It's a Fabolous Life

Well, a week from today is another concert, and you know what that means: Promotions! This concert is for Fabolous, Trey Songz, and Mario- 3 great hip-hop artists. They're not huge right now, but Mario had a hit of the summer, and all 3 will be bigger soon enough. Personally I found Fabolous to be an absolute genius, and am quite happy to have him coming here.

Fabolous is more
Than clever enough to be
A comedian


It's true. I'm glad he's not though. But take a look at some of his lines:


"The same thing that the bank robber told the teller, just throw it in the bag"

"My attitude is celibate, I don't give a f---"

"I'm Tinman, heartless"

"We hit Miami like a hurricane"


There's a couple more very clever lines, but I deemed them in bad taste and have refrained from posting them. Buy your tickets now! Also, if you want to see Maroon 5, I'd recommend getting tickets ASAP as they are expected to sell out tomorrow.

That is all.

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:
