If orientation is just a little too lame for you (BLAZE... seriously?), check out these cultural events happening around the city. How would you like to remember your first week of Columbia? Pie eating or museums and films?

9/1 — 3 pm — P.S. 1 Warm Up
Twisted Ones hosts a Brooklyn/Pittsburgh Underground Rock Celebration with:
Oneida
Sightings
Ex-Models
Dirty Faces
DJ Knox Overstreet
DJ Weirds
DJs Fitz and Brad Truax
Mighty Robot AV Squad

Word of advice to the skinny-jean inclined, Columbia hates hipsters, find kindred spirits here.

9/10 - MoMa

Richard Serra

Metal has never looked so good.

9/16 — Whitney

Summer of Love

This exhibit is a little overdone, unless you're stoned.
