American Apparel got you down? Urban not doing it for you anymore?
SPEC finally announced the final two artists for this year's Fling concert: LA-based rapper Snoop Dogg will be headlining, and fellow Californian rapper Shwayze will open for Kid Cudi.
Dr. Dog, a West Philly-based folk/rock/"The Beatles ... if they had started recording again in the new millennium" band that everyone seems to have "heard once, maybe", is headlining tonight's SPEC Jazz and Grooves show at the Rotunda. War on Drugs guitarist and Philadelphia local Kurt Vile is opening the 7:30 p.m. show.
We've just received word that Seth Meyers, current head writer of Saturday Night Live, will be this year's spring SPEC Connaissance Speaker. According to a SPEC press release, Seth "will discuss his experiences as an actor and comedian" March 18th at 8 p.m., in Irvine Auditorium.

The folks at the Auntie Anne's Pretzel outpost by CVS on Walnut are in a really good mood today. A really good, free regular or cinnamon sugar pretzel day kind of mood! When tipster Paige Rubin inquired as to the occasion, a worker replied, "Oh, just to celebrate! We want everyone to try a fresh, hot Auntie Anne's pretzel!"

Yeah, it's a tad long, but the footage of Hub Bub's Drew Crockett, excessive Street and UTB shoutouts and the amazingness that is the Vagina Monologues make it well worth the seven minutes you'd normally spend on Facebook.
Missing a glove or two? Maybe they're stuck in a tree on 40th.

The long-awaited redesign of PennPortal launched this morning, just in time to savor this last Penn-less day before classes start.
The Penn community loves listservs. We also love abusing listservs. But for once, clogged inboxes and smartphones on constant vibrate aren't the fault of Claire Klieger and Al Filreis. Recently, it seems many, if not all, emails sent from BlackBerrys to GoogleGroup listservs are followed up by a "Your message was delivered to the recipient" blast to the entire group. Annoying.
We are the champions! The football team brought home a 17-7 win over Harvard on Saturday, which guarantees Penn at least a share of the Ivy League Championship. Perhaps more importantly, the team (and Penn football's six-year championship dry spell) was profiled by the New York Times on Friday. The story delves into the emotional hurdles the team has faced since Al Bagnoli took over as coach (grab some Kleenex), but it seems to us that - as of Saturday - the football boys are nothing but cigars and smiles.
This new advertising campaign is really challenging the idea that Cream & Sugar is sketchy. It's a proven fact that nothing attracts customers like the promise of an encounter with a carnivorous reptile!
