: spend the last night on campus before spring break with the peerless Chris White ’06, a.k.a. Isto, along with Wesleyan friends Stephanie Nilles, and Captain Coconut, who have funked Wesleyan up before and will again.

Date: Thursday, March 5
Time: 9 pm -1 am
Place: Earth House

But now you can find him on Youtube and his personal website http://lumberjackisto.com.
