Guess who has eight tentacles and is live-tweeting Comfest this weekend? THIS OCTOPUS
"Sophomoric Humor? Bring It On!" - NEW YORK TIMES
THE campus apartment shared by the Skidmore College students Lex Curry, 21, and Ruth Morrison, 21, has been the scene of chaos for the past few months, and not in typical party-recuperate-party fashion. The living room has morphed into an ad hoc headquarters, littered with paperwork and laptops. With urgent logistical matters to sort out, Ms. Curry and Ms. Morrison’s bedroom privacy has evaporated. Scott Galante, 22, who lives down the hall, drops by constantly to talk scheduling. Ms. Morrison calls this ComFest Fortress, and said, “Hangout time turns into meetings, and meetings always end in hangout time.”
“I say, Madame Jellywick! I do believe Comfest is rapidly approaching. Fetch me my finest fish monocle.”
COMFEST IS COMING
“It’s approaching– that time of the year when it’s suddenly clear to me why I’m even at Skidmore in the first place.”
