...Adams House Formal. We’re close friends now, and the experience meant a lot to us, if not to the modest, probably trashed crowd in the dining hall that inexplicably preferred our take on “swing” (mostly later Miles Davis) to the DJ upstairs. For most of us, it was probably our last chance to play the working musician; we were closing our instrument cases on a decade’s worth of practice. We packed up the drums, loaded the dollies, and prepared to move on with our lives...
...issue will only hurt the UC’s credibility and detract from more pressing issues such as responding to the budget cuts.Yet there are always lessons to be learned from mistakes. Students were pleased with the CEB’s choice for Pep Rally artist this year, popular DJ Girl Talk, but a combination of poor planning, a dangerously flimsy stage, and an unusually high student turnout prompted HUPD to prematurely cancel the concert. Fortunately, the CEB was able to redeem itself for its botched execution of the Girl Talk event by putting on an impressive Yardfest concert this...

Those looking for the typical Harvard dance experience—i.e., sweaty writhing in a dark room with DJ Straus—found what they wanted in the Lev Old Library. Across the hall in the JCR, formal-goers enjoyed a tasty chocolate fountain while random revelers, presumably aided by the free-flowing open bar (FlyBy and friends had no problem doubling up on drinks), struck up tunes on the piano...

...music started out well mixed, but later it seemed as if the formal had fallen into a time warp to the 80s. After the DJ played Metallica, Bon Jovi, Aint No Mountain High Enough, Michael Jackson, Def Leppard, Jessie’s Girl and Bon Jovi again, FlyBy just wanted to go home. And speaking of getting home, while the yellow school bus shuttle service meant not having to pay for a cab, it was a yellow school bus. Yeah. Flashbacks to middle school included...
