Hey UMBC! We survived the Snowpocalypse of 2010 with you and are finally back to our regularly scheduled programming. On Valentine's Day, February 14, the UC Ballroom was packed with students excited to see Owl City, which proved to be a great experience. The show sold out within the first two hours of being on sale and despite the harsh weather conditions, most people who bought tickets made it out!

Share your Owl City experiences with us and stay tuned for our announcements of the live music that will be featured at SEB's biggest event of the year, QUADMANIA!!! We're still working out all of the details for it, but we can promise you that at the very least it's going to be different than last year and better than before! In addition to the event, we're working on compiling a bunch of old Quadmania materials from the years (it's almost thirty years old, you know!) for a gallery that will be featured in the Commons at the Mezzanine (by the Grille and Mondo Subs) so you can see how it's changed and how it's progressed to what it is now.

If you have suggestions or desires for Quadmania, make yourself known! Use this as your forum for feedback. Obviously, bashing is largely pointless, but we're always open to constructive criticism and well thought out ideas.

Finally, it's Monday, February 22, which means today is the last day for the $5 commvision credit for Art Week submissions! You can still submit pieces until Wednedsay, but put your best photography, graphic design, or any other kind of art on a flash drive (or email them to commonvision@umbc.edu) and stop by the shop to get help with printing and learn more about Art Week. It's a great cultural even that happens on our campus and don't hesitate to be a part of it! There have been all sorts of submissions in the past, ranging from painting to poetry and film to graphic design. Check out the website and don't miss out! Things have been rough with a week missing due to snow, but take this time to share your work with your peers.

P.S.: SEB Board applications should be released this week! If you have any questions and want to know how to get more involved, stop by our office in Commons 2B10. Even if you've never been to a committee meeting, you can still apply to the board and make a huge difference in the way our campus community operates. We'll provide you with more news soon, but for now keep in mind that a lot of our programmers are graduating and we'll need to hire two design and marketing directors!
