But there’s also been a lot more happening on campus. In case you’ve been too wrapped up in schoolwork and anxiety over grabbing Bacchanal tickets to take note of this week’s top stories from Spec, here’s a short ’n’ sweet recap.
Try after try, you can’t seem to nab a ticket to Bacchanal. Sure, if you wanted to go, it sucks, but there is some good news. Obviously you won’t have to brave the mosh pit in front of Low or have your personal space and hygiene compromised by countless drunken strangers. Also, there’s still plenty of ways to enjoy the Bacchanal experience and even find a great view to watch the show. All you need is a little creativity.
