Clear filtersWork for Circus: My Last Big Show
May 6, 2009
We packed the bleachers, night after night, squishing in 500 people per show. An audience of 1,500 in all saw my last big show.
Committee meetings are better over lunch
April 27, 2009
I got a little overzealous and started quizzing people on their "action items," which I think only confused the issue.
Events Galore
April 25, 2009
In which I support our claims about the astounding volume and variety of events in Oberlin by telling you about my week.
Remember, Remember the 18th of April
April 25, 2009
There comes a weekend in April that you don't necessarily know how it exists. Namely, there is so much packed into a 72 hour period that you need something akin to a Time-Turner (from Harry Potter, lest you forget) to process everything.
Toni Morrison says we are a big deal
April 24, 2009
Our president Marvin Krislov presented Dr. Morrison with several gifts, one of which included a note from her 91-year-old first grade teacher from Lorain, Ohio - a phenomenal moment to consider that this powerful, Nobel-Peace-Prize-winning, larger-than-life inspiration to me was once upon a time, merely a first grader.
Concerts galore

How to combine Ralph Nader, bad poetry, Bleak House, music, and chemistry into a single blog entry
April 9, 2009

RJD2 =/= R2D2
March 16, 2009
Oberlin is a mecca for all things music, and not just because of the Conservatory. Cool awesome bands and musicians are here all the time, at a fraction of the cost of most performances in the real world.
"Get your feathers out of my nose"
March 14, 2009
Papageno, essentially a humanized bird and bird catcher, sang about how he wanted to catch chicks. And when he said "chicks," he didn't mean those little yellow baby chickens.
A Congress of Art at the Congressional Art Show
March 11, 2009
For three weeks of the year, the walls of the Bent corridor (which I totally thought was just a descriptor, not the name of two illustrious alumni, up until last week) are graced with beautiful local artwork from students from the 9th Congressional District. I was ever so lucky to be there photographing it.
