Of all the bizarre things I’ve witnessed at Penn, this has got to be one of the wildest.
It was a lazy Sunday afternoon as I made my usual trek to Sansom Street to indulge in a New Deck burger. Most of the time the alleyway between Walnut and Samson is relatively quiet but, on this particular afternoon, I was greeted with a wild, raucous–one of the strangest–parties I have ever seen. Not only was Pink puma stuff everywhere, but there was also a conglomerate of girls wearing furry leg warmers more fit for an episode of Fraggle Rock than a party on Penn’s campus. A DJ was pumping music and a crowd of about 500 adults and children were breaking it down.
The leader of the pack was this chick:
Upon further investigation, I discovered that the scene I witnessed was part of Sundaes at the Bubble House, an attempt to bring “house music to the people.” Additionally, this was not the first party of its kind. Apparently, these parties occurred all summer long in the heart of our Ivy League campus.
While I’m sure many of you are dying to shake your thang every week outside Bubble House, I just recently learned that the party has moved elsewhere. As of October 21st, Sundaes relocated to La Veranda, located at 3 N Columbus Blvd, Pier 3.
As for the hoop dancer, an inside source tells me this former Penn student made her way onto America’s Got Talent.
