What did folks think of today's hip-hop show?

It was very cool to see several of you at today's hip-hop show (featuring Me and U Crew, Kanser, and The Crest). What did people think of the show?

People sometimes whine that there's nothing happening in Morris, but that's really just a sign that they're not paying attention. There's actually way more events going on in town that we ever have time for, and the pile of stuff organized for this weekend is a good example. (I don't know how I'm going to get any of my stuff done in and amongst all these events :->!)

But these things only happen if people show up, so I strongly encourage you to try to attend at least a few campus events a week. Feel free to use this blog (which you now have permission to post to) to plug or discuss events, especially if they're related to the course in some way. You're also encouraged to then use your personal blog to reflect on events that you've attended.

People sometimes worry that they're going to "abuse" the system in some way, but my experience is that people are too cautious rather than too aggressive. I promise I'll tell you if I think that you're overusing the blog (or hear from others that they feel that way). One way to think of it is "Does this post only really work/make sense if most of the class sees it?". If the answer to that is "Yes", then post it here. If the answer is "No", then you might want to think about posting it on your blog.

Some places to find out about events include the UMM events page (which, sadly, is ugly and awkward, but does work and contains lots of good information), the whiteboard in the Student Center by the Info Desk, and the events e-mails that they send everyone each week. Find something you like, grab a friend, and go!
