Prometheus Show, Foss Hill, Monday 8pm

Mark Procter '10 writes in to tell us:

Classes are over, it's time for some fire. While we cannot provide incineration services for your notebooks, you should still come watch. It's freakin' cold, so we're only going to be out there until 8:30. It's fire; you should come.

What: Prometheus Show
Where: Foss Hill
When: Monday, 8pm

Waiting In Line's final (exam) concert

Samantha Pearlman '11 writes:

Come see Waiting in Line’s final concert of the semester! The concert will not only be filled with Christmas cheer, but it will also feature [not pictured] Mike Sandwick's strapping good looks, Chiara Di Lello and Rachel Carpman's sultry singing stylings, and Julia Michaels’ unattainable freshman beauty that will guarantee an entertaining evening. Also, we have new songs that will hopefully make you wet yourself a little. How's that for incentive? So, take a study break and giggle with us.

Date: Monday, Dec. 8
Time: 9:30 PM
Place: Nic lounge

Rocky Horror on Monday

Date: Monday, Dec. 8
Time: 11:59 PM
Place: Memorial Chapel

Poetry reading Monday: LimeLight, Round Two!

Audrey McGlinchy '11 writes:

LimeLight, Round Two!: The first one was so successful we just couldn't resist rounding up the poets again!

A poetry reading hosted by The Hangman’s Lime, Wesleyan’s all poetry magazine, because we love reading poetry, but love hearing it more! Bring your friends, your ears, and your mouths (for the free limes, of course!).

Contact Audrey at amcglinchy@wes (careful on the spelling; there's also an amcglinchey) if you're interested in reading.

Date: Monday, Dec. 8

Do you play trumpet, bass, or kazoo?
Looking for something crazy to do
to celebrate classes being through?
We’re looking for you!

The final contradance of the year will feature an Open Band: everyone is invited to participate. For the music players, there will be one brief rehearsal; no practice necessary for dancers. We’ll be playing short tunes which are easy to pick up. If you’d like to take part in the Open Band, please contact etroll@wes.

Date: Monday, Dec. 8
Time: 8:00 – 11:00 PM
Place: Beckham Hall
