Paul Giamatti, famous for thick rimmed specs and general awesomeness, is coming to Yale on Friday! If you’re in Pierson or the Yale Film Society (or both), your chance to see him is greater than everyone else’s by 0.001%! Well, at least the rest of us can bask in the reflected glory of this Master’s Tea. …
Everything about this show is so exciting to us. The poster rocks. It’s technically part of Sex Week. It’s running two weekends. It’s starring Brennan Caldwell of Grace Kelly/ Sweeney Todd fame and resident stand up champ Yael Zinkow in roles that have them both in drag. And the play itself just sounds so awesome. …
We highly recommend checking out this Davenport Master’s Tea with poet Meghan O’Rourke, today at 4 pm. She’s a Yale alum (BR ’97), poet, and generally wonderful to listen to. Read up first with this interview with her from The Paris Review.
But everything’s fine because there’ll be pizza at the farm tomorrow anyway. Calling all freshmen (and especially listen up, FOOTies) to further up on Whitney Avenue than you ever imagined your four-block-radius-of-downtown-New Haven existence would take you. Volunteer hours start at 1 p.m. and go through 5, stop by or linger like there’s no tomorrow …
The chicken parm sub is the greatest sandwich out there. It is the king of sandwiches. Indisputable fact. I went through most of last year consuming sub-standard parms. It could have been avoided. Here is where to go/avoid if you’re an appreciator of this art form:
1) Wall St. Pizza: Best chicken parm in New Haven. …
Get thee to FroyoWorld, and pick up a free t-shirt in honor of their first year anniversary in the Have. Then wear your t-shirt around, or don’t. Or just go get froyo to celebrate the wonder that is post-Irene weather. I’m not sure New Haven has had this much sunshine in the history of the …
If you’re planning on watching the Royal Wedding tomorrow and also feel like getting your Princess sleep consider skipping the 6am showing on every news channel on earth, because the Yale Center for British art is showing the full program continuously tomorrow starting at 11am. From noon to 2 there will also be “royal tours” …
If you’ve been overwhelmed by the Bulldog Days craziness, come to a master’s tea tomorrow at 4:00 in Saybrook with Margaret Marshall. Marshall is a recently retired Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court who is perhaps best known for writing the opinion in Goodridge v. The Board of Public Health that made Massachusetts the …
Tomorrow, April 7th, foodies interested in urban planning and development can head over to Dwight Hall library at 5:30pm for a chance to hear a discussion with Mark Winne, a “community food activist” who will talk about the difficulties of bringing healthy food to urban areas. His eclectic blog includes topics from international food policy …
The Bullblog highly recommends checking out “Everything At Once,” which goes up tonight in Maya’s Room in Silliman at 7 and has three more shows on Saturday. This musical cabaret is a short and sweet collection of songs, with music and lyrics by Whiff Ben Wexler and busiest-person-alive Mark Sonnenblick respectively. The songs are sure …
Tomorrow, March 31, chef, activist, and author Barton Seaver will talk about his work to save the diverse aquatic life of the planet’s oceans–one delicious meal at a time. Seaver has manned the helm of some of Washington D.C.’s most acclaimed restaurants and he earned Esquire‘s 2009 “Chef of the Year” status from food writer …
If you have a short attention span, a love for South America and/or bros, or just like great theater, then this is the play for you! Written by Zach Fuhrer and with costume designs by the Bullblog’s own beloved EIC Miranda Lewis, Açude tells the story of a fractious family in the arid sertao of …
Lydia Davis, the author of one novel–The End of the Story–and four collections of short fiction will be reading from her work today at 7.00pm in WLH 119. Davis is well known for her super-short stories, some of which are only a few words. Like this one, which was published this summer in The Collected …
Has February and its gifts of piles of dirty snow and endless midterms got you down? Have you not laughed/smiled for weeks? Go to the Purple Crayon show this Saturday at 8pm in the JE Theater. The group promises a “casual” show and “the good ol’ nectar and ambrosia” of improv. It’s probably a surer …
You probably haven’t heard of “Mind Matters,” but they love you. The mental health awareness group is holding a study break tonight in Dwight Hall that appears to be perfect in most ways. The event is called “Chai and Back Rubs,” and the description could be the best thing I’ve ever read: “Join Mind Matters …
Although you may be unaware of this, Yale has another Oscar connection this year besides James Franco. “The Warriors of Qiugang”–a short film co-produced by Yale Environment 360 (e360), the online publication of the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and filmmakers Ruby Yang and Thomas Lennon–is nominated in the category of “Best Documentary: …
Yale BUTANE (or the Yale Bureau for Undergraduate Tradition And Nostalgic Enrichment)–an organization I’ve never heard of–sent out an email today announcing a midnight snowball fight on Old Campus tonight. Considering I had to trudge drunkenly through a BLIZZARD just to get to Toad’s last night and bit it multiple times on the way there, …
Annie has already highlighted one option for on campus entertainment this weekend, but if you’re in the mood for something a bit more rock than rock and roll, Floyd Collins is your jam. This musical, going up tonight through Saturday night at the Whitney, appears to be “127 Hours” meets Chilean miners meets bluegrass. Do …
Over winter break, I realized that I hadn’t attended enough events last semester to brag about all the famous people I met at Yale, so this semester, I decided to keep up with the mostly boring and super pretentious official Yale Calendar of Events. Alongside lectures on “MAMP-Activated Innate Immunity in Plants” and “The Science Behind Ocean Garbage …
The annual fall undergraduate art show is also a highly anticipated event: each art class from last semester is allowed to submit pieces to the show, so everyone is represented. Sculpture is falling over on to paintings and photographs and digital art is projected alongside tables of beautifully designed books and fascinating structures from the …
