What a weekend it was here at Miami University! Actually, to be more specific, what a Saturday it was. Two major events went down and you'd have to be a sucker to miss these gems!
At 6:00pm Saturday afternoon at Uptown Park, the creator of Family Guy Seth MacFarlane came to speak to a crowd of flaming liberals, courtesy of the College Democrats. Shortly after Seth MacFarlane's little event would finish, Jay Leno would be getting on stage for his Family Weekend Set.
So what do I have to report to you about the Mr. MacFarlane and Leno's visit? Absolutely nothing. Why? Because I went to Yager Stadium to cheer on our already floundering Pop-Warner football team against Temple. Yes, Temple, the team a few years back that was always on ESPN.com's bottom 5.
After watching Temple score what would end up being their game winning touchdowns, I decided enough was enough and that I'd go grab some grub. Of course I had forgotten about MacFarlane's visit and I got their just in time to see a College Democrat leading the modest mob in a "Yes We Can!" chant, while MacFarlane stood on the side lines cheering along. So i really can't tell you all how it went. If you're a Miami student, though, feel free to comment since I was too busy watching a team that might not even give the Little Giants a game.
And how was Leno, you ask? Well I didn't go, but my reasoning is a bit better. First of all, as Homer Simpson put it so eloquently at the beginning of The Simpsons Movie, you'd have to be an idiot to pay - especially the $40 it cost! - to see something you can watch for free on TV. So what were the reviews I heard? I heard that Leno is apparently better on TV (assuming you even like him in the first place) and he only had a few good jokes. Sounds like the parents that actually came down for Family Weekend got snubbed.
Luckily for me I chose to watch the Ohio State game with my friends instead of paying a ridiculous FORTY BUCKS to see Leno. At least I could cheer for an Ohio team that can win a damn ball game.
So feel free to berate me all you want for my in ability to pick the rights events to attend, but remember tonight to go to the Election 2008 lecture with Larry Wilmore. Tomorrow I'll write you all an amazing review of the event followed by my opinion on Tuesday night's debate to be featured on Wednesday.
