Until this year, Korean Culture Night (KCN) has never happened here at UC Irvine, even though campuses like UCLA, UC Riverside and San Diego State have hosted the event for years.

Of the seemingly innumerable new bands that have burst onto the music scene over the past few years, perhaps none was as prone to the stereotypical sophomore slump as Fleet Foxes. Their self-titled debut album, released almost three years ago, generated a profuse amount of buzz and sales to match, going platinum in the UK and topping almost every notable best-of-the-year list.

Matt Summers has known what he has wanted to do since he was in elementary school – play Major League Baseball. When his career is all said and done, the 6-foot-1, 205-pound ballplayer might have to be dragged off the diamond, because he sure as hell won’t walk away.

A pristine, white doghouse sits in Sean Alexander McWillie’s backyard. Outside, it resembles some of the original 1965 Brutalist-style architecture found on campus, like the kind seen at Social Science Tower. The insulation is made from re-purposed Styrofoam and it is completely sustainable. Even the roof, which slopes downward so the water can drain from the back, has a small garden growing from it. Inside, it is spacious and beautiful, perfect for Jolly.

Picture this: performances spread across three stages, eccentrically dressed people on stilts dancing to dynamic acoustic melodies, sweaty masses sitting in the shade or hustling themselves from one thing to the next, more ice cream, baked goods, bacon-wrapped hot dogs and strawberry lemonade than one could ever possibly need, a Ferris wheel that sped on with promises of bringing all that food back up, a brave few hanging from trees, parked cars and panting dogs everywhere, spaces packed with booths on flattened grass … this past Saturday, all of these things melted into the sun-drenched afternoon.

SETTER: Senior Anthony Spittle will attempt to follow in his brothers’ footsteps, win one for the family.
