An old classmate of mine did that and was arrested. :\

Yeah, schools tend to take a dim view on creepers.

I was away over the weekend, so naturally there was a couple-of-days delay.

In other words, "I'm right and you're stupid!" Cunningly argued, sir.

n.b. this person was (haven't talked to him in years, don't know if he's changed) pretty much a moron and fucked up on anti-psychosis drugs.

Never.

[PaulR]

well, the BG New Music Festival is a set time frame of 4 days starting on Wednesday, and ending with the BG Philharmonia/Wind Symphony concert last night.  So in the sense of the time frame, the festival is over.

[Karl Henning]

Anyway, I never get invited to these festivals ; )
