Procrastination Destination Du Jour: Translation Party

If you’ve ever tried to write something for a language class and didn’t know about WordReference, or jokingly began a facebook chat conversation with someone in another language only for things to start flying above your head, or wanted to understand the critical 45-second exposition in that one hour German porn flick you ju–well, you get the point. You’ve probably used Google to translate something at one point in time, and you’ve probably at least heard of someone trying to do the same, only to have a sneaking suspicion that whatever it spit out wasn’t quite right. If you’re really clever/bored, you’ve probably even tried to translate it back. But did you ever try to find an equilibrium?

That’s where Translation Party comes in. How’s that? I’ll tell ya how’s that, that’s how.

EVENT
Ze Who Must Not Be Named Day (ft. DAN DEACON, Anamanaguchi, and more)

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, not only is (omg) the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity reaching into their substantial funds to sponsor this year’s April music and arts festival in WestCo’s courtyard, but (omg) DAN DEACON is headlining the show.

Also on hand will be Anamanaguchi, awesome in their own right – making “loud, fast music with a hacked NES from 1985” – and a slew of Wesbands.

Come witness some sick music, DKE’s continuing (and thus far successful) efforts to rebrand, and what looks like it might in fact be the biggest and best Ze Who Must Not Be Named Day in recent memory:

Dan Deacon! Anamanaguchi! Movement! Gentlemen’s Bet! Apache Kid! Linus! Ishmael! Cous Cous! Sweaty Boys!

Rah! Rah! Rain or Shine!  It will be a day of tyedye, chalking, art, music, and revalations! Sun! Sun! Sun! (pray for sun!)

Don’t forget to tell the Pre-Frosh… Are you ready? YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

Sponsored by Westco and DKE with educational materials and lectures sponsored by the Adelphic Education Fund and additional support by Radical Performance Machine
