Promotion Series 1: Bo Burnham

As some of you may know, I am on the Concert Commission and Program Board here at Cornell. They are in charge of bringing musicians, lecturers, comedians, and speakers in general here (the CCC for the music, the CUPB for the rest). Occasionally, as it draws nearer and nearer to a show, I will donate a post to the promotion of a show. Today will be the first of such a series. The artist to be promoted: Bo Burnham. First, a haiku:

An ode to Bo, yo,
Who is so offensive that
One can't help but laugh

If you don't know of him, go search for him on youtube. He is absolutely hilarious. Sure, most of his stuff is in bad taste, but the general reaction is laughing out loud followed by a remark like "wow, that's horrible, and I'm a horrible person for laughing at that." Don't worry, that's only mostly true.

But in any case, Bo Burnham is coming to Cornell's Bailey Hall a week from now on Monday, September 21st at 8:00 PM. Tickets are on sale and have been for a while. They're only 5 bucks for students and I think 7 for general public. Buy them online at cornellconcerts.com. You can charge the tickets to your bursar account (they'll never know) or with a credit card. Tickets are general admission, so don't worry about buying in a group.

This promotion wasn't especially funny, so here's a lawlcat:
