It’s that awkward limbo time between Fling and finals. Might as well not spend it comatose/destitute/in VP!
Love Is Not Blind
Who? Penn Chinese Theater
Where and When? Tonight at 7:30 at Ibrahim Theater in International House
Why? It’s their first ever show, so go out and support the new group. It definitely sounds dramatic.
Fling.
But also, this stuff.
Springfest
Who? SPEC
When & Where? Wynn Commons, Monday 6-7:30PM
Why? Um, hello! The theme is Throwback to the 90s! Don’t miss Dance Dance Revolution, inflatable Twister, 90s trivia, a photo booth, and the chance to win 2 floor passes for the Fling concert.
It’s April Fool’s, so we’re all hoping that Girl Talk is SPEC’s way of tricking the entire student body. They’re not. Anyway, today’s the nicest day we’ve seen all year and it’s time to prep for the mess that will be Fling 2k13. In the meantime, find space to squeeze some of these events into your calendar for this week!
Relay For Life
Who? Relay For Life
When and where? Friday, April 5 at 7 p.m. at Franklin Field
Why? Help raise Money to save lives!
CHAC Annual Spring Service Day
Who? Civic House Association’s Coalition and PRISM
When and where? Saturday, April 6 at 10:30 a.m. at Civic House
Why? Help formerly incarcerated men rebuild their lives. Volunteers will be cleaning up a West Philly neighborhood.
Well, it’s the last full week of March, although Weather.com might indicate otherwise. Time is FLYING, Quakerz! So don’t get burnt out, because Penn is a-bustlin’ with events galore. Maybe your midterms are done! Maybe the Fling headliner will be announced! Two-thirds of the student body is likely in tech week for the myriad of performances happening this upcoming weekend. Let’s take a look at what’s going down on campus before the arrival of April and all its alcoholism.
Who? Student Sustainability Association at Penn (SSAP)
When and where? Ongoing everywhere, through Greenfest on Friday
Why? Environmentalism is sexy and the green lovin’ doesn’t end with St. Paddy’s Day
Who? Hillel (obvi)
When and where? Hillel, tonight through the rest of PESACH
Why? God parted the red seas to help Moses lead the Jews to Israel (you can read about it in the Bible), so Passover is a BFD – class cancellations are not uncommon. Celebrate with seders tonight and tomorrow and something called Mega Shabbat on Friday, with performances by the Shabbatones and Bloomers
St. Paddy’s has come and gone; your head is a pain-bundle, your one green shirt is ruined. Here’s Monday, with its snow/sleet combo, to kick you in the shins. But fear not! There’s lots of great Penn things this week, so turn those lemons into yellow Gatorade and get back in the game!
Who? Penn’s LGBTQA community
When and where? All week, lots of places!
Why? One of the things that makes Penn great is how gay we are. Celebrate it this week! At least give them credit for the pun.
Who? Penn’s Orthodox Jewish Community
When and where? Tuesday, Bodek Lounge in Houston Hall
Why? Get a manicure from the pros without leaving campus, and support Breast Cancer research at the SAME TIME
We get that it’s basically Monday night and What’s HaPENNing is basically 1/7 irrelevant now, but did you complete all your post-spring break homework on time? We didn’t think so. Did you even get out of bed today? We didn’t think so. To the events!
Who? Undergraduate Sports Business Marketing Club, Black Wharton, and MUSE
When and where? Tonight! Right now! 6pm! Go! Huntsman!

Who? All your friends in SPEC
When and where? Tonight! 6:30-8 in Hall of Flags
Why? One-stop shop for SPEC speakers this semester. Plus free wings and mozz sticks!
Another Monday. Funday Monday, right? Wrong. Mondays suck and we all hate them, so let’s just be clear: most of us probably have [multiple] midterms this week and it’s likely that we’ll all gain weight and get [b]acne. Been there, done that, yawn, sigh. In the meantime, check what’s going on at a Penn near you!
Free Skate Rental
Who? The Penn ice rink
When and where? Monday, February 18th, 12 – 1:30 p.m.
Why? President’s Day special!

IT’S THE LAST WEEK BEFORE FINALS, STOP READING THIS AND GET DOWN WITH YOUR BAD SELF. HERE’S HOW:
Die Hard Screening
Who: The Trocadero
When and where: Monday, 8 p.m.; The Trocadero (10th and Arch)
Why: ATTENTION UTB SHOPPERS: BRUCE WILLIS! Watch him in the subtle drama of Die Hard (1998). Costumes are encouraged. $3 gets you a ticket and goes towards a drink!
So you woke up over break, checked your schedule and got NONE of the classes you pre-registered for? Buck up, kids, the world’s going to end in a few short weeks! Here’s how you should be spending your last few days on earth:
Student-Athlete Talent Show
Who: Penn athletes
When and where: Today, 8 p.m.; The Palestra
Why: A talent show is at its best a spectacle and its worst a complete train wreck. It’s a win-win situation– what do you have to lose? The event coordinators urge you to bring new and gently used hats, gloves and scarves for donation to the homeless, which rules.
GOOD MORNING, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA! You look wonderful today, did you know that? Whatever you’re doing, it’s working.
Friarside Coffeehouse
Who: Friars Senior Society and Penn Habitat for Humanity
When and where: Wednesday, 8 p.m.; The Castle (36th and Locust)
