Good afternoon! My, it is raining quite consistently today. So, we're inviting all amateur photographers, no matter just how amateur, to take some photos of the weather and its effects. Send us pictures of puddles, colorful umbrellas, children in galoshes (especially children in galoshes), etc. and we'll add them to this post.

Tonight, the CQA, Columbia's Queer Alliance, celebrates LGBT rights and fights for everyone's right to party with the First Friday Dance. On Saturday.

Nothing sets the atmosphere for a dance party better than torrential rain, right? How lucky we are to celebrate the First Friday Dance of the semester on this diluvial Saturday! If you're not a fan of going out in hurricane weather and are considering taking a rain check on "the hottest dance on the Upper Westside," according to the CQA, live va Queer Prom last spring to see all the Kate Perry pumped fun you'll be missing.

More love in the club after the jump.

Many of us think of Columbia as a nurturing mother, sheltering us from the vissicitudes of adult life. One Columbia senior expected her to protect us from the rain as well...and took PrezBo to task for failing in this final act of devotion. Her e-mail follows, with the administration's response after the jump.

Dear President Bollinger,

I am a CC '05 graduate (whose Class Day was graced with beautiful
weather). I was appalled to hear that Columbia College, faced with bad
weather for the Class Day ceremony yesterday, was unable to come up with a
contingency plan to accommodate 1,100 undergraduates and instead allowed
them and their families to sit in driving rain for more than two hours.
