'Tis the season! The sad gray sludge all over the streets tells us finals are finally upon us. Check out all the events happening on campus during reading days/finals!
Così robbed this morning-- According to the DP, the Così by the Penn Bookstore was robbed at gunpoint early this morning. No one was hurt and no money was taken. DPS says the crime could be linked to the robbery of a Center City Così last week.
FREE Pottruck Classes-- Pottruck's hosting free fitness classes December 9th through 13th as part of its Stress Relief Week. Clutch. What better way to calm your finals freakout than to get your downward-facing dog on?
Ever heard of this guy? No special reason-- his hedge-fund SAC Capital just plead guilty to insider trading and is about to pay the largest settlement of its kind in history. Before he became the 35th richest man in the U.S. and a serious contender for the Whartoniest Whartonite in the history of Whartonites, though, Steve was downing Bankers and heading to Shabbat with our very own ZBT because of course he was.
So maybe The Beatles didn't exactly make this song in anticipation of our beloved Amy's eventual 64th birthday, we're dedicating it to her anyway. The Fab Four did get a couple of things wrong, though-- A-Gutt would never be caught knitting sweaters, and those golden locks are here to stay. The truth: when we're all 64, Amy will definitely be the one partying 'til a quarter to three, and her hair will still look killer.
For all those good little Penn students everywhere setting up their Google calendars for the week: we sift through all those Facebook invites so you don't have to! Speaking of annoying invitations, you're welcome.
Free Hookah-- Download The DP mobile app and show it at Aloosh Hookah Bar to snag some free hookah! Only the first ten customers this week and first ten next week get to smoke it up, so get moving.
We warned you Under the Button takes on a whole new meaning after dark. A mysterious but hilarious but also mildly terrifying tumblr has cropped up featuring pictures of blow up dolls doing their thing on assorted campus statues, including beloved Ben. A bit of Twitter stalking revealed that the blog is somehow a response to Robert Indiana's iconic LOVE statue. Arties will be artsy, we guess? More importantly, these dolls are probably getting more than you are tonight.
Happy homecoming week, babyquakes! Here are a few events to fill in those annoying empty spaces between darties.
We know you don't really give a shit about that Intro to Cooking Philosophy Social Impact Initiative Resume Workshop you keep getting invited to on Facebook. Here are some events that seem less painfully boring! (Or at least include the possibility of food).
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Yards Brewing Company and Little Baby's Ice Cream are hosting A Pynk Affair, a charity event featuring a CONCERT BY A WEEZER TRIBUTE BAND CALLED "FREEZER." There will be food and other stuff, too, but everything pretty much pales in comparison once you realize that somewhere out there exists a Weezer tribute band called Freezer.
It's official: freshman campaigners are back and no god or Amy Gutmann can save us. This is the time of year we all dread/love, when zealous freshmen take a break from being famous on the class Facebook page and trade in their books for a good name pun (Hope is pretty much name pun gold, so congrats!). It's like flyer primetime on Locust except even more hilarious. To all those in large intro classes like this photo of ECON001, we salute you.
Teen Vogue is back so look yo Wednesday best-- Plan to loiter casually at 36th and Locust around 10 this morning if you want a chance to be in Teen Vogue's Campus Street Style. If your outfit isn't quite ready by then, no problem! You can follow the photographer on Twitter and stalk her around campus until she notices you.
Made in America schedule FINALLY released: Put down those books and forget about the beginning of school stress-- Budweiser just released the set times and map for this year's Made in America Festival. Hey, only three days before the actual festival takes place!!! Thanks, Jay-Z!!! (No gratitude towards to the ever-patrolling Liquor Control Board/fun police.)
Freshman Takes a Tumble (2017 Edition)-- In approximately 28 hours, giant packs of slightly disoriented freshmen will descend (literally) upon the streets of West Philly. Now you actually have an excuse to gawk! Send us your pictures of freshly fallen freshies starting tomorrow night and we'll give you a shoutout. It's almost as good as Penn Porn.
Has the reign of the mighty Penn squirrel at last come to an end? Has a new crop of cute yet disturbingly intelligent furballs invaded campus? Not quite, but you're probably bored enough in these dwindling days of summer to look at this picture of a groundhog trying to get into the Music Building. He may be a few months late for spring, but he's just in time to ring in another NSO!
Those eagerly awaiting Queen Bey's performance at this year's Made In America Festival may find themselves wondering: who run the world? The answer is girls-- Penn girls to be exact (no matter what the Times insinuates)
UTB regrets to report a devastating loss to the Penn community. Sadly, the nightly pilgrimage to 38th and Spruce is no more for those lone Quakers still wandering around campus. Not so sadly, the newly renovated Wawa will open in about six weeks and we know what you're wondering: how is it possible for Wawa to get even better? We're thinking nacho cheese fountain.
Finals are just about over and you know what that means! Freshmen everywhere are rolling those giant cardboard carts out of the Quad (tear) and back to the suburbs. Looks like a couple of them realized that Mom and Dad wouldn't exactly appreciate finding these bottles stuck between the shower flops and Target sheets and ditched the Svedka on the Hamilton side of the Lower Quad Gate. Side note: who had the Jack? Why aren't we friends?
