Hey guys, Webmaster Bill here to give a brief update on what is increasingly looking to be an amazing semester in SOMistory. Having completed our second general meeting tonight, we are at what seems to be a grand peak of interest in the club and activities! All of the officers were ecstatic with the amount of suggestions, if we can get the ball rolling on even half of these ideas this year we just may become the biggest thing in this institution called Penn State, I’m talking football big! While that may be a painfully overly exxagerated statement, we are psyched with the current state of things nonetheless. To give you an idea on what you can expect, I will mention a few of the consistently mentioned ideas so as to set them in this stone we call the internet.
First of all, following the tremendous success of the “Find Your So’mate Date Auction” last year we are determined to have it yet again. While it may not happen this semester it will definitely happen next one, depending on whether it is decided that it should be yearly or monthly. This naturally leads us into the ever popular Open Mic Nights. They will be held in the West Commons Study Lounge as they were last year. We have the first one set for October 7th so if you wish to show off any sort of talent we more than welcome you. While we traditionally see acoustic guitar/singing acts, we want it to be known that we welcome all forms of talent, whether it be juggling, stand-up comedy, spoken-word, poetry or something really cool that know one has ever heard of.
Another thing in serious consideration is a Halloween event. While we are still toying around with ideas for what to do, we are set on making something happen here, whether it be a show, movie or anything else creative. Keep looking back to see what the final decision is. A great new idea that has already been implemented by our Hobo Jim (I believe that’s his title at the moment, it changes every 2 weeks) Alex is New Music Days where we all gather together at Chronic Town (the hookah lounge downtown) and listen to a new album released that week. Currently this seems like it will be a weekly Wednesday event but there are still kinks being worked out. Lastly, due to popular demand, we are planning on bringing back the MP3 Experiment this fall.
As I said before, this is a mere sampling of the endless ideas that have been concieved for this semester and I will have more updates on these and any other events that see themselves come to fruition when more information becomes available. We are open to anyone that wishes to help any way so if you do or just have any questions or other suggestions/ideas please email me or any of the other officers, or you could let us know at the general meetings we have the first and third Wednesday of every month. On that note I believe I have delayed from doing my homework for as long as possible and am sorry I can not further help you do the same with this post. I hope to see you all at the many exciting events I mentioned above!
