Greg Bishoff (‘16) recently attended Clark Visual and Performing Arts Department’s production of That Show You’ve Never Heard of Before and claims that he “really enjoyed the production”. Bischoff, who is a Political Science major, concentrating in Law and Society and minoring in Entrepreneurship says he went to see the show to support his friend Katie Valikay, who has a minor role in the production. “She invited me to the event on facebook and I said yes even though I meant maybe, so I felt obligated.”

Bishoff had never seen a Clark theater production prior to this apart from the occasional Peapod Squad show.

Needless to say, Bishoff admits he was nervous about attending a show in the Experimental Theater, mostly because he’d never been there before. He was also surprised by the disgusted looks he got from fellow theater goers when he took out his phone to take an Instagram picture halfway through the first act. “I wanted everyone to know that I was seeing a play and being a good, supportive guy. Chicks dig that.”

He claims to have been “really impressed” with the technical skill of the show even though the show’s more complex themes flew over his head. “The lighting was pretty cool. I liked how when the characters got mad at each other the actors really made me feel like they were really mad at each other.”

Later that evening Bishoff reviewed the show on various social media platforms citing Valikay as being “great”. Bishoff also took special care to congratulate other company members on their performance when he saw them around campus. “I don’t want people to think I’m some uncultured douche or anything.”

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
