this could be you
This Wednesday (February 8th), the Red Cross is coming to campus to take your blood. They’ll be here from 10-5 in the IM Dance Gym. Email Holley Hodgins (hhodgins@skidmore.edu) to schedule an appointment. If you do give, which you should, remember to drink a whole bunch of water beforehand.
Alright fine that was pretty eloquent imagery, I’ll give you guys THAT.
We're making no promises beyond getting down there and getting full.
The SU.com editorial staff will be out and about on Saturday in search of the best chowder and cheapest pint. We’re starting the day off strong with a Yuengling Black & Tan and Stewart’s ‘Crumbs Along the Mohawk’ float (the recipe can be found in the upcoming SU.com cookbook, “What to Do with 120 Beers and A Cabinet of Non-Perishables”). With a little luck and 3G, we’ll live-blog whatever our frozen, chowder-encrusted little fingers can type out. If we don’t, blame it on the Yuengling & Stewart breakfast of champions.
Frank's room gets so loud at night...
Frank and I live in an old house. It costs us over $200 a month the heat the thing, which is ridiculous because our rooms are still freezing, and that sucks. So to all of you kids living in dorms or in Scribner where the heat is permanently blasting and you have your windows cracked to the sub-zero weather outside, remember: it could be worse.
While yall can’t do shit about your dorm thermostats, you can control your electricity use and save the College money, and by extension save yourself some money in tuition. Here’s the blurb about this year’s new and improved Skidmore Unplugged (Frank always gets excited for ‘doin it in the dark’):
Skidmore Unplugged is an annual competition between all the Skidmore Residence Halls to see which building can reduce their energy consumption the most, but this year there is an added twist. Skidmore will be competing against four other schools – Hobart and William Smith, St. Lawrence, Colgate, and Hamilton, to determine who can reduce their total energy from all of those buildings by the largest percentage [emphasis added]. Skidmore Unplugged will be beginning on Monday the 13th (Look for our “Do It In the Dark” Theme For valentines day) and ending March 5th.
Daily updates about how each dorm building is doing and how Skidmore is doing against the other schools will be available online at this website: http://www.buildingdashboard.net/skidmore/ and in each dorm daily. Reducing energy will allow Skidmore to spend more money on things YOU want, reduce our climate footprint, and let’s face it – there’s tons of stuff you can do in the dark! Look for the sustainability-reps and peer health educators in the dining hall atrium in the weeks of the competition for updates and free goodies. Last year the winning dorm reduced energy consumption by 4%, can we beat that this year?
The burly men of Mugsy Boges have long jammed hard in Falstaff’s (yes, that is the proper spelling). Now, they’ve decided to commit their sounds to the Internets, and the end product is a homegrown, garageier At the Drive-In. I don’t know the boys personally, but I hope they like the comparison (does Omar read SU?).
Pic so nice I'm using it twice.
Yo slowbros- Comfest tickets are going to be on sale next Monday the 6th in Case Center near the Case Info Desk, from 10:00AM – 4:00PM.

I’m told in CAPS that THERE WILL BE A WAIT LIST.

Additional information about the event (including an awesome panel discussion on Women in Comedy) after the jump.
Love you, Saratogian.
I'm sure Bob Capa would approve of free pizza and film
The first general meeting of the Photography Club will take place tonight at 8pm in Bolton 282. I’m told they’ll be giving out free pizza and film, a combination to make any aspiring shutterbug wet his or her pants in glee.
Do people still use film? I thought it had gone the way of VHS and phonographs. Kudos to the Photo Club for keeping a dead medium alive.
Bolton 282 @ 8pm
Come get fat with us.
Chowderfest, the pinnacle of Saratogian winter sustenance. There may be a distinct lack of snow on the ground this year, but that will only make it easier to walk to the Parting Glass and grab a beer while checking out the live Irish music (oh yeah, their chowder is fantastic and will get you buzzed). Cups of chowder are a dollar a piece, so stack your wallet like Tom Haverford before he hits up the strip club (i.e. $1.00s)
Ancillary attractions include the beautiful canine population of Saratoga – they don’t call em thoroughbreds for nothing – and general public acknowledgement that you’ll have had your first beer before noon. Eco-friends, it is unknown whether or not you can bring your own mug and pass on the disposables, but wouldn’t that be cute?
Check out the list of participating restaurants here.
The WSPN Big Meeting for the semester is tonight in Emerson* at 8pm. This meeting is mandatory for anybody interested in having a radio show, even if you’ve had one before. Paige and Katie will say some shit and Brendan will act pissed off and you’ll be given applications to fill out. Do your best to make it.
