Considering how often we post about beer, we practically predicted the fact that Esquire would list Philly as one of the seven Best Beer Cities in America for 2011. Sometimes referred to as "Drunkadelphia" (oh wait, that was us too), Philly has been known to put back a few in celebration, anticipation, or at brunch, but now we've also proven our chops in the classier side of boozing.
Love Week continues with more tales from the heartland as we talk to real, honest-to-goodness college couples who will help you remember just how single you are! Up next are Seniors Kim E. and Gareth G., who give us the real nitty-gritty on relationships, hairstyles and their deep appreciation for schnitzel. This is what love is all about, folks.
The release of the Verizon iPhone today is hugely exciting for all ye Apple fans, but UTB is even more excited about The Onion's spoof of it. At the 26 second mark of their "iHand" video, you will find the smiling face of Mask and Wig dreamboat and local celeb Jonah Meyerson, who discusses the merits of chopping off his hand in anticipation of the new Apple product. We give Jonah and his acting chops two real-hand thumbs up.
Attention Kabob lovers: it's time to wield the power of social media to win yourself a free lunch. King Kabob lunch truck (38th & Spruce) is holding a promotional campaign in the Kabob Kingdom (ahem, its Facebook page) tomorrow, and 10 lucky subjects will be crowned winners.
One thing we love more than anything else is when stuff gets delivered to us. Especially when it's food. So, naturally we're super excited about Kitchen, West Philly's newest way to get home-cooked meals delivered right to your door (or for pick-up, but come on).
February begins tomorrow, and so Feb Club does too. If you are a Senior and you want in, go pick up your Feb Club card before 3pm today or between 11am-3pm tomorrow, outside the Office of Student Affairs (200 Houston Hall). You'll have to prove your Senior status, so don't forget your Penn Card. Also, look forward to a breakdown of Feb Club and all its events this Thursday in Street!
Being a second semester Senior rules, right? Applying for jobs and grad schools are a real ball, not to mention the fun of finding vague ways to answer your parents' friends' creative questions about next year.
Another Penn band has come out of the woodwork to share their musical stylings with us in a very free way. They go by Wild Vibes, and two of them were founders of Tripping Franklins, Penn's music blog. Keeping it close to home, they released their debut on the Penn-run label Deerhaus (shared by Golden Ages), and lately they've been picking up all sorts of indie cred in the blogosphere.
Last weekend at Weiss Tech House, the nerds from Dining Philosophers (Penn's computer science club) showed us that computer programming can be COOL. With nothing but their brains (plus gadgets and gizmos aplenty), aspiring programmers spent the weekend competing in PennApps Mobile 2011, creating mobile apps relevant to Penn students. The winners walked away with some neat cash prizes, and today, after a week-long voting period, MeepMe has been selected for the Student Choice Award!
$1 Wawa Coffee All Month – Need more caffeine to kick start the semester? For the rest of January, you can get any size, any flavor of coffee Wawa has to offer for just a buck! We recommend getting large.
Donald Trump has finally decided to pull out the big guns and run for president. According to The Daily Beast, the camera-happy Wharton grad has toyed with the idea of running in the past, but this time he really means business (see: finger-pointing picture).
George William Crump (1786-1848) was once a prominent political figure, as a member of Congress and the U.S. Ambassador to Chile, but this Penn alum definitely made his most important contribution to U.S. history sans the burden of his three-piece suit. Or any clothes at all. Get it? Because he was naked. Yep, in 1804, good old Crumpy became the world's first recorded streaker.
Finally! Two of our favorite topics to post about (drinking and rankings) have come together with a New Year's bang in The Daily Beast's list of the 40 Drunkest Cities in the US, and Philly is number 20!
Penn Moved Up To #5 In Sporcle College Rankings – This means that Sporcle was a significant part of many people's study routines last week. We get it, though. Being able to name all the countries of the world AND all the Billboard hits of the '80s is totally going to come in handy one of these days.
We hope not, because we're about to have a lunar eclipse on the Winter Solstice! Take a deep breath, nerds. According to the scientific authorities on Gawker, this is the first time these two moon-tacular events have coincided since 1638. To celebrate, we suggest dressing up in period costume and dancing through the streets singing "Total Eclipse of the Heart."
[Disclaimer: This article was part of our "Joke Day" series... if you couldn't tell by the usage of Comic Sans.] Students in Geology-100 are having a harder time filling the Physical World requirement than they expected, thanks to a noisy eater somewhere in the back of the room. Those close enough to her seat have identified the culprit as College junior Becky Kullman, who apparently runs the gambit from smacking her gum to crunching on Doritos to even slurping on a bowl of Gia Pronto soup. The overall tone of the class is disgruntled, to say the least, and most students blame their failing grades on an inability to concentrate.
BREAKING NEWS: It Snowed A Little – Those of you with really good eyesight who happened to be in the right place at the right time may have noticed the four or five snowflakes that fell from the sky earlier today. And for even more excitement, the forecast says that "on and off snow flurries are possible" as we move into the evening hours! Winter is totally here, you guys.
We know, it's a mouthful (both to say and to eat). And yes, sitting down to eat at Baby Blues BBQ might take a little longer than a quick stop at a food truck. But when it comes to sandwiches, these people know what they're doing. This chicken sammie is reasonably priced, plus it comes with a nice juicy pickle and a side of fries, which you should obviously substitute for sweet potato fries (because: duh). The real kicker is that they give you about five different kinds of barbecue sauces to experiment with, which leads to both an explosion of flavor and a totally legit excuse to play with your food.
She's the next Miss United States? In case finals have prevented you from following national pageant news (get your shit together, people), you may have missed this big thing: the new Miss Pennsylvania is a Penn alum!
GIRL SCOUT COOKIE SEASON! Yep, those green-vested little bundles of friendship were spotted at a table on Locust Walk today, learning about responsibility and selling their wares right by the compass. So get your Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Samoas, and Do-Si-Dos while they're still in stock! Girls, we really hope you're earning your College Munchies badge for this.
