Being a student at a university known for its football and beer, a.k.a. Penn State, can surprisingly have its perks: sometimes we get free shows featuring semi-decent artists. Well, this past December, right before finals week, Girl Talk graced Happy Valley with his presence -- FO FREE. It was all very exciting until I entered the auditorium and saw that Gregg Gillis had to perform with the lights on, and that there was a shit load of people in a small-ass room. By the end of the night, apparently things got destroyed -- like a magazine rack -- and now the school is pissed off! God only knows who will be booked at the next free concert -- Maroon 5? (Actually that would be pretty sweet... but that is beside the point.)
Luckily, Girl Talk is touring right now, so I have another chance to see him with the lights off. Too bad I will have to pay this time, but I guess you could consider my overpriced tuition as payment for that Girl Talk show and for fixing the magazine rack. Sure wish his shows were pay-what-you-want, too
