STREET PRESENTS: Hack City, Bitch

Picture-6Happy Thursday everybody, Street’s got some sweet, sweet nothings to whisper into your eyes this week. First, enter the Matrix the world of hackers with Street’s feature on Pennapps, the biggest hackathon in the world. Then, we present our Ego of the Week, Sarah Richter of the Excelano Project, a regular coolgirl if we ever did see.
Music offers us a chance at redemption with a retrospective and a future–spective on Destiny’s Child, Street’s own favorite remnant from the 90s and 00s. Film brings us another look into the Greek Life — which movies really represent it? I’m pretty sure Penn’s going to suffer some revenge from the nerds at some stage… Need to let off some steam? Former UTB Managing Ed Ian Bussard gladly rants to us about the horrors of Instagram this week — not for the lovers of sepia.
Arts brings to the foray something that may resemble a hose with glowy parts, but rest assured, Street is definitely sure it’s art. Finally, check out Street’s very own version of The Walk, “The Strut,” and flashback in time with BP’s look at Penn’s most ancient yearbooks.

Let’s get this out of the way: SHOUTOUTS SHOUTOUTS SHOUTOUTS!

And on that note, finals! Papers! Formals! There is just not enough time in the day for your average straight–A, organization–leading, sports–playing, a capella–singing Penn student. No wonder we’re all hopped up on artificial intelligence — and not just the kind in your coffee.

If your study habits tend more toward “legal”, check out Food and Drink’s guide to caffeine. Or just take a breather and read about what the president of Excelano Project does in the shower.

Music helps you to refresh your musical lexicon so you don’t look like a dunce next time you’re talking to a music theorist. Film give you the straight dope on which films SHOULD be winning the Oscars next year. Arts helps preps you for the holidays with glitter. And Highbrow preps the Senior class for its last semester, via someone who just survived hers. Tear.

Second to last writer’s meeting of the semester! 6:30 p.m., 4015 Walnut. See you there, right??

Cultural Elite is DEAD. Introducing: Senior Superlatives

Cultural Elite as you knew it is gone. But don’t go mourning the loss of Penn’s most scandalous senior year tradition just yet. Take off that black lace veil… you look ridiculous. Cultural Elite was a caterpillar; it’s been hiding in a cocoon or whatever metamorphosis metaphor you want to make and it’s about to burst out as a beautiful butterfly. See, we at Street took into account everything people loved and hated about the feature and came up with something new and exciting. We just love to shake things up.

Here’s the plan: Senior Superlatives. Just like the ones you did in high school but we’re doing them Street Style. So retro! We’ll post categories and you, the people, will nominate whoever you want. We’ll review submissions and send out a survey of the finalists for everyone to vote on. Yay democracy! Choose wisely because this year, Cultural Elite is up to you.

Check out the categories and nominate your roommate/best friend/slam piece over at 34st.com/superlatives.

STREET Presents: A Report on Cheating

Mum’s the word when it comes to academic dishonesty. As the writer of this week’s feature finds out, secrets are the sort of thing you don’t share — unlike problem sets or exam answers.

Ego talks to a funny gal after our own hearts with an affinity for BBP. Film takes a holiday movie trip down memory lane. Arts has some classes for you to take that aren’t in Addams. Highbrow gets waxed for Woodser.

Music fills you in on the bands who you may not know playing at the Penn Music Collective show tonight. Pregame with the aid of Backpage’s vodka blind taste test. Try Food’s hangover cures in the morning.

Lowbrow has classifieds (Do you need a job? Are you good at doing impressions of falafel sandwiches?? See inside.)

The last regular writer’s meeting of the semester is tonight at 6:30, 4015 Walnut. It’s never too late to get involved. We’ve been waiting for you…

STREET Presents: Escape from Penn

Hi there. You still with us? Good. Then read on about Penn’s own dissidents. Transfer students share their stories on why they left Penn in this week’s feature.

Ego talks to the Big Men On Campus, and Film chills with Agyness Deyn. Music fills you in on a hip hop “Initiative” at Penn. Arts explores another initiative (sans quotes) by the Kelly Writer’s House, which pairs artists with writers.

Food’s theme this week is themes. Can you say meta?

Highbrow gossips, and Lowbrow hands out awards for the best toilets on campus (see if your favorite took home the gold!) Backpage has doggie woggies. Poochy woochies. Frat dogs.

Writer’s meeting tonight! 6:30. 4015 Walnut. Frat dogs welcome (please).

STREET Presents: Muscles Meet Minds

Well hello there, slacker! While you were sleeping, we were waking up at 5:30 am to work out and eat two breakfasts. Such is the life of a Mr. Penn—competitor, and the subject of this week’s feature on body building.

Halloween is over (where did it go?), but Highbrow takes a look back from the spookiest place on earth: behind the American Apparel counter.  Done with your risque–nutcracker getup? Let Arts help you repurpose it.

Music strolls down Baltimore to the Marvelous’ new location. Food & Drink sets two opposites up on a date.

Film talks to Robert Zemeckis. Yes, that Robert Zemeckis. And Ego talks to resident campus face–melters, Slow Dance Chubby.

Writer’s meeting tonight.  4015 Walnut. 6:30 pm. There might be some candy left over from yesterday.

STREET Presents: From Farm to Market

Aaaaand we’re back! Hope you didn’t miss us TOO much while you were galavanting around the Bahamas, or being fed real food by your moms.

This week, we’re all about that time of the season. What could be more autumnal than fresh produce sold on leaf–strewn sidewalks? Read on to find out more about Philly’s grand tradition of Farmer’s Markets. And while you’re at it, pick up some squash.

Meanwhile, Arts sends you in search of the fall–friendly grandpa sweater. Ego has some important PSAs about Halloween. Lowbrow takes a turn for the spooky.

Music reviews TSwift’s latest. Film talks to a student–screenwriter. Highbrow’s on the prowl for a sugar daddy.

Writer’s meetings resume tonight! Same time, same place: 4015 Walnut, 6:30. Let’s hug and forget we were ever apart.
