"Life as a Talent Scout"
Move over Paula, Randy, and Simon.
You've got competition.
So last week, in preparation for a CPW event that my fraternity hosts every year, Battle of the Bands, I went to check out a potential band for the competition.
So on the way there, I stopped at Burger King on the way and tried the Cheesy Tots.
I don't even want to know how many years of my life I scraped off with that one.
I soon arrived at Harper's Ferry to a packed room of about 15 people, 5 of which were staff.
Verdict: We'll see about them.
For your historical pleasure:
Last year, Ben Jones and his band performed with guest performer Marilee Jones. What surprises are in store for Battle of the Bands 2007? I guess you'll have to wait and see ;-)
In other concert news....
....well, it's not really news if it happened a while ago, right?
At a senior class event last semester, three of my friends and I won tickets to go to the Justin Timberlake concert. They were free, and I couldn't say no.
So we went.
And we had fun.
I just recovered my hearing from the girls who were screaming in the row behind me.
Go 'head and be gone with it.

I don't really think Ben has a band, it is just a group of admissions gurus.

I am indeed in a band. And I believe we'll be performing again at this year's CPW... with Marilee!

Hey Bryan, guess what! I was flipping through an MIT brochure from a couple of years ago, and I saw some guy smiling. I thought "Hey, he looks familiar, what's his name?" Turns out there's a page long bio/story about Bryan Owens, Sophomore, Mechanical Engineer from Houston Texas. Fancy that, you're famous! Lol, I like surprises like these.
Here's a digital photo of the page. The words are pretty blurred, but you can see the picture and read the caption. It's our buddy Bryan O!
