Penn Kid Parties Thanks To Copa-Esque Bouncers In Hamptons

(06/13/11 4:42pm)

Yesterday's New York Post featured a piece on the Hamptons bar Nello's, which, according to 19-year-old "Eric," is very easy on IDs. Eric, who is listed in the article as a Penn student, was "throwing back $27 shots of Patron tequila" and had come because Nello's is "the perfect place if you want to meet girls who are DTF." While this sounds like typical Penn douchebaggery, mystery surrounds this alleged Quaker.


Breaking: We're On Another HuffPo List

(06/07/11 7:18pm)

Is it just us, or is the Huffington Post slowly killing the whole list thing? Our latest ranking accomplishment is one of the ten colleges with the fewest cars, or a "duh" moment filled with urban institutions and the University of Wisconsin at Madison. This would've been ten times more interesting if they just said "look, Wisco doesn't allow cars on campus!" since that was kind of the only interesting point.

Holy Shit, There Was (Another) Earthquake In Philly — NBC Philadelphia reports that a "mysterious boom" heard in northeast Philly was actually a 1.7 magnitude earthquake. A 1.9 magnitude quake hit nearby Mount Holly, NJ a few weeks ago.





Oh No, What Is This

Before, if your friends thought you'd hit it off with someone, they'd drag your ass to Smoke's and make you Meep them the old-fashioned way. But now there's a new website aimed at expediting sorta-blind dates: Blindesque. Spawned from the same brain that gave you PennEats, this is, well... kind of creepy. According to the description, you can make: a profile for your friend (feel free to not tell her/him), and you will then have access to a database of other profiles, created by friends. You will only be able to see select information about each person, but if you like what you see, click the 'connect' button next to their profile. Once they accept, you both have access to last names, a headshot picture, and, of course, a message option. Only people who have verified Penn email addresses can sign up. So go ahead and try it out. Your friend will never be contacted and doesn't even necessarily know about it... So what have you both got to lose? The site has a variety of boxes you can fill in for a friend like height, eye color and celebrity lookalike, but it won't be live until enough people sign up. Do us the favor and put some stuff on there so we can see what goes down next.
