Hello there boys and girls, after much delay I have been able to compound the excitement and and planning going on to make a new post about a lovely little thing called SOMA!  Due to rather loose and uncertain circumstances I did not feel it was appropriate to provide an ending post to last semester, but now we have enough information and closure to speak up on the topic.  As I am sure most of you know, after much hard work and dedication on the parts of our president and vice president Tim Knapton and Danny Michelson we were able to put on quite possibly the biggest show in the history of the Hub by hosting mash-up artist Girl Talk to play Alumni Hall.  While admittedly there were some aspects of the show that did not go to plan, it is our determination that majority of the people there seemed to have a good time and we therefore feel this show qualified as a success.  Unfortunately through lack of experience we were unable to forsee some of the crowd response prior to the show and were rather dissappointed by some of the actions that took place in line.  As I said Tim and Danny worked harder than anyone knows to make it happen and this included not knowing for sure it would until 2 days prior to the event.  We also would like to issue a big apology to everyone that came to the show and were unable to get in.  Like I said we simply wanted to put on a show that we knew would satisfy a large crowd and did not anticipate a humongous crowd.  Luckily we now can take this experience and adapt it towards future events to help better create shows and activities that will satisfy everyone that wishes to take part.  This story does have a happy ending though, it has officially been declared that SOMA is not in trouble and that we will merely have to cover the damages to the Hub which we took full responsibility for in the first place.  We hope this will lead to an increased interest in the club and plan on using that interest to snowball into our future.

Now onto this semester.  Like I said this post has been slightly delayed by the wait for the results of Girl Talk show and therefore we have gotten well into this semester’s activities.  As usual the spring semester is absolutely humongous for us with the continuation of our annual events Arts Crawl and Synthesis.  Both of these events are being planned and collaborated on more and more each day and we are confident both products will live up to the quality of their yearly traditions.  We as well have an event we plan on turning into an annual occurrence coming up with the second Search for your So’mate happening February 10th!   We feel this is the perfect fundraiser for our club as it combines our amazing monthly occasions of open mic nights as well as possibly winning a date with one of the wonderful people within our club.   On that note this semester is being planned out more and more each day and we hope to see all of you that wish to participate throughout it.  On that note, homework is calling and I hope to see all of as much as possible.  Webmaster Bill out!
