Looks like Noch’s just might have some competition.

yum.

Well, not really. But these food deals will certainly lessen the pain!

- ON CAMPUS -

Brought to us by the Common Spaces Committee. Odd name? Maybe. But it’s still free food!

Wednesday: KETTLE CORN from 12:30pm-3:00pm outside Lehman Hall (the ART is also presenting a preview of a new play, Johnny Baseball, at 12:30pm). It’s like killing two birds with one stone! You can pretend to look artsy while devouring your free corn.

Thursday: KLONDIKE BARS from 2:00pm-3:00pm at the Gazebo outside Grays Hall. Bonus: A prime view of the colorful chairs and newly installed Wetu nearby in the Old Yard.

- OFF CAMPUS -

Between May 7 and May 16, head over to any Starbucks store between 3 and 5 p.m. and get a Frappuccino blended beverage at half price!

Happy eating and drinking! Just don’t put the blame on us after you step on that weighing scale.

Enough to get even Sarah excited.

We swear it’s not a myth! The seminar, that is.

In addition to offering free “vagina” cupcakes, hundreds of dollars-worth of sextoy giveaways, and free condoms/lube/dental dam the Radcliffe Union of Students are holding a contest. That’s right, a contest!

The sports team or entryway with the most members present (by number and percentage) will win one of TWO, count ‘em, TWO cakes!

Spice up your sexlife, eat free food, maybe giggle at a slideshow or two (but in a sex-positive way). Empower you and your fellow “Vagina Warriors,” bring your man, bring your woman, bring whoever!

(note: The Voice will be there AND blogging the event for those who cannot make it)

They also talked about music in a broad sense, from songwriting to recording.  On the issue of recorded music and the fall of the record in today’s age of digital music and single song downloads, Cline remarked that “recording is a blip on the time line of centuries and centuries of music.”  Live music has been around far longer than the first recording devices and the importance of music lies in the spontaneity of live music.  As a tip to songwriters yearning to create something new and original, he advised students not to worry too much.  He said that you will give music its own unique twist, even if it shares a chord progression with hundreds of other songs.  The two were happy to answer all questions thrown their way.  Wilco plays tomorrow night at the Orpheum in Boston.

Today, at Boloco, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., they’re giving away Mini and Small Burritos, Bowls, Wraps and Salads.  The large burritos are only a dollar.  Take advantage of the deals.  We college students love our free food, as evidenced by the lines yesterday at Ben and Jerry’s and Chipotle (oh, but you know it was worth the wait).

Harvard Square Homeless Center will be at Boloco asking for donations.  Contribute whatever you can.  It is a great organization and you are getting free food for the second day in a row after all.

You’re welcome for all the updates on free food.  We wouldn’t want you to miss out.

My roommate and I braved the bitter cold with thoughts of pancake and batter dancing in our heads. This year, IHOP picked the Children’s Miracle Network to support. So, after placing our pancake order we made a small donation to help save some of the millions of kids overcome with illness. This act makes us feel better about shoveling food into our mouth, after having already eaten a rather large dinner.

But with a wait of over an hour and being assigned ridiculous names (we were “Brad Pitt party of two”), the luke-warm, undercooked pancakes weren’t worth it. So I’m sorry, but even with the philanthropic goals in mind, IHOP’s free Pancake Day has nothing on Denny’s free grandslams (mmmm bacon bacon bacon).

Probably doesn't look this classy.

Today is Day One of the UC’s “Reading Period Giveaways.” Here’s what they’re giving away today:

1. Free backrubs in Ticknor Lounge today from 1-3pm.
2. Free hot cider in Greenhouse Cafe from 6-7pm.

Noice is a fan of hot cider, so we think this is pretty cool. Follow the UC’s blog, UC Juicy, for updates on what else they’re giving away this week! (We hope it’s something along the lines of a “NO EXAMS PASS.” Or something.)

Introducing LE WHIF, the product of the tireless of work of Harvard Professor David Edwards and his team of students. Edwards writes: “Over the centuries we’ve been eating smaller and smaller quantities at shorter and shorter intervals. It seemed to us that eating was tending toward breathing, so, with a mix of culinary art and aerosol science, we’ve helped move eating habits to their logical conclusion. We call it whiffing.” All sounds very odd to us, but here goes!

The small lipstick sized plastic container fits comfortably in the hand and is very light. Pull it out, raise it to the lips and inhale! Suddenly a rush of the most delicious chocolate flavor as thousands of aerosol chocolate particles burst onto the tongue. LE WHIF comes in three awesome flavors (Noice loves them all very, very much): Dark (rich, creamy tasting) Chocolate, Mint Chocolate, and Raspberry Chocolate. Each LE WHIF is worth three or four shots (or whiffs?!) of chocolate heavenly-ness and, whilst you’re not enjoying the instant chocolate satisfaction, you can simply click it shut and pop it back into your manbag, purse, or pocket.

LE WHIF is doing the rounds in many of the upperclassmen houses so keep a look out and tell your friends. However, more importantly, come along to the Grand Opening of The Laboratory this Sunday 8th in the late afternoon and witness an incredible (and sometimes chocolaty) collision of art and science. Buy those tickets!

Noice received a lovely invite from HUBSS today to a Halloween Social, featuring free BerryLine and…bioluminescent dinoflagellates?!

First thoughts:

Free BerryLine = Yessss.
Our own flask of bioluminescent dinoflagellates = WHAT IS THAT.
HUBSS = WHAT IS THIS.

For the rest of you non-sciencey types out there, dinoflagellates are tiny alien-looking wrigglers of horror. Okay fine, that definition is a failure. So let’s go to the trusty Wikipedia:

“The dinoflagellates are a large group of flagellate protists. Most are marine plankton, but they are common in fresh water habitats as well. They make up the largest group of eukaryotic algae aside from the diatoms.”

HUBSS is the Harvard Undergraduate Biological Sciences Society. Major props to them for bringing these glowing microbes of terror to the general Harvard undergrad population. For your own flask of glowy wriggly things, check out Ticknor Lounge this Friday from 7-9pm.
