It's 10:55 p.m. There are, as I speak, four guys from Psi U performing an a capella rendition of "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" in Butler Room 209, as a bunch of brothers sit around and watch. OK, they just left.
It's the last day of T/TH classes: Send us your professors' closing remarks
The time is nigh for CCSC Gossip
Apparently, much went down on campus during break. Disconnected from e-mail while we tanned with Grandma Bwoggette down in Florida, we only just came upon this missive from Chris Beam:

Once upon a time, Columbians dared to dream. Musicals in Butler Library. Silent dance parties on South Field. Pornography clubs at Acivities Day. Those dreamers constituted Prangstgrüp.
And it pains Bwog to learn that few Columbians today are aware of the sauciest avant garde prankster group to ever mock Columbia. True, most of Prangstgrüp's members graduated in 2003, but still---do we have no institutional memory of really important shit? Thank goodness they've kept www.prangstgrup.com up and running---with videos of their clever campus antics. Stop studying for midterms. Now. Watch these videos. Now. And if you want the back story, check out this ancient article by a Bwogger before he was a Bwogger.
In the words of one of Prangstgrüp's founders, "It was like, art, dude."

At about 12:45, all 70+ students lunching in a packed Cafe 212 were treated to a soaring gospel rendition over the loudspeakers of "Jesus Loves the Little Children," a favorite with Sunday Schools the world over. Basically, the only words are a repeated loop of "yes, Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so."
Probably not the same Muzak they play in Cafe Nana.

Current Columbia homepage headlines:
This just in: Falling Brings You Closer to Ground.
Also, a quote from the music article:
"The suicide rate in New Orleans appears to be rising long after the floodwaters receded, according to several speakers. They described the effects on elderly people of being cut off from their communities, perhaps forever...
But for all the tales of devastation, conference participants took time out for music, including rousing jam sessions."

Movie filming at Columbia! No, the Olsen twins aren't making their glorious return—yet—but Columbia may catch glimpses this Wednesday of Robin Williams, that Felicity girl, hottie Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and that cute kid from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory filming August Rush.
The movie poses that most important of questions: if you were separated from your parents at birth, what would you do to get them back? Sing and dance, of course, silly goose! According to killermovies.com, the film follows August Rush, a young musical prodigy performing on the streets of New York trying to find his long-lost parents. Yes, it is a musical/fantasy/romance. And no we don't make this stuff up.
The Mayor's Office of Film and Broadcasting has closed 114th Street for all of this Wednesday.
Thanks to Arnold Park for the tip.
