Last Wednesday night, the Class of 2003 hosted the Senior Spirit coffeehouse at Cholmondeley's. Gregg Leppo '03, president of the Senior Spirit club, and Aziz Nekoukar '03, vice president and treasurer, emceed of the event. The night began with the unknown, but slowly rising group, the Barbershop Quartet, made up of Adam Perlin '03, Michael Zoosman '03, Lawrence Szenes-Strauss '03 and Nick Barouche '06.

The quartet started out with some lovely songs including "Strolling Through the Park One Day," "Auld Lang Syne" and "Coney Island Baby." Their mature sound and great harmony stood out.

Their set ended with an incredibly sped up version of "Coney Island Baby" in which they all raised their voices a couple of keys and sounded like an amusing group of chipmunks.

This group has a lot of talent, and it was a shame that not many people came early enough to see them.

Next up was Rebecca Katz '05. Claiming that she had just come from an a cappella rehearsal, she still gave a very strong performance. Her set included John Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane," Dar Williams' "Wilder Than Her" and Green Day's "Time of Your Life."

Her set also had some originals, including older songs that were requested by the audience. These were "Juliet," "Walking Song" and "Storming the Castle." More people began to arrive as her set went on.

After Rebecca was done, Ana Yoselin Bugallo '03 and Marci Surkes '03 jumped onto the stage to perform. Their original piece, starting at the beginning, was the "Song for the Seniors" which talked about waking up the morning after a party and having no idea what happened that night.

Next, they went through several covers in which Bugallo sang and Surkes played an acoustic guitar. They played Melissa Etheridge's "Come to My Window," Shakira's "Donde Estas Corazon," Bon Jovi's "Living On a Prayer," Deep Blue Something's "Breakfast at Tiffany's," Aretha Franklin's "Respect" and Amanda Marshall's "If I Didn't Have You."

As their set progressed, more and more people began to fill the space at Chum's. Bugallo's pretty voice was complimented very well by Surkes's guitar, and their set ended on a very positive note, with everyone singing along to "Breakfast at Tiffany's."

Last but not least, was False -- or "True" -- Advertising. The group was obviously on that night, because every one of their skits elicited a thundering laugh from the gigantic group.

Their act began with three boys dealing with childhood traumas -- peeing their pants in public. A few other games they did included the always popular 186 in which they get a word from the audience -- my favorite that night had been eyebrows -- that would become the punchline of a joke, and a soap opera in which every character had a secret -- again provided by the audience -- that had to be brought out into the open by the end of the skit.

False Advertising certainly proved themselves once again, whether they dealt with dolphins or pee dreams.
