Possible flash pool party at Freeman [u]

Did someone just invent a new secret society? Did I fall victim to someone's mean joke? I suppose only time will tell. Anyway, make of this what you will. I don't know if it's legit or not, but it seemed intriguing enough to post.

Wesleyan,

You are invited to a pool party. Please enjoy, and don't be afraid to show your true colors. Freeman pool. Right now. Go.

Love,
Lock & Link

The pool officially closed at 5:30 this evening.

[EDIT 10:23 PM] At this point, it's probably safe to assume that P-Safe is all over this one. But, "John" writes:

Access to pool through men's locker room. Door is taped. The pool is fucking red.

If this is real and you've got photos, send 'em in!

Shasha Marley with Buru Style at Eclectic

Ghanaian superstar Shasha Marley is playing a show tonight in Eclectic with Wes band Buru Style, to raise money for Ghana. From AuralWes:

Shasha Marley hails from Ghana, and plays a mixture of reggae, blues, and funk (listen here). He's known for his uplifting and politically-charged lyrics, and has worked throughout Africa to raise AIDS awareness and try to shake its stigma. Marley often dresses in a cassock and sash as a way of paying homage to the Franciscan Friars, whose ethics and moral code he admires, lending him the nicknames "Reggae-Monk" and "Monk on the Loose." Backing Marley on Saturday are Wesleyan dub and reggae group Buru Style, led by grad student Bill Carbone and featuring Wes students Adam Kubota, Jake Gold, Eric Sherman, Andrew Fogliano, Nate Ash-Morgan, Amanda Facelle, and Raphaelle Brochet.

Proceeds from the event will go toward peace in Ghana, which is maybe just a little vague but no doubt more details are forthcoming. Tickets will be sold at the door and throughout the week. To wit:

Strategy Games at ADP

Becca Martin '10 sends words of strategy games at ADP:

Everyone is invited! More people = more games = more fun!

There will be snacks.

Date: Saturday, 9/27
Time: Noon-5pm
Location: ADP living room

You want fries with that?

Wes football is looking for two people to help sell programs on Saturday from 11:30 to 1:30. The job pays $20 and entails sitting there and waiting for someone to come buy a program. As we're not charging admission to games this season, we need all the program revenue we can get, and what other job that doesn't entail pestering everyone in the phone book generates money for both the employee and the university? (Not to mention that the trustees will be in town this weekend...)

You know the drill. E-mail Brian Katten (bkatten@wes) if you're interested.

EDIT (Ben, 8:14): Just to clarify, that's this Saturday, September 27.
EDIT 2 (Ben, 10:11): Talk about a quick response. Suffice it to say we've found people to do this.
