ShutterButton: Fish(er)ing For Finals

reading-room-university-of-pennsylvania-library-philadelphia-pennsylvania--2.jpg.png

We’re dreaming of a white Christmas weeknight bootycall library that hasn’t reached maximum occupancy this week. Despite Fisher’s current lack of seats (bitter), we’re glad the setup has changed significantly since 1900, when this photo was taken. Looks like a perfect place to cram for Intro to Claustrophobia or cry about that last BYO/mixer/shitshow you’re missing. Don’t fret honey child, you’re evidently amongst friends, and there’s always next year.

Ditch Power Hour For Happy Hours

Morning-Happy-Hour23Nothing gets us wasted buzzed psyched more than a great happy hour deal! After plenty of research, we have struck gold. Let’s face it, we’re all desperate to save our dolla dolla billz and, as per usual, UTB has answered your prayers. Here are the 6 winners!

1. Harvest Seasonal Grill
Despite public misconception, Harvest reigns supreme in this contest. For all of you who think this eatery and bar is out of your price range…false.

Besides having 41 affordable, low-cal meal options (swimsuit season!) their drink deals will put your money where you want it…in your pocket, duh.

Happy hour 4-6 every glorious day: $3 Draft Beers, $4 House Wines By the Glass, $5 Select Specialty Cocktails

Locust Flaikus: SABOTAGED

Locust FlaikusThis just in, our in-high-demand Locust Flaikus were sabotaged today. We have eye-witness reports that Locust Walk suffered a new kind of infestation: ART VENDORS. Only one flyer survived the madness, so it looks like they win these Hunger Games.

ShutterButton: Vintage Quad

resolver
Spring Fling is in the air and we are so freakin’ excited! What better way to get psyched (or faded, if you will) than to check out a Quad throwback? Pictured are two Penn students strolling through the LQ courtyard on a beautiful day in 1947. Here’s hoping for warm Fling weather like this, and maybe a worthwhile headliner? Sending out an SOF (save our Fling)! … David Guetta, are you there? Anybody?

You Spring Breakers still readjusting to Philly temperatures are probably wondering the whereabouts of the sun, but  UTB is here to hold your hand and to tell you to let it be, girl!

If you’re sensing a theme, it’s thanks to Wharton C’40 grad Alan Livingston, who spent his college years playing in his own orchestra at frat parties while pursuing a degree in Economics.

People Who Show Up at Penn: Moses

photo-1

Always something there to remind us…that there is never a dull moment at Penn. In case you weren’t so fortunate last night to see him in action, we got this great snapshot of Moses. This picture shows our dear friend doing what he does best: preaching to the people! ”I am Moses! Look at me, it’s Moses! Bow down to me swine, I’m Moses!” said Moses, as people laughed. Keep an eye out in case he decides to re-apparate. Just goes to show, you never know who is watching…

Added bonus, 30% of proceeds go to Jewish Family & Children Service of Greater Philadelphia. So throw on that mask you saved from high school, and over to Smoke’s tonight from 8-10 to celebrate a worthwhile cause.
