we really do get the bigger benefit of the mixups. Everyone knows our sports teams, and for some reason thinks that we are also “ivy league” as far as academics. I don’t usually correct them ;-) I mean it isn’t like we’re that far behind, anyway.

As an elective I took the History of Jazz class. A lot of fun. Anyway, we had an assignment where at some point in the semester we had to go to a jazz concert and write a review on it. So I kept my eyes open and saw some famous jazz musician was going to do a show at a bar downtown one weekend. So my future wife and I, who was also in the class, decided to go to this show and do our report on it. We showed up pretty early so we could get a table and had a few drinks, but not too many b/c we were supposed to be paying attention to write a report and all. The band was late, but we didn’t think much of it. Most bands start late anyway. But half an hour turned into an hour which turned into an hour and a half. Pretty soon the bar manager came on stage and said the show was cancelled. The band just called and they were driving around Philadelphia looking for the place. They went to Penn instead of Penn State.

he’s just compounding the problems of that one mistake into others…
