Spring Weekend - Kevin Lyttle and T.I. Concerts
The final day of Spring Weekend, last Sunday, included concerts from Kevin Lyttle and T.I. Trinity's previous concerts have included Ludacris, Fabolous, Mos Def, and Talib Kweli. I'm not complaining at all because I've enjoyed all the concerts, I just think it's interesting that Trinity (America's preppiest college) has had almost exclusively rappers and R&B artists for our concerts.
Anyway, Kevin Lyttle performed first:
I liked the faces this guy was making:
Brent loved it:
Brent and Me:
Kevin Lyttle Video:
More and more people started pouring in:
The combination of stampeding herds of drunk people and spilled beer made the ground absolutely disgusting:
Brent and I secured our position on this wire-covering island:
We're so smart.
While we waited for T.I. to come on after Kevin Lyttle left, I decided to have a "best head-wear" competition. You decide:
Team Heidi (Heidi v. Lauren from "The Hills"):
Green Sombrero:
Piñata:
Afro Wig:
Some guy running off with Kara:
Tom and Garner getting ready for T.I. to come out:
T.I.:
I was surprised at how many random friends of ours got caught in my attempts at taking un-zoomed pictures of the concert (I'm short... it's hard) so I decided to put them up anyway even though you can't see much. Here's Chris, Tom, and Garner:
That's Ben on the left:
Hexx stopped by to say hi (with the shirt on his head):
A different Chris:
Simba sitting on someone's shoulders:
Brent and Me (why does he always look so grumpy?):
More T.I.:
Some member of his posse:
T.I. then performed his song "Get Loose" and, foolishly, instructed all the girls to "get loose." A sea of Lilly Pulitzer-clad blondes have no concept of "getting loose" so when we failed miserably this girl got up on stage and took her top off, exposing her out of control boobs to the entire audience's terror and dismay. No topless pictures though, sorry:
T.I. performed a lot of songs I recognized like "Bring 'Em Out," "What You Know" and Justin Timberlake's "My Love" that featured T.I. He asked all the "baddest bitches on campus" (obviously including myself) to sing the Justin Timberlake part, and of course we did. You'll see all this in the...
T.I. Video Montage:
It was lots of fun and now I have a ton of studying to do for my upcoming exams. Wish me luck!

I liked the transitions on the TI video. Does he know his pants are falling down?

Yes, I think he knows...

I don't think it's weird that Trinity had rappers for Spring weekend. White kids in the suburbs buy all the rap albums anyway. I wonder if that means Avril Lavigne plays concerts at Howard.
Oh and you have to read this article from the NY Times. I sent this to everyone! Read the quote near the bottom by the Brazilain guy:
