Oh man, Janelle Monae and Eli Reed in four days. You should probably go to Case Center tomorrow and buy yourself a ticket or else you’re going to spend Friday night standing in line looking like a dumb person with no foresight or ability to plan ahead. it’s only five bucks.

Last year when Grizzly Bear came I got really excited because ya know, Grizzly Bear is pretty cool. And I was all excited even though everyone was giving the show serious negative vibes and saying stuff about how you can’t even pronounce their album title and how the “the big gym is a terrible venue for Grizzly Bear” and how SEC should have brought, like, Jason Mraz or something. But I was so excited that I signed up with SEC to work the show and volunteered to do Load In during the day, and then to stay after the show and do Load Out because SEC does tons of great shit for this campus and here they were bringing Grizzly Bear and only charging 5 bucks, so I might as well help them out and carry some boxes full of microphones or whatever, plus I’d done Load Out the semester before and I knew you got free pizza which is legit. So I show up to do load in and I’m kind of hanging out and carrying boxes and helping to set up the lights or whatever and things are moving pretty quickly and then Grizzly Bear shows up and they want to do a sound check so they’re hanging out setting up their stage equipment and explaining what everything is to anyone who asks. They were being really nice but kept eating the SEC’s bagels, I love Two Weeks as much as the next guy but that part kinda bothered me. And then someone pulls out a basketball and I ended up playing Ed Droste and that other guitarist with the blonde hair in like 3 games of Horse and Ed Droste fucking slaughters me every single time which is pretty embarrassing because he can also sing and play guitar and stuff and while we are playing every single person in the gym is crushing on him hardcore because he is really famous but also really really cool and smart and I guess pretty handsome and I think I read somewhere that before Grizzly Bear he was trying to become a restaurant reviewer which is a job they only give out to awesome people and you get this feeling that he isn’t even trying. Plus, I’m pretty tall so people always assume I’m good at basketball so I think everyone watching probably expected me to win and then Ed Droste just totally knocks me on my ass.   Anyway, this past semester while I was studying abroad in Copenhagen a girl I met there told me she liked Grizzly Bear and I told her that story and I’m 90% percent positive she made out with me because of it.

Basically what I’m saying is you should sign up with SEC to work the show this Friday because you’ll have a great time and maybe meet the band and definitely meet some cool people and get a free dinner and free admission to the show and maybe, just maybe, a sloppy kiss from some rando Scandinavian.

For more information about working the show come to SEC’s weekly meeting this Tuesday at 9pm in Ladd 106.
