Turn Up The Lights In Here Baby

[Post title refers to: Kanye West "All Of The Lights"]


What's good! First post from Bruin! Sorry for the delay--the weekend has been nuts and it is only Saturday afternoon!

A couple updates:
The mixer was great. The teams met in the lobby around 9pm to be bussed over to the venue in Century City. Everyone was suited and booted and looking foine. Despite some difficulties with the venue, the Bruin Committee pulled through and delivered a good time. The DJs were great (a wonderful mix of hip hop and bhangra) and teams actually stayed and hung out! The food was good and, as promised, those plastic plates really made a difference.

I tried interviewing a couple people while there and am including the interviews below! Thanks to everyone for putting up with me asking the same questions over and over and over again. And sorry the little thumb print thing below is like the worst close up ever for each of you. And me. For all of us, really.

Today most teams are practicing and getting ready for the show. SMD was nice enough to let me in to their practice. A short clip of them practicing below. The video is mad short and really shaky. Oops.  It was so awesome seeing them run through. Their mix is dope, the choreo is fun and the formation changes are going to be ridic-u-lous. Watch out, Bruin.

Speaking of the ladies of SMD, I am writing this post by the hotel pool while they are all playing marco polo. Actually, I just looked up and they are all holding hands making some formation in the pool saying cheese (right after they sang the California Girls song). They have definitely taken the fun level of this pool up a couple notches.

Hopefully will have some more updates later tonight!
