Despite racial tension in the early 1970s, Michael Abramson (W'70) shot photos in the Chicago Southside nightclub scene which fueled his career as a successful photographer for numerous national and foreign magazines including Time, Newsweek, BusinessWeek, Forbes and Sports Illustrated. 
Check out more of his photos of Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard here!

"It was me and another one of my friends Laura Kelly. We stopped in front of the upper quad gate and there he is. He was wearing a green shirt and carrying a green purse. (?) After that we walked around to the other side of the quad...in front of Leidy Labs. I was trying to sneak in somehow and a member of the crew saw me. We talked with her for a while and she told us that she saw him do Yoga in the morning. She also said that he's really short in person, but seems nice. We eventually go back to the upper quad gate where we just sit and wait. In that time there were several shots of students with luggage. It looked like they were filming move-in. The crew also brought him a cake for his birthday. After about an hour, he comes out. Surrounded by guards he blazes past us, giving us time for only one picture. As he gets into the car my friend yells, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" He responds, "Thank You." He's really short and tan. His hair looked like it had been dyed."Max's story reminds me of when I was busted in front of Tom Hanks when the film Philadelphia was shot at Penn. Read more here!

I was just checking Google's new "Street View" option for Penn's Spruce Street and was dismayed to see this!

The campus really empties out during winter break...
(For those who haven't been back in a while, you'll notice newly laid bricks on Locust Walk and lights and some sort of heightened fence on the 38th Street bridge)

Although Penn is practically in winter, I found this great photo on Flickr that was taken a few weeks ago which pretty much sums up Fall at Penn. Looking at this photo I remember it was these sorts of days when the weather was about to turn very cold.
With all those leaves, how many more people do you think have tripped over those crooked bricks on Locust?

Just because I went to only a few Penn basketball games during college due to my involvement in Mask and Wig, that didn't mean I wasn't interested in Penn Basketball.Posted by Matt at 1:15 PM 0 comments

"As an outsider to the entertainment industry and to LA, DuelingTampons.com gave me an excellent jumping-off point to start my job search. It enabled me to learn about Penn alums in the entertainment industry and conduct necessary preliminary research. From there I was able to reach out to our incredible alumni network, schedule introductory meetings and phone calls, eventually land an interview, and finally secure an internship at a top Hollywood studio."
