Where Was It Said: Kokes Concert, Or In Bed?
Tomorrow night marks the first Kokosingers’ concert of the year, and boy are we pumped! But, amid all of the vocal fun, it’s hard to tell: was it heard at the Kokes concert…or in bed? You tell us! Continue reading

How has Kenyon changed since your undergraduate years?
I came to Kenyon as a first-year student in the fall of 1980. I was a legacy kid because my uncle had graduated from Kenyon in 1961. My parish priest had also gone to seminary at Bexley Hall when it was a part of Kenyon.
Kenyon has changed in many ways since I was a student, but what is most significant to me is that it is a more diverse and more liberal place than it was in the early ’80s. The population of students of color was less than 3%, and there were few non-white faculty members and no African American faculty. The families of students that I knew were mostly moderate to conservative in their political views, and that political point of view dominated the the campus.

Guest Playlist: ConfidenceCoyote Soundtrack the Apocalypse 4 U
Eyewitness sketch of ConfidenceCoyote’s first known show at Kenyon, 4/20/2011 (with former members Taylor Swift and Aubrey “Drake” Graham).
As we are all well aware by now, the world will be coming to an end in a couple of months. That’s like, eight weekends from now. So have you thought yet about what you ought to do on this, your SEVENTH-TO-LAST WEEKEND ON EARTH!?!?!
Well fortunately, we have an answer for you. Firstly, a strikingly handsome ensemble of vocally talented gentlemen will be taking the stage of Rosse Hall tonight at 7:00 p.m. So if come Dec. 21 you’d like to perish in a burning cataclysm with faint traces of a capella pop arrangements lingering in your recent memory, perhaps this would be a good first step.
But more importantly, in honor of what will be their final concert, the Kokosingers have decided to throw an a capella and apocalypse-themed bash (or “a cap-ocalypse”) in Weaver Cottage around 10:30 tonight. And, in a characteristically sage decision, they have elected none other than Kenyon trip-pop duo ConfidenceCoyote to DJ the after-party. So if you’d prefer to perish in a burning cataclysm with faint memories of a very sweaty, very dancey, very trippy party lingering in your recent memory, drop by anytime after 10:30 p.m.
Hit the jump for a weekend-friendly preview of some jams you might hear blaring over the Weaver P.A. later on this evening.

Do it tonight: Kokosingers Fall Concert
.jpg)
Back in 1968, the Kokes looked like this. Not much has changed.
If you’re reading this, chances are you don’t really need me to tell you about the Kokosingers. They’re snappy dressers, they sing pretty songs a cappella and they’re Kenyon’s social equivalent of a football team at a high school. Considering the weird abundance of a cappella groups we have on this campus, the Kokes’ ability to continuously reign supreme speaks to their talent and popularity. Lucky for us common folk, they’re having their fall concert tonight at 7:00 p.m. in Rosse Hall.
It’s Family Weekend and Kokes concerts are always packed anyway, so get there early and stake out seats if you want a decent view of the handsome faces on display. If you’re planning on seeing Spunk, don’t worry — they’ll hold the curtain at the Bolton until the Kokes show is out, so you can have your cake and listen to its beautiful dulcet tones, too.
