"The Student Association has, at long last, confirmed that Passion Pit will headline this year's Spring Fling concert, which will be held in the Events Center.

Passion Pit, known for songs like "Little Secrets" and "Sleepyhead," will take the indoor stage on May 5.

From the folks who brought Rob Thomas and Maroon 5 to Binghamton...
Dick's Sporting Goods Open announces their Summer 2012 concert:

TRAIN IS COMING TO BINGHAMTON.
August 17th

"Train was inescapable during the turn of the 21st century, when songs like "Calling All Angels" and "Drops of Jupiter" made the San Francisco residents some of America's most popular balladeers. Although formed during the glory days of post-grunge, the group found more success in the pop/rock world, where Train straddled the line between adult contemporary and family-friendly alternative rock ... Train continued releasing material throughout the rest of the decade and even returned to the charts in 2010, when the single "Hey, Soul Sister" became a surprise Top 10 hit."~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi

FROM THE TOURNAMENT:

"The Dick's Sporting Goods Open will be one of the stops on the San Francisco 2012 Tour, which kicks off on April 10th in California and will work its way east to us on August 17th," said tournament Marketing and Promotions Manager Dave Pessagno. "What will be great is that our date will be part of their world-wide tour. It will be exciting to see Endicott, NY on the tee shirt after all our community has been through."

"Maroon 5 put the word out after their 2011show that this is an incredible venue. They were impressed with the huge crowd that came out and they made sure their management knew that this was an event that can support a big-time act. We are also very fortunate to have a Title Sponsor like Dick's Sporting Goods that cares so much about our community. Their commitment makes it possible to bring such quality entertainment for our customers, sponsors, fans and players.", said John Karedes, Tournament Director. "We look forward to our 3rd consecutive concert sell-out!"

OK, OK, let me just say this. I think spelling is stupid. Really. Who doesn’t have spellcheck these days? Your IPhone practically knows what you’re fingering before you even finish and types the rest of the thought for you–or something infinitely more entertaining.

So do we REALLY expect people to be able to spell multi-syllabic words like "Younivurcity" on the spines of college yearbooks anymore? That IS how it’s spelled right…

In the interest of full disclosure, I was once hired to design political campaign literature in which I misspelled the word "BINGHAMTON" in enormous bold letters at the top of the page.

Men in glass whatevers shouldn’t throw stuff.  But it’s never stopped me before…

I’m gonna give the editors the benefit of the doubt and imagine that it’s actually a fiendishly clever plot to get us a mention Letterman. Could be a collector’s edition someday. I think they should charge extra, honestly…
