Tigerfest is coming. Wooo?

Tigerfest is upon us Towson students, make sure you have your ticket this Saturday.

I personally have never been to a Tigerfest.  The main and only reason for that is because of my job.  Not career.  A job that does not allow any Saturdays off.

Oh well, I’m not the only not one going.  Towson University student Ken Jackson is not going either.

“I don’t [expletive] with that [expletive],” Jackson said.

The attitude on campus seems very segregated.  Where some people go head-over-heels for this university function.

According to an inside source, President of WMJF-TV Michael Nanetti wanted to leave Las Vegas early because his flight would make him late for Tigerfest last year.  Anyone else that dedicated?  To me, the bands are so mainstream and poppy that it is excruciating to listen to.  The All-American Rejects, when I was an emo 16-year-old, I thought they were hard to listen to.  Imagine how all the 20-something year olds felt.  I would have been a tree in the beer garden if I had went last year.

Aside from the artists I know that are playing, I don’t know anything else.  That is why I talked to some other students in my office and found out things I did not know existed at Tigerfest.

 Junior Jason Conti goes for the free movie posters.  He did stress to get the posters first, put them in your car and then get a good view of the stage.  Last year, the precipitation damaged all the posters and according to the weather forecast, it could rain like it did last year.

No matter what reason you attend Tigerfest, have fun, be safe and don’t publicly urinate.

 

A catwalk from campus

The bar in the Burkshire Marriott Conference Hotel right across from campus is a short walking commute for Towson students.

The U-Club isn’t for the affluent kids on campus anymore. I don’t know if it ever was, but nonetheless it sounds snooty. After MCOM-407, Happy Hour at the U-Club everyone. C’mon, let’s go.

Front desk associate for the Marriott, John Olaes, encourages college students to support the U-Club at Towson University.

“Why not come here? You don’t even have to worry about driving,” Olaes said.

You know what John, that’s right. Not only are you supporting your company, but simultaneously keeping the streets safe.

Also, after reviewing their menu, Moet & Chandon White Star only goes for $70. Arguable one of the best prices around town.  However, they are trying to let Clos du Bois merlot go for $45 which is somewhat outrageous.

Either way, this place has been here for all my years at Towson, but I have never been there. To celebrate the fact that spring/summer is here and for everyone in the class to have a good time, Tuesday after class should be a “group meeting” to discuss our favorite drinks.  (Also to have them)

What do you say class?  In the meantime I’ll try to grease up Olaes in order to get some discounts.
