...events were bigger disappointments. The Harvard-Yale pep rally promised to be a saving grace for an otherwise-botched Game (thanks to Boston Police Department-enforced restrictions on the tailgate) until it was cancelled due to rain. A similar fate befell the CEB’s big spring event: Yardfest. While students sheepishly admitted to being excited for an anachronistic performance by Third Eye Blind, the heavens dumped buckets on Yardfest’s attendees. The CEB should be applauded for salvaging the event, but enthusiasm (and attendance) for the event was dampened.These mixed successes reveal that investing too many...
Throughout my time here, it has every so often occurred to me how absolutely, utterly spoiled we are. Our beautiful, roomy suites have regular bathroom-cleaning service. Our exorbitant (yes, exorbitant) investments in undergraduate social life include tens of thousands of dollars put into Yardfest and the multi-million dollar project that was the pub.

Ironically, Yardfest 2006 had a rain plan?...
...everyone knows who they are, but I don’t think that anyone will hear them and not like them,” Drake added. The CEB plans to book more performers for the pub in the near future, Goldenberg said. Compared to Yardfest, a much bigger event aimed at the entire school, the concerts at the pub will be smaller events that appeal to niche groups of undergraduates, Goldenberg said. “Unlike Yardfest, the luxury is that we don’t have to try to please everybody at the College,” he said...
