Halloween Downtown
Oct. 30, 2011—This weekend, a friend had a few visitors from out of town to show around. While we did spend a lot of time introducing these people to Vanderbilt and student life here, we decided to go exploring downtown Saturday night and see all the Halloween festivities downtown.
The Avett Brothers Concert
Oct. 29, 2011—Last night I went to see one of my new favorite bands, The Avett Brothers, in concert downtown. The best part is, not only did I get to see them live, but I was actually required to see this concert for a class! One of the assignments for my History of Country Music is that...
Alumni Reunion
Oct. 29, 2011—Last weekend was homecoming here at Vandy.

Class With A Living Legend
Oct. 19, 2011—Every Wednesday at 7:10 I join 99 other incredibly lucky Vanderbilt students and spend the next two and a half hours with a living legend, Professor Jim Foglesong. The class, Business of Music, meets once a week, and could not be taught by somebody more qualified or more distinguished. At the young age of 89,...
Home for the Weekend: Lotus Festival
Oct. 5, 2011—This weekend marked my first and only trip back home (the wonderful Bloomington, IN) until the end of the semester. And what a great weekend it was: international music, dancing, and home-cooked meals! Oh my!
Soundland 2011
Sep. 24, 2011—One of my biggest regrets from last year was not breaking the “Vanderbubble” enough and, specifically, not seeing many concerts.
