Tributes

Cool hand Luke
Newman's performance in the 1967 film Cool Hand Luke inspired the Newman's Day tradition. In Cool Hand Luke, Newman's character proves his titular "cool" status when he wins a bet that he can he eat 50 hardboiled eggs in the span of an hour. Unsurprisingly, Princeton students were not thrilled by the prospect of a day devoted to eating hardboiled eggs from dawn to dusk, so they liberally adapted this feat to the much more appealing challenge of consuming massive amounts of beer, following another Newman’s acts (great line!), “24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.”

Night of a 1000 Stevies
I just couldn’t believe what my eyes were witnessing; one thousand freaks dressed like Stevie Nicks recreating her gypsy deep American clothing style. For the ones that don’t remember, she was one of the female singers of Fleetwood Mac back in the 70s and probably the most responsible for the major hits of the band at the time. Click here if you’re really gutsy! Rhiaaaannnnonnnnn.

Musical Boxes
Just leaving to Brussels this weekend to see this tribute band, they cover the Genesis experience in an overwhelming assortment of sound and images, not letting anyone disappointed after the show; after all, we waited 30 years to see this.

Hope you all have a nice weekend.
