Images of Fling

As the last dying strains of "The Red and Blue" echoed across Lower Quad and bold members of Mask and Wig stood smiling, clad in hardly anything, a flood of joyful students went forth to continue the bacchanal elsewhere. Left behind were overflowing trash cans, mounds of plastic cups and the occasional napping reveler.

Thankfully, the sun stuck around all weekend, and students swarmed the Quad to play Twister, stick themselves with Velcro to a giant inflatable wall and watch dozens of talented campus performers. When the party ended in the Quad, there were more concerts, a carnival and other celebrations across Penn. These images are only a sampling of the many memories Fling weekend left with all of us. Now that it's Monday, the memories are all we'll have -- at least until next year, that is.
