Happy Thursday, kids. Yes, that means that another issue of Street has hit the stands. And oh, what an issue it is. We interrogate student DJs, check out the sicknasty faculty art show and even play a little four square. As usual, your faves (the Roundup, Ego of the Week, Defibrillator) are still there, but we also have a full review of Sprinkles, a Broadway movie guide and more.
We caught this tricked out ride cruising around campus yesterday. What were they saying through those megaphones? Was it, as we hope, some type of KaraokeMobile and IF SO, how can we schedule a ride around town/performance of "Don't Speak"? We're curious. Help us out, guys. (Photo by Thomas Jansen)
This week we had one mission and one mission only: to track down this hot pink dog that everyone has been talking about. Mission accomplished. We have but one question: is this considered animal abuse?
Where do you need to be tonight at 6:30? Why, the Street/UTB writers' meeting, of course! We'll be hanging out, talking about your fave campus rag (and blog!) and giving out assignments at our office at 4015 Walnut. So come. Because you 'll be sorry if you don't.

That's right. We're back. And better than ever. Or so we like to think. This week we tell you all about your freshman hall, dish out Freshman Superlatives and pass some toga judgements. The Roundup will clue you in the past weeks' excesses, while the music team will keep you in sonic bliss for months. Plus we give you the lowdown on the Cantina at Distrito, The Informant! and Art After 5.
It is embarrassing to say what we are about to say because right now we have this image of just ALWAYS blogging and ALWAYS finding out what's poppin' on campus and ALWAYS working working working but here we go. We are looking for things to read. RIP Reading Rainbow, you know? We don't know where to turn or who should tell us what we should read. We are lost.
We're not sure if you know this, but UTB is a part of the illustrious Daily Pennsylvanian news organization. We're 34th Street's blog, and Street is the DP's magazine. So, there you go.
Listen, we know this blog is pretty neat, but that doesn't mean it's easy. It is tough blogging about every piece of news in the world every minute of every day. We get really tired.
Attention music enthusiasts: UTB is giving away one pair of tickets to Monday's Jack Peñate concert at Johnny Brenda's. The British singer-songwriter is garnering quite a bit of buzz across the pond, so you'll definitely want to check out the first stop on his North American tour.
The Kelly Writers House recently announced its author lineup for Fellows this Spring. In case you've been holed up in Huntsman for so long that this doesn't mean anything to you, KWH Fellows, one of the coolest things Penn has to offer, brings three authors to campus each Spring to participate in a course, readings, and discussions with the Penn community. Past fellows have included Joan Didion (The Year of Magical Thinking), David Sedaris (Me Talk Pretty One Day, When You Are Engulfed In Flames), Art Spiegelman (Pulitzer Prize winning comic book, Maus), and more.
Sorry, ladies. We had to remove this little gem, but we promise naked frat guys are a dime a dozen. And remember: be naked, be filmed, beware.
Dearest frosh (and others),
This morning we woke up to an invitation. Sadly, it was not an invite to a boozy awesomefest or to the VIP opening of Recess. No, it was an invitation to a Facebook group. For Seniors for the Penn Fund. This means one thing, seniors: give now or be pestered until graduation. Maybe you'll even get your own YouTube thank you note!
Dear Penn InTouch,
The DP reports:
The Daily Pennsylvanian reports that police are investigating gun shots fired around 2 a.m. near 40th and Walnut. A spokeswoman for Penn's Division of Public Safety said Philadelphia police have now identified a suspect via closed circuit television and are holding the suspect in custody.

Go wild.
