Earlier today, we were wandering around campus when we inadvertently stumbled upon the Campaign for Berkeley’s kick-off music festival and picnic. Oddly enough, we had no idea it was happening.
The only things that actually tipped us off to the shameless pandering going on were the fact that Chancellor Birgeneau was sitting right there, and a few of those mildly horrible “inspirational” banners greeted us–from ground level. They were totally all up in our grills.
The music wasn’t bad, we guess, for some relatively obscure acts. Apparently, The Wronglers are kind of well-known, though. Anyway, we didn’t stay long, seeing as how the scene was hardly bumpin’. We’ll admit we were almost persuaded to stay by the $3 Berkeley Thai House booth by the Campanile … except we weren’t.
