KANYE WEST to Star at Convocation!

After much wait and speculation over mainstream artists coming to Vassar, sources report that Kanye West is in the works to perform for Baccalaureate this year (May 25th)... with a price!

"This has been a work in progress since September 2007, and after months of emailing and receiving no responses, his representatives have confirmed that he will be able to. I'm afraid though, that as he is a world famous hip-hop artist and producer, we will have to limit the crowd to 400 Vassar students and 200 outside guests... Initial ticket prices for Vassar students have been capped at $54 and $80 for outside guests, so we are hoping that we can somehow work out a deal to lower the prices," according to our behind the scenes crews in various VSA groups helping to support the event.

$54?!?! And a two-hour trip back up to Poughkeepsie!??! I'm up for it! I'm saving my money definitely!

After spreading the word to a few friends, I've been hearing:

"Finally! Someone I know and their music I can actually understand!"
and
"I can't believe Vassar is going all out!"

It is also important to note that NO OFFICIAL WORD has been sent out... YET. But by the looks of it, dreams may become reality! Let's just hope things don't change and they decide to restrict the event to Seniors :(

Luvs and hugs,
