After quite an eventful Little 500 week/weekend (a.k.a The Greatest College Weekend), it seems as if Bloomington, Indiana made a significant amount of money.  The money I am talking about wasn’t made off of concert tickets or liquor sales…this money was straight CASH from TICKETS!

One word.  Two syllables.  DAYGLOW.  Before I explain what DayGlow actually is, let me first express how COOL it is - no matter how much I describe it, nothing will compare to being their live.  On Wednesday, April 22nd (during Little 500 week) at Jakes Nightclub in Bloomington, Indiana, DayGlow invades Bloomington.  DayGlow has brought their [...]

Sometimes, balancing school work and a social life is quite a difficult task.  As tests begin to kick up again, its really hard to be in the library while most people are out enjoying the beautiful weather and partying.  Being able to distinguish between study/work time and party time is an invaluable attribute.  A few [...]
