Later in the concert the band reverted even farther back, playing "Seventy Times Seven" and "Jude Law and a Semester Abroad" from Your Favorite Weapon. Only at the end did they play songs from Daisy. From above the main floor, on the balcony, the crowd appeared insane. People threw themselves on top of each other, and the many security agents lining the theater were unable to snag all of the fans jumping on to the stage and back into the crowd. After the concert, everybody was drenched in sweat and radiating glee. I can't image any music fan, Brand New affiliated or otherwise, not enjoying the show. The Robbers and the Sainthood Reps, both from Long Island, NY, opened for Brand New. When the Robbers went on, a large crowd had already formed and by the time Sainthood Reps started, the venue was nearly full. The Sainthood Reps especially riled up the crowd, jumping around on stage in response to the mosh pit happening a few feet away.

"Half-Empty" by Aryan Azizian

So you somehow never got around to picking up your bus pass the first few weeks of school and now, you can't seem to find one of those big white tents to pick your pass up at. No one you ask really seems to know where to direct you, and all you want to know is "Where can I finally get my buss pass?" Adam Molina, Peer Advisor for Student Leadership and Engagement, has the answer you're looking for: "Previously, SLE was in charge of passing out the bus passes, but now Public Safety is in charge of that. The Public Safety office is located outside of the UC building, next to Parina Lounge; you go in and ask them and they'll get you your sticker."

"Ooh! Ooh! There's a spot!"
