dean re-mix

In brief, the Mifflin Street Block Party is a local, yearly thing. i've never been, but i've biked past, and it's crazy. As that the majority of the participants are UW-Madison students, the Dean here released a video requesting that students consider not attending. Some creative students took this and made re-mix and dubstep versions. They're pretty impressive, i think. Huffington post picked it up, even.

Those of us not really paying attention found a nice little email in our university email accounts this morning regarding the party, opening with "By now, I'm sure you've probably heard my feelings about May 5th
Mifflin Street block party. Or seen the autotune or dubstep remixes." The email goes on to re-iterate that students please consider their safety. The request is reasonable. The response is creative.

Wow.
