We are saddened to report that today’s issue of Street (the joke issue!) is the last one of the semester. But luckily it’s a good one! Contrary to what some people with poor reading comprehension skills think, Street is not a joke every week — it is funny, yes, but our interviews, reviews, and features are all REAL. Except for this week. Ahem. So now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, feast your eyes on Street U., our state school alter ego.
Inside, you’ll find the eagerly anticipated Cultural Elite ‘08, a list of seniors whose reputations precede them…a fashion guide to get you through the big game…an interview with our hero Dave Matthews…a guide to Street U. for prospective students…a class registration tip sheet…and much more!
Tonight’s “writers’ meeting” will be held at Smoke’s — meet at the Street office (4015 Walnut) at 6:30 and we’ll head there together. And don’t worry, we’ll still be blogging off and on through finals.
Well, we’ve made it, kiddies: the shoutouts issue! We suggest picking up a copy before class, lest you want to feel completely left out of the fun. But, pssst, did you know the issue contains more than shoutouts, much more? Check it out:
Street takes a page out of the National Enquirer’s book with “Weird But True: Penn Edition,” Ego’s got the scoop on the men of BMOC (which is, last we heard, back on), Fim interviews a vampire, Food & Drink classes it up, and our beloved and much-admired Editor-in-Chief bids us a fond farewell.
See you all at the button THIS AFTERNOON!
34th Street requests your presence at the button this afternoon. Stop by on your way to class, for the love of buttons!
Attention all aesthetically-minded 34th Street readers: have you checked out our exquisitely redesigned new website? In our humble opinion, it’s basically the Mona Lisa of independent college magazine websites. We are so greatful to the DP web elves (they’re like the house elves in Harry Potter, except they know HTML) for working so hard on it! In fact, we at UTB are starting to get a little jealous that 34st.com is so much prettier than us. It’s Marcia and we’re sad, plain Jan, the middle child with a “great personality.” 34st.com 34st.com 34st.com!
Greetings from Van Pelt, where we have hunkered down to wait out this dark rainy abyss of a Thursday. The only thing keeping us going is the new issue of Street, which conveniently has Smoke’s right on the cover. Let’s take a peek inside, shall we?
The centerfold, if you will, is the aforementioned valentine to Smoke[y Joe]’s, which is a much better Pennstitution than the econ screem or whatever, if you ask us. Next up, the Highbrow section brings us a dispatch from Penn’s Brown-town, also known as the South Asian community. Consider your cross-cultural analysis requirement fulfilled! Over in the film section, we learn that, in addition to Beyonce, Michael Gold also has a special place in his heart for Newsies. And Lowbrow caps off the issue with a delightful recounting of Amelia Bedelia-Cohen’s adventures at Penn. Hooray! And don’t forget about our writers’ meeting tonight, for magaziners and bloggers alike–6:30 at 4015 Walnut.
Remember the part in Clueless when Cher and Dionne are washing the dye out of Tai’s hair and picking out new clothes for her and stuff? The makeover scene! This week, Street is fashion-themed (with nary an Ugg in sight, we’d like to note). Here’s what you have to look forward to:
The aforementioned fashion story is front and center, then we have UTB’s very own Carlin Adelson in print, bigs ups! And is it just us, or is this week’s Ego of Week duo even more attractive than usual? (Does that make us The-hoes?) And look, a super-classy cheese tasting! All that, a bag of chips, and more–it this week’s issue! Writers’ meeting tonight at 6:30, you know the deal.
Darkness falls across the land, the midnite hour is close at hand, etcetera etcetera…Happy almost Halloween! As we were googling “Vincent Price” just now, we totally realized, and pardon us if this was obvious to everyone already, that “Disturbia” is a modern update of “Thriller”! Just like how “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” is an update of “Can’t Buy Me Love.” (And we’re talking about the Nick Cannon/Patrick Dempsey movies, not the songs, FYI). It’s really all coming together today! And hey, it’s Thursday, that means there’s a new issue of Street to read!
Containing a jaunt through our local haunted prison, a hymn to the tide-to-go pen, a guide to gum, and so much more! See you all at our writers’ meeting tonight (4015 Walnut, 6:30 p.m., costumes optionional).
It is Thursday, and by the transitive property, that means there’s a new issue of Street for you to lovingly peruse:
Pick it up to read about our political bloggers-in-arms, how you can translate current events into topical Halloween costumes, whether Distrito is worth your dinero, Mask & Wig’s new show, and more!
Writers’ meeting tonight, 6:30 at 4015 Walnut Street–see you there?
Picture it: you’re on your way to “Ideas in Mathematics” or some other unbearable class, and you decide to pick up a DP (newspapers? booooo!), but soft, what light through yonder DP breaks? It is Street, back from fall break for your reading pleasure!
Look inside, kiddies! Street’s got:
Fuck buddies? Pennemies? A guide to casual sex west of the schuylkill…
An interview with your neighborhood fratty guitar brigade, Grandpa and the Rockers–Look but don’t touch to avoid SLAMMY status, ladies…
Underage and engaged: the married Quakers you probably won’t see at Smoke’s tonight…
Previews of movies we actually want to see…
And more!
Well hello there, vast readership! UTB’s cheeks are blushing scarlet today–we just checked out the new issue of Street (in pdf, bitches) and could barely turn a page without seeing an ad for this very blog! But there’s other good stuff too! Check it out:
On the cover this week, a professional Ben Franklin doppelganger waxes colonial…
The Ego section reveals how to turn a routine grocery run into “How Stella Got Her Groove Back…in the cereal isle“…
Food & Drink teaches us about yogurt and homonyms with a review of Phileo…
OMG OMG Film talks to Michael Cera! What a fun, sexy time for us all!
Here’s to you, 34th Street. You make us want to be a better blog.
It’s Thursday, and you know what that means, Earthquakes: 34th Street hits the newsstands, conveniently wrapped in the DP for all-weather protection. What’s inside this week? We’re glad you asked!
Houston, we have a sushi bar! The hidden history of Houston Hall…
A recipe for Challah French Toast (Internationalism, yay! Coming soon: Belgian Waffle-Latkes!)…
An interview with a hippie-cowboy-DJ-engineer…
An early-morning class survival guide…
And more! See you at the writers’ meeting tonight, 6:30, 4015 Walnut.
