Picture this if you will: It is a cool and drizzly Sunday night. You have spent the better part of the day in various situations in which you end up feeling like an inept musician with the world's slowest fingers but, luckily, are able to spend the evening with friends enjoying sushi and Ketel One dirty martini for the first time in nearly two months. As the sun is setting, you stop by French Quarter to make sure that the scene does not resemble Sodom and Gommorah. Luckily it does not, seeing as how the vocalists have an off-campus gig and are nowhere in sight. So you think to yourself, "Wonderful. I have to get up early to meet a work study student so she can vacuum French Quarter before it opens, so I'll just delegate the supervision and locking up of the place to the Resident Assistant on duty and go to sleep early." You change into your pajamas, brush your teeth, wash your face, inspect your bed for any sneaky spiders snuggling under your comforter and tuck yourself in for a good night's rest. LITERALLY two minutes after you turn your lights off, your phone rings and it is the RA on duty in French Quarter. And you say to yourself, "@*#%!*."
Long story short, vocalists - especially drunken vocalists who want to celebrate after a good concert - are loud and obnoxious. But the thing is, they should be allowed to celebrate after a good concert and, unfortunately, the only place we allow those who are of age to "celebrate" (with adult beverages) on campus where they will be supervised is French Quarter, which also happens to be the only same enclosed space for those students who want to socialize with friends in a calm and subdued manner. Blergh. War of the Musicians. It's totally fun to be the umpire (NOT).

In other news: Hooray for Dean Pancake and LOST Night!
Is there a greater joy in life than exposing a former non-believer to the glory and wonder of LOST for the first time? And then witnessing the increased obsession at the end of each passing episode? Long story short, I have lent Erin the entirety of my LOST DVDs for the rest of the week. Happy face!
Also, this:
Erin: So, do they all grow huge beards?
Dan: No. Just Kate.
Ysabel: ...Down there.
ZING!
