Outdoor Dance Party

It's like a dance party...BUT OUTSIDE!

Date: Friday, 9/19
Time: 10 p.m.- Midnight
Location: Outside the front of ADP

Jazz night in the Grotto

Looking for something more relaxed than the sex party, or just want to do something chill earlier in the night before going out and committing acts of debauchery? Join us listening to Jazz and hanging out in the Grotto. There will be snacks!

Date: Saturday, 9/20
Time: 9 p.m.-11 p.m.
Location: The ADP Grotto

Looking For Happier Times? Go See "Happy Days"

Mark McCloughan '10 encourages everyone to see Samuel Beckett's play Happy Days this Saturday at the '92 Theater.

Happy Days is a simple story of how one woman gets through her day(s). Performed by Annie Paladino '09 as part of her senior thesis, the play also features Carmen Melillo '09 and is directed by Gedney Barclay '09. Free tickets are available the day of the performance at the Usdan box office.

What: Happy Days, a play by Samuel Beckett
Where: Patricelli '92 Theater
When: Thursday at 8, Friday at 8, Saturday at 2 and 8

Period Sex: Eclectic's Sex Party this Saturday

It's time for the infamous (and arguably most anticipated party of the year) sex party, thrown by Eclectic, which tones down its party themes from last year with "PERIOD SEX." (Remember Hillary Clinton's Hidden Vagenda?)

Here's the info from Sam Ottinger '09:

You've been waiting with baited breath and, yes, it's finally that time of the month. Powder your wigs, wax your merkins, juice your loins, and grease your members; the Eclectic Sex Party is only a reach around away! But what is the theme you passionately cry!?! Why it's Period Sex, only one entendre short of an ménage a trois. Recall if you will the Marquis de Sade ramming his piece into Anne-Prospere and Robespierre reigning his terror into Marie Antoinette's bloody gash, while Louis XIV steadies the webcam – and Lady Macbeth really meaning it as she shrieks "Out, damn spot!"

If you think you can bear the brutal and incessant ravaging that is period sex please join us in your favorite 'period piece' 10pm-2am on September 20th.

The Rules:
a) No containers in the house.
s) Dress to get fucked. We will personally engulf every last inch of you.
s) Bring single dollars. There will be pay-to-play tricks and treats.
s) Tickets will be sold IN ADVANCE ONLY. Wednesday ($6), Thursday ($6), and Friday ($7), lunchtime and dinnertime at Oozedan.
e) re-entry prohibited except up the corn-hole
x) Without a ticket and a valid College ID, we will be tearfully unable to let you and your friends into our moist, milky wormhole that is Eclectic Haus.

Give us your best, and we'll give you everything we've got, forever. Prepare for rug-burning Neanderthal cybersex at the event horizon of a universal orgasm, but real, with Crisco.

xoxo,
Eclectic

ASHPET: An Appalachian Cinderella Story

Date: Friday, Sept. 19 and Saturday, Sept. 20
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: South Church (corner of Church and Main)

More details are available on Facebook.

What starts with "F" and ends with "uck Party"?

That's right: a Fire Truck Party.

As the prize for a corn eating contest in New London this summer, the newly founded Fire Grill LLC is coming to Wesleyan to host a two hour cookout party .... where all food will be cooked off grills installed into the back of a restored antique firetruck!

So come; eat firetruck food, have firetruck conversations, rock out to firetruck music, or dance like a fireman. There will be plenty of food (including kosher and vegan options), so invite all of your friends and let's make it the most firetruck two hours Wesleyan has ever seen!

Hosted by ΑΔΦ, the Bayit, Science Hall, and 59 Pine.

Date: Saturday, Sept. 20
Time: 1:00 – 3:00 PM
Location: Behind the Bayit (157 Church)
