hashish and singing

today the diag was filled with people smoking pot. no, this isn't a common occurrence here in ann arbor. today was a day for celebrating marijuana in ann arbor's annual hash bash. we had the usual hippie drummers, hacky sack players, and frisbee throwers, however this year there were people advocating the medical use of marijuana and others screaming that bush and cheney need to get out of office. but if you're thinking of coming to ann arbor next year for hash bash, be sure not to light up until you are off of university property. the fines are a lot lower and there are less officers looking for people smoking up.

tonight was also my first ever a cappella concert. i had always thought that only losers who were attracted to young boys liked a cappella. but after the friars concert tonight, i've turned into an a cappella guy myself. combine great singing, even better lyrics, and crazy on-stage antics, and you've got the friars, the university of michigan's oldest a cappella group. you can find a sample of a billy joel song they redid here.
