Ah, the Monday after Thanksgiving Break – or, as we at UTB like to call it, the most depressing day of the year! Our refrigerators are empty, our GCals full, and our hearts void of love. Perhaps a peek at what's going on this week will turn those frowns upside down. No? At least we tried.
Tonight: SPEC Special Events Presents: WINTERFEST, Bodek Lounge, 7:30 p.m.
Is this when they're going to announce that Juicy J is this year's Fling headliner?
Tuesday: "Centered Leadership" with Joanna Barsh, Steinberg-Dietrich Hall, 5 p.m.
We're just going to go ahead and ask the question that everyone is thinking but doesn't want to say out loud...who actually goes to these kind of Wharton events?
Tuesday: The Body Electric's Poetry Reading, Kelly Writers House, 6 p.m.
Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn's my mother, Jesus is my bestest friend.
Tuesday-Wednesday: Insomnia Cookie Fundraiser, Insomnia Cookies in Houston
Support Students Against Sex Trafficking with their two-day fundraiser. We'll take a dozen chocolate chip, please.
Thursday: No Dirty Business: Stay Healthy This Flu Season, Huntsman, 10 a.m.
We actually love free stuff and want our gratuitous hand sanitizer ASAP.
Thursday: Quadramics Presents: Large Animal Games, Class of '49 Auditorium, 7 p.m.
What. Is. Going. On. In. This. Facebook. Event's. Cover. Photo.
Thursday: St. Elmo Speakeasy, 3627 Locust Walk, 7 p.m.
Head on over to the Sweetgreen fundraiser after, because we hear kids in Elmo love Sweetgreen.
Thursday: Sweetgreen Fundraiser with Penn Pre-Dental Society, Sweetgreen (in case that wasn't clear), 7 p.m.
Apparently, kale has unparalleled teeth benefits.
Friday-Saturday: The Excelano Project Presents: Incendiary, Dunlop Auditorium, times vary
This group better not be just a bunch of pyros.
Friday-Saturday: Off The Beat Presents: Nothing But The Beat, Harrison Auditorium at the Penn Museum, times vary
We'll only applaud their word play if they sing this.
Friday-Saturday: Sparks Dance Company Presents: "Mirror Mirror," Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, times vary
Is Sparks Dance Company the fairest of them all? Um no, because that would mean UTB isn't.
Saturday: Dischord Presents: Throwbackapella, Meyerson Hall, 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.
How many puns can you really make out of "A Capella?"
Saturday: Penn Symphony Orchestra Presents: GREATEST HITS, Irvine Auditorium, 8 p.m.
Well, since they're playing so-called 'Greatest Hits,' it must mean there's an orchestral version of "Toxic" by Britney Spears!

Will Jacob be there?
