I was browsing some MySpace sites (call me old school) looking for some good tunes, when I came across The Dangerous Summer. In their tour list, Movin' On is definitely listed.
They aren't headliner material, so they will be apparently opening for the festival.
Found other hints of openers or *gasp* the headliner? Post them in the comments.
The reasoning behind the vetoing of this year's spring festival's name "Last Call" is apparently due to its alcohol implications. And this year, with more and more days being made "holidays" for the purpose of drinking, the name simply can't stand. A warning has even been made to the UPUA, stating that the festival's date, which is currently set for the last day of classes, will be rescinded by the university if the name is not changed, according to a recent UPUA letter from the program's director, Mike Wallace.
Thus it was deemed necessary to veto the program's name and subsequently adopt 5 alternative names in which the student body would be eligible to vote on. This hopefully would grant more oversight into the program by the student body, while also creating as much excitement and publicity for the event as possible. Certainly, the name "Last Call" is a little ambiguous, but enough to warrant a warning to the UPUA? Not really. It's the university's increased sensitivity to any event that may involve alcohol. Special thanks to such reckless ideas as Cinco De State, as well as State Patty's recent fiasco, and Penn State's overly alcoholic nature in general, for the stick up the administrators' asses.
After the jump - more guessing as to who the headliner could be!
Gabriel Iglesias will be kicking off SPA's April Fools Comedy Month when he performs on April 1 at Eisenhower Auditorium. "Fluffy" has been entertaining audiences with his stand-up and voice impressions for years and has gained popularity through appearances on NBC's Last Comic Standing, as well as Comedy Central (he also was the voice of Mexican #5 on an episode of Family Guy).
Tickets are free with a student ID and go on sale March 22 at the HUB Information Desk, Eisenhower Auditorium, Bryce Jordan Ticket Center, and Penn State Tickets Downtown. Haven't heard of Iglesias? Check out this clip from his "Hot & Fluffy" special after the jump.
The Spring Creek Canyon area consists of 1,800 acres currently owned by the PA Department of Corrections. Everyone seems to want a piece, and negotiations have stumbled along for the past few years. Now, a final agreement has been reached.
Read on for the full details, as well as the controversy behind it.
With the start of March Madness looming tomorrow, the sports writers here at Onward State have decided to show you our brackets and give you our "expert" advice in case you're still trying to settle what teams you have going to the Final Four. And just a spoiler alert, after getting robbed of a bid to the big dance for the second year in a row, Penn State will not be one of those teams.
I try to follow college basketball all across the nation in my spare time. Going home over Winter and Spring Breaks allowed me to watch some teams that I would not normally see here on campus (Thank you, DirecTV). Even though I have always followed the regular seasons closely in years past, it has never transferred to success in picking a bracket. But, in any case, read on for a few observations I've made that might help you out.
Students, having emerged from a winter that saw many a cutely-named snowstorms, are enjoying one of the best times in Happy Valley by studying on the HUB lawn.
