The innovative minds at Innoblue are hosting their first ever Penn State Innovation Expo this Friday from 12-3 p.m. in the HUB Alumni Hall. Those responsibly attending will find a showcase of progressive start-up ventures seeking to publicize their ideas while recruiting potential collaborators and investors. Here is the full schedule of events.
A benefit concert to address over 25 years of war and strife in Uganda will be held by 6 student-musicians at Rotelli's on Tuesday at 8:00 pm. With the help of Invisible Children, the artists will bust out their talents for "the most neglected humanitarian emergency in the world today."
Performers include Public Domain, Chewi, A Day Without Love, Maura Westerlund and Chris Good, Ryan and the Foxes, and Michelle Smyly.
The theme of this Friday's Earth Day may be "The Power of One" but that doesn't mean there will be lack of activities to get into the go-green spirit. There are a broad range of speakers, musicians and freebies that all of you earth lovers need to check out. Onward State has compiled a complete schedule of events for your Earth Day in Happy Valley.

With the rumbling sound of the subway and the smell of dirty-water hot dogs filling the air, it was clear the Onward State crew wasn't in State College anymore. In fact we were over 200 miles away in the city that never sleeps, New York, for NYULocal's Young Media Weekend. The event was a focused discussion lead by 8 bloggers/panelists about new media and its effect on the changing world of journalism.
It's that time of the week again where you put the Nickleback on pause. This week's Friday Alternatives map the progression of established names in the rock circuit from the noise we've come to know and love to a new mature style. For some, the changes are striking. Bands have completely reinvented themselves as artists, seeking a change from the monotony of topping charts. While others have reverted back to a more comfortable style that they saw slipping away during their growing process.
Astronaut and Spacey put the past and the future side by side for a Shutter Island type battle royal. Retro or mod? That is the question. Will you always love the jams that made a band famous or can you respect their maturity? Let's get it on. *Ding, Ding*
