"Out of desire to dazzle the audience Cassidy disrobed, revealing his tempting manly contours and bling that hung down past his belly button."

Oh god.

And... people walked out while Snoop was on?

Ouch.

"Springfest is right around the corner. On April 21st we will be holding Springfest at Baird Point weather permitting (Rainy day venue will be Alumni Arena). This years Springfest will feature Our Lady Peace, Robert Randolph, the winner of Battle of the Bands and one more national act who is TBA."

So, they've decided they'll try to hold it outside if possible. This would help avoid the apparent fact that the arena has a poor sound system. I still can't figure out how to get tickets but I've emailed some people at the student association, so hopefully someone will get back to me.

What does your mom have to do with it?

She might drive us... Melissa can't afford the bus.

After posting the link, I was more hoping for a

than a "GAH CRAP WHY?!?! "

Yeah.

If everything was sorted out right now, I'd certainly be posting a

... but it's still all up in the air and now tickets are on sale so I'm paranoid.

there are thousands of tickets, and I bet it's barely advertised. Don't worry.

I hope so.

Just asked Monkey and he can't drive us cos he's too busy that week.

I wonder how many they are setting aside for free student tickets versus tickets for sale though. They have over 27,000 students.

Soozy · Post by **Soozy** » 4/3/2006, 2:17 pm

it was something like 5000 free tickets for students and 5000 on sale.

Kathy · Post by **Kathy** » 4/3/2006, 2:35 pm

oh okay, someone told me there were 5000 in total.

Found an article about Spring Fest on the UB website: http://spectrum.buffalo.edu/article.php?id=26583

"That's why bringing a rock act to UB for the sake of balancing the fests is actually counterproductive. There aren't many rock bands with wide appeal today. SA's hands were tied, the quality rock acts available was pitifully scarce, so UB wound up with a band whose big hit, "Starseed," came out 11 years ago. The paradox is in balancing the fests musically, as many who regularly listen to rock are unhappy with Our Lady Peace's selection. They aren't a band that appeals across rock's broad spectrum like Incubus did two years ago, and certainly do not approach the popularity of recent headliners Snoop Dogg and Kanye West. "

"Because booking bands along the lines of Our Lady Peace to appease UB's rock 'n' roll fans doesn't satisfy anyone. "

Bahahaha.

WE WILL DOMINATE THE PLACE!!!!

... or at least the front row.

Kathy · Post by **Kathy** » 4/3/2006, 3:58 pm

I would drive you and Melissa if I could but ... you don't really live on my route to Buffalo.

nikki4982 · Post by **nikki4982** » 4/3/2006, 4:33 pm

Yeah.
