Can you please change the title of this post? Calling participants "townies" doesn't exactly help town-gown relations.
Why do townies try to party with us?
Whaley, how's that report coming?
"Townie" is what people say when they don't feel comfortable saying the n-word.
Really offensive.
you people need to calm down about the word townie...

Wow Anon 2:11, way to bring race into it and then be offended that it has been made an issue. Classy.
Yeah, plenty of townies are crackers.
In answer to 1:30 p.m., it's because there's next to nothing for anyone under the age of 21 to do after dark. In case you haven't noticed, Middletown (with some rare exceptions) hates its young.
Um, welcome to the American Experience...?
I hope that we can not blame this on "the townies." Yes, the Middletown/Wes relationship is less than ideal, but that's as much our fault as Wesleyan students as it is any "townie's" fault. This is an isolated incident that occurred.
I think it would be great if there more events on campus that were open to the greater Middletown community (although I noticed a lot more over the past year! good job, Wes)
There was a pretty sketchy guy in a red van tonight who asked me if there were "any parties going on, bro?"
That was lulz.
cause people always need to get fucked up. if the cops let townies throw massive ragers, then it would be a different situation.
seriously, like how is this school so fucking dangerous. its kinda scary.
it's not that bad. the same weekend the home invasion was going on, a Harvard senior was blogging this about their visit to Wesleyan:

um... not sure if it's right, too, to say that it's not the townie's fault. they got really fucking violent for no good reason (ie is there ever a good reason for shit like the fight that happpened?) and it was scary as shit. that's all there is to it.

My friends and I called PSafe freshman year about a similar experience with someone in a van asking us where the parties were... it was the falafel guy, so it's entirely it was something like that.
