The Natty Nittany: John, Hetzel St.

Saturday was, of course, State Patty's Day. I didn't expect to see someone worthy of Natty Nittany status, but then I ran into John outside of Sharkies Bar and Thrifty Bottle Shop on Hetzel Street. The fashion photography gods had given me a State Patty's Day blessing.


Though I did not have my good camera with me, you shouldn't need too sharp of an image to see why I had to snap Jon's picture. John did State Patty's in a big way and I respect him for that.


It's not only that he's got the green going on, and that he did it in a way much more fashionable than the typical t-shirt, but that his jacket was actually a decent fit! Too often I see people with blazers two sizes too big for them and poorly tailored suit jackets (or worse-- not tailored at all!).


Oh, and a little side note courtesy of John's female accompaniment. When I told them who I was and asked to take John's picture, the girl enthusiastically informed that John's clothes were indeed, "all high end stuff!"

Keep ‘em Flying: Honoring the Tuskegee Airmen

TONIGHT! There will be a special presentation presented by the PSU chapter of the NAACP. “Keep ‘em Flying: Honoring the Tuskegee Airmen” is a celebration of the first black airmen. Tuskegee airmen themselves will be telling some really incredible stories about their experiences.


These men had to overcome unbelievable discrimination and racism in America and in the army, but they still flew with distinction. Tonight’s function will also feature performances by Essence of Joy, Spoken Word and Poetry, and the Delta Theta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. along with a catered dinner, photo opportunities, and live music.


The event takes place at 4pm TONIGHT in Alumni Hall in the HUB. Tickets are $8.00 for students and $15.00 for the general admission, which is a pretty great deal to be able to see such illustrious, brave men talk.
