"Who are they?" College freshman Elizabeth Jefferson asked. "I've never heard of them."
Wharton junior Lloyd Thomas said he feels "disappointed," especially considering what some other schools have performing this year.
For example, Snoop Dogg will be headlining Cornell's Slope Day concert and Ben Folds will be playing at Brown's Spring Weekend.
"I think we deserve a bigger name," Thomas said.
hahahahahaha

You're all dumbasses. In 1995, Violent Femmes performed and they were the last good band to perform. I went to Penn 1996-2000 and THERE WERE NO GOOD ACTS. One year the headliner was Maceo Parker, who the f is he? Sonic Youth is a band that was bigger than NIRVANA in the late 80s and a band that KURT COBAIN HAD RESPECT FOR. I know you kids are young but YOU NEED TO GO SEE SONIC YOUTH. THEY ARE AN AMAZING BAND. Take it from an old timer like me, go see sonic youth... a band that preceded the early 90s grunge era.

and just so you know, people don't make fun of Penn kids for their pseudo-intellectualism. they make fun of them because they think ivy-leaguers are rich, spoiled brats. which this interesting sentiment, "We deserve better" seems to reflect nicely. maybe Mommy and Daddy can get Jimmy Eat World to play your birthday party, hon. then you won't have to be such a sad little raincloud.

with only 30K remaining in their budget, they still need to construct a full stage & rent a sound system, set up fencing and all security related issues. the cost of the stage is probably going to eat up the remaining part of that money, so in order to pay for everything else, they need to use ticket sales. and i wouldnt be surprised if the bands receive a percentage of ticket sales in addition to their guarantees.
i am going to guess that the entire thing will cost in the realm of 100-125K to put on. let's hope about 2,800 students decide to attend this thing in order for them to break even.

"SPEC Concerts could learn a lot from SPEC Connaissance -- which recently announced Martin Sheen will be speaking at Penn -- about what appeals to students "
so what they could learn is that students like old people, except when they're musicians?

penn kids ARE spoiled, but then again most ivy league folks are. i mean, you dont pay all that money for an education, its for the privilege.
Spoon played at Rice my senior year, way back when in '97. I enjoyed the show and the copy of the Soft Effects EP that I picked up afterwards, but the band kinda dropped off my radar for a few years after that.
you're a funny one.

thing is, the last time i saw SY was when they opened for Wilco at Philly's Festival Pier. there were about 5,000 or so people in attendance, and it was a dead silence throughout SY's set - and they were amazing, not that really anyone noticed!
i guess any FAP plans will be in the Univ. City area, and i'm not all that familiar - it's generally too far west for me. you're from baltimore, right? email me and we'll figure out where you're meeting maria and go from there.

no, richard-san. i think it's a fascinating sociology capstone project to subject sonic youth to penn undergraduates. i for one am thrilled. throw open the laboratory doors!
i wish they published actual numbers of tickets sold. i'd like to see sonic youth with like 40 other people.

my school too.
Canadian schools just ain't got the cash. i'm shocked at some of what i've seen upthread. the reactions from the Penn State kids is just one more reason to hate the Ivy League. I guess in their defence, the freshmen would have only been 3 years old when SY signed to Geffen, but that's still no excuse!
