Dear Lucy: Lovesick and Moorebid Ball

Thursday, October 27th, 2011
DEAR LUCY,
Last weekend I went to a party at my biggest crush’s house. I drank more than I probably should have and I also smoked marijuana—a combination I usually try to avoid for reasons that will become clear. Anyway, I was sitting in a room with a group of friends and all of a sudden I caught the spins and enter the house of nausea. I “casually” exited the room and ran to the bathroom but it was in use. So, I ran up to the attic and puked up my dinner of spaghetti and tomato sauce all over the floor. Almost immediately after I had emptied my stomach through my mouth/nose, my crush just so happened to come up to the attic (with a girl!). I panicked and ran downstairs and out the door without saying anything. I feel really bad about not cleaning up my mess, but I’m also incredibly embarrassed. What should I do?? Is it better to take responsibility for my actions and apologize? Or should I just ignore the incident and pretend it never happened?
Yours truly,
Lovesick In The Attic

DEAR LITA
OOF! We genuinely feel bad for you. Everyone has been there and we all know that humiliating yourself in front of a crush can be devastating. We know someone who, after taking a few too many tequila shots, ended up slap-groping the upper thigh of a crush. Mind you, this was not a light, cute, giggling thigh-brush. This was an aggressive, just shy of an OTPHJ (over-the-pants-hand-job), thigh-slap and massage.

Another Opportunity To Talk About Drinking

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Four years on this campus has taught me one thing, Skidmore students love talking about drinking. Since I first stepped foot on this campus I have literally not had a single conversation that didn’t in some way reference how a.) how ‘totally fucked up’ I was at the time or b.) how ‘totally fucked up’ I was the previous Saturday night dude.

D-Hall and the Library exist exclusively as spaces for students to talk about how much they fucking love partying, and those classes you take are all an elaborate sham intended to help you to talk to new people about that one time you totally booted behind Bloomfield.

But still, I am unsatisfied. I thirst for more opportunities to talk about my unquenchable thirst. The only time I am not thinking about how I can be talking about drinking is when I am already talking about drinking. I want to talk about drinking more and luckily, now I can, by taking this survey.

Moorebid Hospitalizations Threaten Future Parties

Monday, November 1st, 2010

Moorebid Ball has come and gone, Ramses has packed away his cables and Case Center has been disinfected. Today I drank a lot of water, did some homework and moved on, but I have a feeling last night will remain on the lips and minds of the College’s administrators and policy makers for several more weeks. You see, nine Skidmore college students were hospitalized last night.

The hospitalizations, all obviously alcohol related, are a politically tricky subject and the College’s handling of the night’s events is precarious. I’ll keep my mouth shut for now but it will be interesting to see exactly how the rest of the year’s dances are handled. Repercussions are doubtlessly forthcoming (and most likely ineffective).

Design The Moorebid Ball Poster

Saturday, September 25th, 2010

Moorebid Ball, everyone’s favorite opportunity to wear a costume and make out, is approaching quickly and you can make 100 bucks. All you need to do is design a beautiful poster, which–no offense to art majors to whatever–probably isn’t going to require 100 dollars worth of your time. Make sure to include the essential details and like maybe a picture of a headless horseman riding a daemon stead or something halloweeny like that. maybe some ghouls. More information on thefacebook.

If you find yourself thinking, “damn, I really want to help make Moorebid Ball a better time for everyone but I don’t know how I could go about doing that” then you should go to the Moorebid Ball ideas and planning meeting in Ladd 107 Sunday at 8pm.

Trick or Treat

Terrifying

Named for the long forgotten, and recently sold, Moore Hall, tonight’s Moorebid Ball will begin promptly at 10pm. Students without costumes will be rightfully ridiculed and are encouraged not to attend. This is your best opportunity to combine esoteric pop culture, fashion and fake blood—a combination sure to impress that girl in your Art History lecture.

Students that have not yet experienced the moist debauchery of Moorebid Ball should prepare themselves accordingly. Just because you don’t have class tomorrow doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have class tonight. SGA is bringing in free photobooths so you can all document the evening and have a nice souvenir of the time you locked lips with someone in a rubber mask.

Tonight’s entertainment will be provided by lights.down.music.up and OnPoint. Requests can be texted to (518) 879-7990 as long as you don’t request Monster Mash. Case Center is decorated all spooky and shit, my costume is ready and I’m having candy for dinner. Trick or treat Skidmore College, Trick or treat.

Aural Explosion

Too Rad

Too Rad

Yo Motherfuckers, if you’re not totally popping wood about all the good music coming to campus this weekend you must be a serious wet blanket. Thursday night Lively Lucy’s brings you a free show with April Smith and the Great Picture Show and The Van Buren Boys and then Friday night is SEC and Benefaction’s biannual Benefit Concert with sets from VERBS, Silent Kids and Mutual Friends. After all that madness there is this little party called Moorebid Ball featuring LightsDownMusicUp on Saturday Night.

I just want to let everyone know now so we can collectively avoid all those what-are-you-doing-tonight text messages.

Design The Moorebid Ball Poster

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

If you think you can somehow combine the innocent spookiness of Halloween with the moist decadence of a nightclub’s private back room at its most gloriously depraved, the people behind this year’s Moorebid Ball would like your help.

SGA is offering 100 bucks to the person who designs this year’s Moorebid Ball poster. And while they concede that Moorebid pretty much sells itself (and most of the alcohol in Saratoga County) 100 dollars is the type of money that makes college students feel like Carnegie so you should all try your hardest.  Send in your designs to skidmoresga@gmail.com by October 17th to win $100 and great praise.

Trick or Treat

Friday, October 31st, 2008

According to our calculations it has been about 300 years since Halloween has fallen on a decent party day but remember, just because you don’t have class tomorrow doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have class tonight. According to the internet if we do bad things tonight the college will take away other things we enjoy like Junior Ring and Fun Day which would be a bummer. Moorebid starts at 10pm and there is a costume contest at 11 with glamorous prizes so make sure you look hella fly in your costume or that girl from phsyics is going unimpressed. All of Case Center is decorated all spooky and shit so get your costumes on and get ready. Keep it safe.

Moorebid Ball NOT CANCELED

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Just like in Mean Girls it seems rumors have run rampant around campus. Just to clear things up, in case the 5 emails you probably received didn’t do it, Moorebid Ball is not canceled.

Moooorebid is Coming…

Monday, October 27th, 2008

For those of you who haven’t already decided to go as a “college student,” or as an attractive Sarah Palin, put that “Creative Thought Matters”  mantra to the test and think of something before all Wal-Mart has left is this. Moorebid Ball is this weekend—Friday (Halloween) night to be exact—and there will be a costume contest at 11pm where the winner will receive a glorious prize. This year, all of Case is fair game. Lightsaber fights shall have temporary free reign over the entire student center, but all pod-racers and other weird big things should be kept outside.
