Comedy: Fuzzy Dice presents 'Babies'
Has life been getting a bit dull? Is the only laughter you hear on a nightly basis a result of your own feeble attempts to trivialize your lack of plans for the future? If so, get some help, and then head on out to the Fuzzy Dice "Babies" showthis Thursday! Unlike the name suggests, there will (probably) not be any babies, but you will get to see the Fuzzy Dice newbies perform in their first show. This is one night only, so be sure not to miss it!

Concert: The Princeton-Yale Football Concert
We are all gearing up for the gridiron showdown coming this Saturday on Powers Field. However, Friday night under the lights of Richardson Auditorium, a different kind of Tiger and Bulldog collision is going down. There will be a little less leather and a little more lyrics. Not so many first downs but definitely some falsetto. And while there won't be any touchdowns, there will be plenty of tenor sounds. That's right, its the Centennial Football Concert featuring both Princeton and Yale's Glee Clubs. For the 100th consecutive year, the glee clubs will meet on the eve of the football game to sing different choral selections, fight songs and, new this year, a combined performance of a new work by Finnish composer Jaakko Mantyjarvi. Goooooo Tigers!
