We had $1 domestic drafts at Roadhouse and $2 well drinks at Mona (both at 109th and Amsterdam).  The event ran from 10pm-3am.  The party was a complete success (enough that at one point the fire department had to enforce max capacity rules!) and we are glad everyone had a great time!

April 24-30, 2005:  Bacchanal 2005

Bacchanal is Columbia's spring festival, held at the end of April. The festival lasts for an entire week, and features a variety of exciting events that are open to the entire Columbia community. It is a celebration of the end of the academic year, the coming of spring, and the ideals of the Roman god Bacchus.

Bacchanal 2005 ran from Sunday, April 24 to Friday, April 29.  Bacchanal T-shirts were sold throughout the week.

Sunday was the kick-off BBQ, with great food and music.  That night was Comedy Night, with professional comedians.

Tuesday was Movie Night but unfortunately was canceled due to rain.

Wednesday was night games but was also canceled because of rain.

Thursday, was Chilling on the Steps, with music, contests, and a pizza-eating contest.  That night was Bacchanal's signature party:  Debauchery Party!  A night full of free snacks, and tons of drinks such as wine and beer.  The theme was a toga party, and rocked late into the night!

Friday was the Olympic Games and Carnival, with arcade and other games, fun contests (with prizes), free food such as hot dogs, pretzels, cotton candy, snow cones, and popcorn, live music, and an all-around awesome time!  Food will include hot dogs, pretzels, cotton candy, snow cones, and popcorn.

Saturday was The Concert, with feature hip-hop headliners Common and Busdriver--it rained but that didn't stop the party!

See you all next year!

 

 

February 3, 2005:  Pre-Valentine’s Day Party

For Glass House Rocks, an event covering all of Lerner Hall, we had our own party in the Lerner Party Space.  Why would you want to be anywhere else except a CSE party?  From 10pm until 2am, the free beer and wine was flowing.  But this is just a run-up to our biggest event, Bacchanal!

 

 

December 13, 2004:  Last Day of Classes Party

October 1, 2004:  CSE Homecoming Party

For the 2004 Homecoming Weekend, CSE did two awesome things:

1.  We made up the wackiest T-shirts, like we always do, for the game against Princeton (results of the game here) and sold them (for the low price of $5) like crazy at Low Plaza and at the game.  This is what the front and back look like.

2.  We threw an awesome homecoming party in the back of Roone Alredge Auditorium the night before the game.  Admission was free, of course, and two ID's needed for a wristband to drink.  There was free red and white wine, and a selection of four different types of beer.  There was also sodas, bottled water, and food.  The DJ kept the party rocking for three fun hours!  Here is a picture of us setting up, and here is a picture from the party.  If you went, we hope you had a great time, and if you didn't, come to our next one!

April 27, 2004:  Ben Stein Hosts Battle of the Schools

 

Ben Stein hosted the first and only battle of the schools quiz show for Bacchanal 250.  The four schools of Columbia University (Columbia College, Barnard, General Studies, and School of Engineering and Applied Science) competed for the prestige and cash awarded to the "Last School Standing".  Although marred by technical difficulties (the buzzers went off uncontrollably) the event was a smashing success.  The winning school was Columbia College, whose team took home $1,000!  Barnard College was in second place, winning $500, and the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science took third place, winning $250.
