Gettin' Down with It and "You Suck!"

Last Friday was "Entrapalooza 2006," UMich's biggest entrepreneurial event of the year. At the event there were various panels of established entrepreneurs, Ross alums who have started their own businesses, and other workshops designed to help budding entrepreneurs. The keynote was given by Jim Buckmaster, the President/CEO of Craigslist. Although it was a pleasure to hear him speak, I think Jim's background as an engineer hindered his ability to connect with us business-minded people. During the Q/A it seemed as if Jim's approach is more reactive than proactive.

On Friday, after our section bowling event (in which I bowled a dismal 70 points; my excuse is that I haven't bowled in 6+ years!), we hit up The Cavern Club, a live music place in town. There was this amazing band called The Flamingoes performing, and I was shocked at how good they were at playing cover songs, everything from Michael Jackson to All American Rejects to House of Pain (see video here).

Sat. was the Michigan-Wisconsin game. After the game we all went to the tailgate sponsored by Target. I can definitely get used to all the different corporate perks as an MBA student.

Here are 2 clips from the game (you'll need RealPlayer):
- Throwing people in the air after a touchdown
- "You Suck!" cheer
