BAM/PFA is a kool thing. Those of you who, 19 years after the unofficial “k” shift, are still spelling “cool” like your parents, well, you might as well just stop reading now. Not only was the Bancroft museum purposely built to house tall, well-dressed people who thrive amidst the color gray, but apparently music sounds sounds good there too. Hence, the launch of Friday L@te Nights at BAM, which will include booze, music, artsy guests and kultural stimulation of all sorts. The events below: read more »

A weird foursome: could it be that teenagers prone to depression sleep less and use the internet more, resulting in worse depression and tossing them into a real nasty sleep minimizing, internet and depression maximizing situation? Of course we, sound and sturdy early twenty-somethings that we are, are far beyond silly adolescent things like all-nighters, depression and the internet. But hey, how ’bout our soft minded kid brothers and sisters? Yet another psych study gets underway: read more »

As we all know, graduate school and money go together well with sobbing and devastation. Ahem. In the spirit of other means of expression working out a whole lot better than the verbal variety, the Dorothea Lange photo fellowship offers a $4,000 prize and wild notoriety. For the photographically inclined, keep in mind the Nov. 30 due date and Nov. 3 workshop! See if you meet the criteria: read more »

When you’re shattering a bottle of Mickey’s against the far wall of Cloyne Court’s courtyard this weekend (or any weekend!) keep in mind that this wall is shared by a now 5 million dollars more prestigious Goldman School of Public Policy. Richard and Rhoda, your names will remain in letters.
The extra funds will allow the Goldman School to grow and develop read more »

V(w)hat, so you think this is a profession now? It seems somebody has taken the life pursuit of so many Brooklyn-raised bubbies and established it with this name: deli researcher. And the best one is coming to Berkeley’s own Saul’s Deli! Get your pastrami on this Saturday. Details below: read more »

If you’ve made it this far and have never sung along to the “Sweater Song” in the hazy backseat of a high-school-someone’s car, haven’t yet scornfully dismissed all of their albums since Pinkerton, or can’t recall Spike Jonze’s breakthrough music video, then f*ck, you really slipped through the cracks. Please get your Weezer on this Wednesday, real free, at the Regency. Hey, maybe they’ll even cover Lady Gaga. Details below: read more »

After discovering the latest omen of the world’s coming demise, the Clog encourages Berkeley students to put down their books and enjoy their short-lived time on Earth.
Burn rabbit fuel.
In a move that mid 19th century surrealist novelists would think long and hard about before including in their conception of near-future dystopia, Sweden is burning rabbits as fuel to heat suburban homes. Don’t fret; they’re slaughtered first, real humane. Look: it’s nippy outside, hella rabbits, rabbit corpses make for good biofuel. Don’t call it practical.

Nobody takes away our libraries. Budget cuts flung the Cal student body into nerdtacular diaspora, and we responded like the pack of (amphetamine raddled) bears ousted from our cave that, indeed, we were. There was confusion; we sat in; most effectively, we phoned mom and dad.
By mid November, read more »

Damn, it would have been real pathetic to see Doe and Moffitt libraries empty during the wee morning hours of finals week – no procrastinators, amphetamine jockeys or Berkeley students studious enough to earn those sterile depths the reverence they deserve. Rocked by this awful thought, some generous parents came through where the state of California could not, throwing down hella bank to keep those caverns (and the Free Speech Movement Cafe) open when they’re needed most. Clutch, Mr. & Mrs. Steiny. read more »

It’s OK, everyone: you can go to Oakland during twilight again. When the city extended parking meter enforcement until 8 p.m. and raised the rates a few months ago, they probably weren’t expecting a backlash of indignant fury that would ultimately succeed in clawing the despised policy out of existence and aborting similar propositions in Berkeley and San Francisco. Bad ass, Oakland. But beware, the tyrannical meter maid’s ghost lingers in the form of read more »
