Wednesday One Liner + New video!

thevarsityshow — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 16:15:22 +0000

This one liner actually comes from a professor, upon seeing a poster in Hamilton:

“You know, I went to this school, and if I hadn’t seen your poster, I would have thought the only thing Columbians have done consistently for 116 years is complain.”

Truer words never spoken. So join in the other long-standing tradition this weekend!

Also, check out our latest video: Get to know Ben Russell…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvC1aDfZ-0Y

2 day, Columbians! Get your tickets!!

John Jay dinner tonight! And new video!

thevarsityshow — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 15:33:28 +0000

You read right, Columbians.

It’s that time of year again – the time when we see what culinary delicacies John Jay has to offer. Might wanna get there early – there’s a possibility of free swag

Also, check out video 2/5 for this week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzwjQrSUCEc

Getting to know you – Show week edition

thevarsityshow — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 16:53:12 +0000

That’s right, Columbians. If the yellow posters and facebook event aren’t enough of an indication, The 116th Annual Varsity Show is THIS WEEK!

That means we’ve got some very special stuff to share with you. First, meet Yonatan Gebeyehu (CC ’11). You may remember him as the Hallelujah Man / Prezbo from V115. Here’s what he has to say for himself:

1. If you could have a drink with any Columbian, past or present, who would it be and why?

Jake Gyllenhaal! He was AWESOME in Bubble Boy!

2. What’s your favorite menu item at Milano? (Or other go-to area restaurant)

I feel like it changes. Freshman year it was always ALWAYS the chicken parmesan sandwich. Now its number 24. No cucumbers. On a tomato fococcia.

3. What’s the best part about being involved in Varsity Show?

The novelty. When I walk down the street people no longer say, “hey, you were that black guy in my lit hum class.” Now, it’s “hey you were that black guy in my lit hum class who was in the varsity show!”

4. Describe your Varsity Show experience in one word

Varsity! (show)

And one more thing…We thought it would be nice to let you get to know the actors in their original habitat. So check out this first in a series of Getting to know yous….

You can catch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yanq8XwUpKo

Happy Monday, Columbians!

Top10

thevarsityshow — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 14:55:12 +0000

The top 10 reason YOU should see the 116th Annual Varsity Show.
When is it you say?
Terrific question! The 116th Annual Varsity Show is:
April 30 @ 8
May 1 @ 8
May 2 @ 2 and 8
For tickets, visit the TIC in Lerner, or click here: http://www.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/731435

10. It’s the 116th Annual Varsity Show, and Columbia’s main gates are at 116th St. It’s SO symbolic.

9. The tickets may not be free, but the Barnard jokes sure are.

8. Roone Arledge is a guaranteed coyote free zone.

7. Shorter and more enjoyable than the line for the Lerner Package center.

6. It’s one last chance to actually know what you’re laughing at before finals week.

5. You can write informed comments on bwog after.

4. There may or may not be singing and dancing. Can’t tell you.

3. With a name like the 116th Annual Varsity Show it has to be good.

2. You’re reading our blog. Come on.

1. It’s the one time the Columbia community truly comes together – and not in the “let’s all sit under tents on the lawn and listen to administrators speak” kind of way, but in the “let’s watch a musical chronicling the year and laugh at ourselves” kind of way. (Yeah, the last one wasn’t funny.)

See you in a week, Columbians!

Wednesday One Liner

thevarsityshow — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 17:05:38 +0000

After checking in with our weekend poll, it seems like a lot of you are looking forward to home “suite” home next year. (It’s a pun. See what we did there?)

Some call it “Huggles”, “Snuggles”, “Struggles” … We want to know what your favorite dorm pun is.
Who knows. It could become the new default nickname. You might just make fetch happen.

Happy Wednesday, Columbians!
