EWWD: Upcoming

This promises to be a pretty busy week, despite the lack of a home football game to cap it off. I won't be going to Iowa City, although many people I know are; I have a wedding (which also means I'll be missing any events Friday and Saturday nights.)

There appear to be several Greek philanthropy dinner events beginning tonight; thanks to the meeting tonight I'll be missing the Chi Omega chili supper, and I've got a supper invitations out of town Tuesday and Thursday and will have to miss Farmhouses' burritos and Alpha Gamma Delta' Pajama Jam, but I'll try to make it to DTD's grilling on Wednesday. If you make it to any of them, or would like to, this is the entry to comment on. There all around $6 each.

In lectures, Kal Penn, an actor in a number of college-student-oriented comedies will be on campus campaigning for Obama. On Tuesday there's a more serious Obama-oriented lecture about racism, and Wednesday is the weekly Globalization series, this one about financial markets. Thursday features a colloquium on sustainable agriculture. As I mentioned I'm busy Tuesday and Thursday so I'd love to hear from anyone who makes it to those two lectures.

Wall-E continues to grace the Varsity II, and will be joined by another sci-fi animated movie: Star Wars Clone Wars. I liked the animated Clone Wars series that was on Cartoon Network, and have been planning to go to Clone Wars and the fact that it's at the Varsity II means it's less expensive than at the dodecaplex on South Duff (well what do you call a theater with 12 screens?) Don't know whether I'll try to make it Monday or Wednesday, or hope that it sticks around through next week (since Tuesdays are yet less expensive).

In athletics the women of the volleyball team take on two intrastate rivals: UNI on Wednesday and Iowa Friday.

At the m-shop there's open mic night Tuesday, sketch comedy Wednesday (only $1) and indie bands both on Thursday (supposed to be like the Rolling Stones) and Saturday (which is more modern and angry sounding) both at $9 in advance, $10 day of the show.

See you at the meeting, and don't forget to comment here on anything you make it to that I don't!
