With the Spring Comes Cafe Beacon
Written by Dale Lally on Thursday, March 11, 2010 16:01:38 EST:

On Tuesday, April 20, a tradition of self-expression, Cafe Beacon, returns. It's an informal forum for poetry, spoken word, comedy, acoustic music, performance art: like an old-school Greenwich Village coffee house (this is NOT Starbucks). You sign up for five minutes of whatever you do (see Lally or Ali Wittner) and perform on a small stage set up in the cafeteria. Start is 3:35, end is 5:30-ish.
Cafe Beacon is a student-run deal, so we need emcees from EACH class (it's open to freshmen, too), set-up and clean-up volunteers and cute girls (or guys) to be waiter-people. There's an organizational meeting on Monday before the break, March 22 at 3:35 in Room 114 (just off the cafeteria). Be political, speak/sing protest or praise, but come EXPRESS YOURSELF.
Questions? Ask Natalia, Nate Bondy, Ali or Lally

Need new jeans, but only have a few dollars in your pocket? In need of a winter coat, but can't afford store prices? Envying your friend's Jordans? Come to our Vintage Sale, and pick up a whole new wardrobe for less than you'll pay for lunch this week! We are selling tons of clothing, outerwear, shoes and jewelry, and nothing is over $10. In fact, most is priced under $5. The sale will start at 3:00 in the cafeteria, Tuesday, March 16th. Indulge yourself and help us produce our magazine at the same time!

Hope to see you there, and tell your parents, too!
