A Day on College Hill....

[adamkidabra]

So in the summerly tradition of Adam-catching-up-with-way-old-picture-posts, I present to you selections from ADOCH, Brown's accepted students days.  In the middle of April, Brown invited all accepted students up for a couple of days in the middle of the week.  They had several cars on an Amtrak train reserved, travelling from Washington to Boston

i love the pictures! They are very nice and remind me of that wonderful evening.

OH! and I'm in the last pirate picture! I'm the one on the middleish left with the orange shirt who is sort of patting her head. yup.

Heeey, I only uploaded ADOCH pics today as well!

I'm so glad you took a picture of the Brown Derbies, because I didn't have my camera handy at that point, so I wasn't able to get a pic of them greeting us... Yay; thank you!

[adamkidabra]

I have even MORE derbies pics that I didn't bother to post if you want 'em. Plus stuff from the 'wocks, bears, and ARRR. Oh, and I took the liberty of modifying your comment on the link you provided by just posting all the pics in one comment. I don't know if that makes it more helpful or more annoying... oh well.

[adamkidabra]

advbenture?

I left Wayland Arch just before Ursa Minor performed. Now I'm kinda sad that I missed the pirates.

And where have you been getting the a capella groups' music? I can't find it anywhere online.

[adamkidabra]

Well for one, try spelling "a cappella" with two Ps... haha :P

I don't download anymore, but when I did, I found that a great bunch of music is mislabeled. Most a cappella pieces on Kazaa are haphazardly labeled "Rockapella" or "Brown Derbies." In fact, on the Derbies website (it seems to be experiencing some difficulty though...), on their list of current and past repertoires, they have another list of songs that they've never sung, to debunk any mislabelings.

I've bought a few a cappella CDs, but for the stuff that I downloaded a few years ago, I just searched each one on collegiate a cappella websites, and relabeled them to give the proper credit to the proper group. I have about 275 unique tracks of a cappella on my mp3 player, so if you name a song, I probably have it. Expect that number to go way up when I gain access to Brown's media libraries.

I'm impressed. I'll have to myTunes Redux you when we get on campus.
