Mask and Wig takes on the RIAA!

Thursday, November 1, 2007

More homecoming videos are making their way to DuelingTampons.com.

This set of videos come from this year's Mask and Wig fall show "Phallus in Wonderland." (video credits: Kayd Mustonen). The videos cover clips from the show including the second act's opening number, the closer and a funny "Filler" dance break bit.

Typically Mask and Wig's second act opener uses popular songs to poke fun of current campus issues. This year, Mask and Wig used all Creedence Clearwater songs to poke fun of the RIAA cracking down on Penn students for illegal downloads ....leading President Gutmann to turn the internet off at Penn! Luckily, one student, "Roflcopter69" leads a rebellion and saves the day.

Recent Mask and Wig grad, Josh Burgess (C'07) had great things to report about this show with highlights centering around bits about "a computer that came out to its user (with a great impression of the computer-generated voice), two cowboys in a duel that kept going wrong, and one really ambitious bit that went in reverse, kind of like Memento."

I watch these Mask and Wig videos and am quick to reflect about my years in Mask and Wig, when we used soundtracks for our second act openers from Les Miserables, Jesus Christ Superstar, the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band and Rocky Horror Picture Show to poke fun of topics ranging from the '92 presidential elections, to Judy Rodin's new appointment as President of Penn, to the "BYOB" (bring your own beer) issues (no alcohol could be served at fraternity parties..yeah those times were not fun).

Check out all Mask and Wig videos here!

Have you taken a peek at the 500+ Penn related videos we've got (divided neatly into categories? :)

Penn sets Guiness Record: Who says size doesn't matter?

Wednesday, October 24, 2007

It's 15 feet 9 inches long and Penn just set a guiness book record that belonged once to Harvard.

You've got to click here to find out what it is!

On October 14, 2006 the Harvard University set a new world record for the largest conductor's baton with a baton nearly 12 feet in length.

On October 20, 2007, the Penn band shattered that record with an even bigger baton!

Take that Harvard.

Writer's House: Remembering Bob Lucid (Homecoming 2007)

Wednesday, March 7, 2007

The Writers House will be remembering and celebrating the life and work of Robert ("Bob") Lucid twice in upcoming months. Alumni and friends are invited to join for either or both of the two events.

  • First, on Friday, April 13th, 5pm, the English department will host a memorial service on the sixth floor of Van Pelt Library.
  • Second, on Friday, October 19, at 6 PM, the Kelly Writers House will celebrate their memories of Bob with a Lucidfest - readings, reminiscences, and performances by Bob's former students, friends and colleagues. (This event takes place at the start of Penn's 2007 Homecoming Weekend. We hope that many alumni will plan to attend Homecoming, and begin the weekend by joining us at the Writers House on Friday evening.)

    Please mark your calendars.

    The Writer's House Bob Lucid page (with recollections of and praise for Bob by alumni) can be found here:
