MayFest is Alive! It’s Alive!

In an 11th hour decision, SU has channeled it’s inner Lloyd Christmas.

Jim Commentucci / The Post-Standard

Orange Nation was hoping to rejoice for two more weeks this basketball season. But with the early exit of the ‘Cuse, heads on campus have hung low, faces have looked sullen since the Butler Catastrophe.

Yet, in an 11th hour decision not unlike healthcare reform, SU has channeled it’s inner Lloyd Christmas.

“Just when I thought you couldn’t do anything dumber, you go and do something like this… and totally redeem yourself.”

The most popular day of the calendar year to get publicly wasted at Syracuse University has been reinstated!

Originally, the day off was meant for academic reasons. However, SU students know better, and turned it into an excuse to hit Euclid for a day of drinking.

Well, Chancy Nancy and the rest didn’t quite like that, so they canned it, repackaged it as “SU Showcase,” and took the freebie away.
Viva la return! The University is actually going to provide beer for students over the age of 21, and has set it for April 30th (not quite May, but hey, mere semantics).

It’s being billed as an afternoon picnic at Walnut Park, but that’s just for University purposes. In a land where upperclassmen rule the day on hosting, and the “Back to Euclid” movement will be in full swing leading up to the event.
In fact, within three hours of the D.O’s distribution of the news, I got this Facebook request:¬†“You’re invited to “MAYFEST – Walnut Park can suck my balls, I’m getting wasted on EUCLID!!!!!” on Friday, April 30 at 10:00am.”

Fizz headquarters will surely be bumpin’ on this day (with the Drake concert in unison).¬†Between a roommate who blows his tuition refund checks on 30-racks and another (Couzens) who is the GM of a top-40 radio station, the smell of Fizziness is in the air.
It may not completely redeem the board for keeping Groobers around an extra season to reduce his buyout, but let the healing begin.

    Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. Nevertheless think of if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this site could certainly be one of the best in its niche. Amazing blog!

    Hey there excellent website! Does running a blog like this take a lot of work? I’ve very little expertise in coding however I had been hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyways, if you have any ideas or techniques for new blog owners please share. I understand this is off topic however I just wanted to ask. Appreciate it!

    Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    Do you have a spam issue on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was curious about your situation; many of us have created some nice procedures and we are looking to trade techniques with other folks, be sure to shoot me an email if interested.

    Does your website have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an e-mail. I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.

    Heya just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my
    own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a
    pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive.
    Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

    Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for inexperienced blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

    Greetings! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to fix this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. Appreciate it!

    Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say that you’ve done a excellent job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very quick for me on Internet explorer. Outstanding Blog!

    Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

    Hey, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!

    Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Kudos

    When you declare war on journalists and the journalism profession, it shows the contempt you have for the people who put food on your table. Linus, your salary of Sh2.5 million comes from these people you have no respect for. Any media house, NMG included, is driven by what journalists write. NMG would not be what it is today were it not for us. Instead of appreciating the contribution we have made – we daily put our lives on the line to bring food to your table and other managers who have also shown contempt for us – you opted to rubbish the foot soldiers who are your pillars in the high office.

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any ways to help stop content from being ripped off? I’d truly appreciate it.
