The Best December Holiday

December 28, 2016

By Scott Talarico

By Comedian, Ben Rosenfeld Growing up, December was always my month of being a total misfit. When kids would ask, “what’d you get for Christmas?” I’d answer, “nothing.” They’d say, “Oh right sorry, I forgot. I meant, what’d you get for Hanukkah?” And I’d say, “nothing.” Then the kid would give me a puzzled look and wonder if I was on food stamps until the teacher called for recess. I was born in the Soviet … Continued

Glow Events

“I wanted to reach out on behalf of CAB to sincerely thank you for contributing to our event. The guests enjoyed the volleyball and were talking about it after the matter too! Thank You so much for adding the generator last minute and being so kind and cooperative. The setup people were also very courteous and friendly. Everything was set up and broken down quickly and efficiently.

Thank You for making a big impact on our event. We look forward to working with you in the future :)”

— Jyoti, Thomas Jefferson University

Bazooka Ball

“Yes, last-minute we had to change location due to their being confusion with reservations, facilities, and the campus police. It ended up working out though as the change of location ended up being better for Jay and the setup with electricity being right there and not having to be setup. Those who played seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game, and we want to thank you for all of your help and assistance through the booking process. We look forward to continuing working with you throughout the rest of this semester and those to come. “

— Paige, East Stroudsburg University

Drive In Movie

“Everything went perfectly with the event, and our students absolutely loved it. The screen size was just right, and it really added to the experience. We appreciate all your help in making it a success!
We might be reaching out to you soon, as our students have expressed interest in hosting a Halloween outdoor movie night, which I think could be a lot of fun.
Thanks again for your support, and I look forward to working with you on future events!”

— Habiba, Penn State Abington

Will Jay

“Everything was wonderful with Will Jay. He was easy to work with during the event and our students truly loved having him – I have already received requests to bring him to campus when we are allowed to do face to face events again. Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about. I think Will Jay has a new fan base here at CMU and they are going to consume the music he has out now – and are eagerly anticipating what he has in store.”

— Central Michigan University

Elizabeth Acevedo

“She [Elizabeth Acevedo] was wonderful. It was a perfect fit for the event, the audience loved her! She gave them a space to explore some emotions they may have or need to understand from an outsider’s perspective or just a space to hear what she had to say abut her experiences, observations, etc. One of the students from the club we were collaborating with even said we need to bring her back in the future. She is one performer we will be keeping in our heads for future performances.”

— Emily Umstead, Aquinas College
