Potterpalooza Pictures

Thanks to everyone who came out to Potterpalooza! We had an awsome time and we hope you did too!

Here are some pictures from last night:

Hey! We're On Facebook

Hey guys! Guess who finally saw that little movie about that little website a bunch of crazy kids like to go on and realized that we wanted to do the same!

CCSC'13 has finally joined Facebook, so like our page and keep up-to-date with the latest goings on of your favorite council.

One important reminder highlighted on the CCSC'13 page: only 300 tickets left for Potterpalooza so get your FREE ticket now or no butterbeer for you!

PrezBo on Twitter

OK so, it's not actually President Bollinger's twitter, but it totally should be. @Lee_Bollinger tweets the (fake) inner musings of everyone's favorite University President. Here's a sample of the great stuff that everyone knows he probably thinks of every day:

September 21: Had to reschedule NYFed meeting b4 for gossip girl...obv

October 4: was talkin w/ lawyers about manhattanville stuff and "all i do is win" came up on shuffle - luv ya, itunes!

October 11: confession: I just picked the first amendment because I was too lazy 2 go tru the entire list.

If you're not on Twitter, it's stuff like this that make all those hashtags and at signs worth it. Other Twitter accounts worth checkin' out include:

@whitegrlproblem White Girl with White Girl Problems

"My Dad's raw food chef, my Dad's former best friend's daughter, and my Dad's new girlfriend are the same person."

@JimGaffigan Comedian Jim Gaffigan

"Happy Thanksgiving Canada. Hey when do you guys celebrate Christmas?"

@Broslife Barney Stinson

"A usual Saturday morning for me. Drinking coffee, cleaning my laser tag gun, and reminding everyone how awesome I am."

Potterpalooza Coming Faster than a Snitch on a Windy Day

Yup...That.Just.Happened.

Potterpalooza is almost upon us!!

If you haven't picked up a FREE ticket from the TIC yet, then pick it up today! No Owl is going to swoop in your window with a ticket in its beak.

Potterpalooza will feature Butterbeer and other delicious treats for sophomores courtesy of the Culinary Society. Yeah, that's right sophomores are the VIPs for this event, so take advantage of the VIP section that won't be available again until senior year when we can get free butter-less beer.

We all hope everyone will dress in their associated House colors so here's your guide:

Carman-Slytherin: Green and Black/Gray (or silver)

John Jay-Gryffindor: Red and Yellow (or gold)

The LLC-Ravenclaw: Blue and Brown/Gray (or bronze...but really, who has bronze clothing?)

Furnald-Hufflepuff: Yellow and Black (guess JK Rowling ran out of metallics...)

If you want to take it to the next level of HP Idolatry, participate in our HP Costume Contest also occurring during Potterpalooza. Think you can rock it Snape style? Have the crazy hair needed to pull off an accurate (albeit un-Emma Watson-like) Hermione Granger? Sign up for the Costume Contest by emailing us at cc2013-council@columbia.edu. The winner will receive a kickass HP-inspired prize (maybe a Tri-Wizard Tournament Cup...hmmm, you'll have to participate to find out!).

And, of course, Harry and the Potters will be performing! If you aren't familiar with Harry and the Potters and their songs, including Save Ginny Weasley and Voldemort Can't Stop The Rock!, here's just a taste of what you can expect for Saturday's event.

The Class of 2013 Wants You!

We know that the entire Class of 2013 is awesome, but wouldn't it be nice to be rewarded just for showing how awesome you really are?

CCSC'13 introduces Sophomore Spotlight! Starting this October, CCSC'13 will be rewarding one member of the Class of 2013 each month with a gift card of his or her choosing worth $50.

And what does it take to be in the spotlight? Let us know what makes you or someone you know noteworthy.

Did you teach English to young monks in Tibet?

Did you volunteer at your local animal shelter?

Did you perform with Jay-Z and Eminem at Yankee Stadium?

Did you survive Lit Hum without dropping out?

Nominate yourself or someone you know for this month's Sophomore Spotlight to begin the process towards getting that $50 plastic rectangle of joy.

Send a blurb about what makes you or someone you know gift card-worthy to cc2013-columbia@columbia.edu
