SLOPE DAY 2005
This is Elliott Bäck bringing you the first Slope Day 2005 reports, hot of east-side cornell. The music this year was Starting Line, followed by The Game, and finally Snoop Dogg, who took the stage more than 20 minutes later than planned. There was also plenty of beer, free food, police officers, and EMS life savers for the totally inebriated. Check out these pix:
Get yourself a clown-made balloon animal…
… as well as some correct-looking airbrushed tattoos
The slope was packed and very crowded…
… with a big stage surrounded by people …
… but that didn’t stop students from bringing their grandparents to see Snoop Dogg!
When Snoop Dogg says “put your hands in the air,” you put ‘em up. Blocking the shot.
I couldn’t get close enough to the stage for any great Snoop Dogg pictures, but it was ok. The concerts were too loud to really enjoy anyway–you had to just be there for the whole ambiance and have fun in the afternoon!
Snoop Dogg to Perform Slope Day
Rapper Calvin Broadus, also known as Snoop Dogg is scheduled to perform on Slop Day this may, along with rising star The Game.
Some discussion about the appropriateness of bringing Snoop to visit Cornell, cross cultural expression, and cost ensued, but in the end Snoop bore through. Apparently the man himself is very interested in coming here. Tickets go on sale April 20, for $25 each.
