What a world we live in. One day, Life is calling our mascot creepy, and the very next, Jon Stewart is saying "Go Quakers" on The Daily Show. Twice! The second time, using an imitation straight out of Fiddler on the Roof. It's the classic American tale.
You probably think a lot about what 34th Street editors do when they aren't editing. Right now you're probably nodding your head and screaming "Yeah! Especially over a long weekend. That's so much time!"
UPDATE: The event has been moved to the Women's Center at 37th and Locust.
Tonight we were on our way to Van Pelt, feeling pretty good about starting work early and even better about the Raisinets Milk Chocolate Coated Raisin Treats we had just purchased at the Uncommon Market, but then we saw this guy!
One of our top tipsters spotted this sign in DRL and got some photo evidence. Maybe it's referring to the spider plant plantlets directly behind it, which can be picked, placed in some dirt or a glass of water, and will actually grow into a new plant! But, maybe not. Parents beware! Some mathletes have been given permission to take your babies!
Remember when Princeton totally zinged us during Homecoming? Well they were probably trying to retaliate after last year's game, when school buses full of kegs and Penn students took their campus by storm. Unfortunately for the Tigers, our debauchery seems to have had a far more lasting effect than temporarily interrupting students in the library. The Daily Princetonian reports:
Today, when we finally got around to flipping our Penn Student Agencies academic calendars to November, we noticed that last Wednesday was listed as the "First Day of Classes." Here we were, thinking the semester had started on September 9. This is great news! We're not half as behind as we thought we were, nor have we missed as many classes.
We know that most of you voted on March 28th (talk about an intense and drama-filled evening!) and weren't planning on getting out to the polls again until this Spring. However, on behalf of Penn freshman Jason Merrin, a finalist in the 2009 Nickelodeon Animation Festival, we ask you to reconsider.
Tipsters by the name of "The Girls from Harnwell 12th Floor" sent us these photos, stating, "Over the last three months there have been reoccurring appearances of a sex doll in the window of the {Mayer Hall room} that we look down at." We wonder if Tufts has any rules about this unique roommate situation.
According to the Huffington Post, Denzel Washington was at Penn State's Jordan Center last night to watch his son Malcom play in Penn's first basketball game of the year. Says the HuffPo, "Malcolm did not play and his team lost to Penn State, 70-55."
Remember last year when the Penn Art Club sold plaster squirrels to be decorated by organizations and displayed around campus? Well, the second installation of these critters hit Locust Walk today.
Ever since Advanced Registration opened we've been trying to pick courses, but there's one thing that makes it really difficult. Nowhere on Penn Course Review does it indicate how well a professor can dance! And if you're like us, you aren't about to place your education in the hands of someone who might not even be able to navigate his way through a fox trot or the Viennese Waltz with relative ease.
We caught a glimpse of these Spaniard-type folk posing on the Ben Bench and then running down Locust today. The run was pretty short (from the bench to McNeil), but the costumes were phenomenal. Anyone know what the deal was? (More pictures after the jump)
We just recieved word from Grubstreet that the beloved Buttercream Cupcake Truck will soon enter partial hibernation for the winter. Owner and self-proclaimed "Cupcake Lady," Kate writes:
Auf Wiedersehen, Springboard Media. You've been pretty great, but it looks like we're finally getting our very own Apple Store in Center City!
As you know, the SEPTA Strike is underway. This means fewer near-death experiences in the bus lane, but it also means that getting around is a huge pain in the feet, or in the wallet if you're relying on cabs. We've done some research to find SEPTA alternatives that will keep you on your merry way. Check out the list after the jump.
It's Shoutout season again. A time when friends and enemies across campus send us hilariously terrible things about each other, and Lowbrow picks the best ones to print. With your new-found mastery of the 140 character diss, it should be easy as pie to get your words heard this year. Here are some of our favorites from the past:
Our very own Inn at Penn is doing its part to welcome both Phillies and Yankees fans staying for the World Series. uwishunu.com reports on the gifts, known as "We Heart Grief Kits:"
Advanced Registration for Spring courses will begin in just a week (Nov. 9), which has us thinking about how much the schedule planning process sucks. Sure, the new Penn InTouch helped a little, but arranging classes still requires juggling between 45,230 browser windows (not to mention the tabs!) at once. Penn Course Review is among the more terrible parts of the process, but thanks to the nerds student web programmers behind a new site called Cobol on Rails, you'll never have to use it again! Check out details after the jump.
Magic Carpet's magic new credit card swipe won our food truck admiration this week. But next week, we're so moving on. According to City Paper's Meal Ticket, Coup de Taco, a new food truck, will open its doors windows on 40th between Locust and Spruce this Monday. The menu is available here and looks astoundingly delicious.
