...typical Thursday night dinner at Annenberg, a quiet night to end the week, complete with mediocre food and...upperclassmen crashers? Oh wait, it's just Eleganza, yet another student group shamelessly infiltrating the sacred space in order to promote an upcoming event. But what was likely intended to be a groundbreaking-ly exciting antic fell flat in front of the disinterested freshmen. After waiting 11 minutes past their intended go-time of 6 PM in anticipation of more viewers, the Eleganzans lost their surprise factor and were hardly a sensational sweep.

Welcome...
...encourage greater acceptance in the community. Still, Blazes added, “Surprised reactions surprised me.” Blazes, confidently straddling the line between male and female, opened the set with an original presentation before handing the stage over to student performances. The enraptured crowd, meanwhile, maintained its quiet during most of the night’s acts, often breaking into nervous laughter when one the audience was pulled into the fray. Queens “Miss Patience” (James P. Alexander ’10) and “Mariza” solicited the rowdiest laughter with...
