the 2009 NYU Strawberry Festival (Golden Triangle, Motel Motel, White Rabbits, etc) - pics
photos by Lauren Monaco
"Instead of having some form of a spring weekend like a lot of schools, NYU instead holds an event every year that has us celebrating... well, umm, strawberries.The bands were White Rabbits, Motel Motel, Golden Triangle, Teengirl Fantasy, and We Are The Arm. More pictures from Friday's fest below...Maybe us hipsters should count our blessings. My friends at Penn State got a performance from Asher Roth. Coincidentally, my friends from Penn State generally enjoy college, drinking, women, and college. On second thought, it was a perfect fit.
Anyway, for the past 25 years or so, NYU has picked out a spring day, sectioned off a block or so, closed it off from traffic, and relentlessly force-fed unsuspecting students with several tons of strawberries. It's an experience, if only to check out/devour "NYC's Largest Strawberry Shortcake."
For the first time this year, however, they decided to have a concert with it, and booked five bands to play."

What is wrong with "drinking, women, and college"??? You act like that's a bad thing.

First off, it's kind of awesome that whoever wrote this cited our tiny little blog, so, thanks. I guess I've been borrowing photos from here for a while, and it's kind of cool that they returned the favor.
Secondly, guys, I have no problem with college, drinking, or women. In fact, I enjoy all of those things a lot. I just hate Asher Roth.
