White and Nerdy at Towson

So, after some Tigerfest talk in the office the other day, I started a Facebook group to get a real musical icon, Weird Al Yankovic, to the annual drunken musical mess that is Tigerfest. Out of the three Tigerfests I’ve been to in my time at Towson, only one headliner (The Roots) has been worthwhile. Here’s the Campus Activity Board’s chance to go 2 for 4. In just a couple of days, 141 people have decided they agree enough with me to join the group. Rock on.

Hope Rides Alone To Baltimore

I would have been at Ignite Baltimore last night, but it was their idea to be the same day as The Protomen playing at Metro Gallery. Sucks to be Ignite Baltimore, but when The Protomen are in town, I have no choice but to go.

The Protomen, who played last night with Rah! Rah! Replica and …soihadto… (you may recognize their frontman), are a Nashville-based Megaman rock opera group. Epic win, they are. They come through Baltimore pretty often, usually with Bit Gen or Super Art Fight nearby.

The latter was the case last night, as Jami Noguchi and Nick Borkowicz were off to the side, doing their thing.

Pictures? You bet I haz them. Of all people to be there, my photojournalism professor was hanging out and gave me some tips. Some of these photos turned out awesomely.

Towson Marching Band playing Cowboy Bebop

I had promised fandom friends in the past that I’d post this. This is Towson’s marching band performing Yoko Kanno’s “Tank!” at the homecoming game today. I’d go so far to say that the band is really the best reason to go to Towson’s football games, because watching Towson get whomped isn’t very exciting.
