Event Number 3 - Free Rock Concert

Tonight I went to what was supposed to be a rock concert in the student center, which sadly fell flat of expectations.  The flyer I found for this a couple weeks ago made this event look like a lot of fun!  It had said there were going to be bands, pizza, prizes, and face painting!  Which all sounded like a good time so I figured this would be a perfect event for my last review.  I figured a lot of people would show up for this so my roommate and I decided to go a little early, and since it started at 6:30, we got there for 6:10. When we got there, I was kind of surprised by how few people were there.  There was one band setting up while a few other people were sitting at the tables and a few other people were walking around, probably a maximum of ten people in the room.  I was previously under the impression it was going to be actual bands performing but as we sat at the table and watched people bringing stuff in and out, we slowly realized it was student bands.  I wasn't against it, I figured they must have to start performing somewhere and what better place to start than in front of your peers.  And who knows, they might even be good.  We sat at the table for about a half hour but still no one else had showed up and they were supposed to have started already.  A little disappointed, my roommate and I went downstairs to get coffee from dunkin donuts to hold us over for a little while which was when we got back upstairs, they ironically put out pizza. We had a couple slices, finished our coffee and it was about 7:15.  We had been there for over an hour waiting and still nothing was happening so we decided to leave.  This event was very disappointing as I was expecting an actual concert like the flyer said!  I hope they started playing at some point in the night and that next time they will have more people and start playing on time.

Event Number 2 - Insidious 2

Last night I went to the program council's showing of Insidious 2.  They held it in the student center theater and since I just saw the first movie not too long ago, I couldn't resist!  I went with my friend Diana and her roommate Jessica who love scary movies just as much as I do ( even though we all screamed the whole time).  It started out as a prequel to the first movie showing the father as a young boy who was traveling into a ghostly world where all the deceased go, not a heaven or a hell though, when ever he fell asleep.  So his mother had a woman take away this "gift" because it was creating problems for them.  Next it comes back to where the first movie left off which is where it got good.  The father (Josh) somehow passed his gift onto one of his sons and in the first movie he got trapped in the ghost world so in the real world, his parents thought he was in a coma.  Josh figured out what was wrong with him and went to find him but when they tried to go back to their bodies, an evil spirit got into Josh's body before he did.  That movie ended with the spirit (Josh) killing the woman who helped him when he was a child.  So the second movie was a lot of trying to figure out what happened to the woman, Josh's wife and mother trying to figure out why there were still "ghosts" in the house and the real Josh trying to get back to his body.  I don't want to give away the ending, but it was very good and if you like scary movies, its a must see!
Since it was a monday night, I would usually have gone to the gym or done homework but scary movies are my weakness and since I still needed an event, this was perfect!  I'm very happy I ended up going because not only did I get to see a good movie, I made a couple new friends too!
