Long Time, No Post

It's been a while, but the Pennchants are back! It's been a crazy semester, but one full of great things. Here are just a few:

1. We've been planning our 20th anniversary show

2. We had to cancel a mixer with a Drexel group because of the meningitis scare

3. Zhibo found a girlfriend on the New York subway

Anyway, we'll be getting back to y'all soon with details about the big 2-0. The Pennchants are almost legal. 

In the mean time, don't catch the measles! Too soon?

Happy Holidays

I have something to share about the Pennchants. As an a cappella group that holds itself to the  highest of moral standards (yes, we paid the Cornell Touchtones back for getting their car towed), the Pennchants believes that trust and inclusion are very important virtues. 

For those of you who do not remember - which I'm sure is every one - two entries ago I posted a photo of the Pennchants. Dan Silverman has been pretty down and out about not being included in that photo. In the spirit of Qwanzaa, Nick Cocca was nice enough to photoshop him into the pic. I figured that I would post the new and improved group shot:

I think we are a more attractive group in black and white.

Merry Christmas!

XOXOXOXO,

The Meiers

First of all, a big thank you to every one who came out to see our fall show! We were so good that some one felt the need to bitch about us on Juicy Campus. That's when you know you've made it.

Now we are back to working on our newest CD. After a long session in the recording studio this weekend, we took advantage of a good photo opp:

Dan decided to sleep in and therefore isn't shown above. Sorry, Dan.

We also have to start deciding which songs to sing for our spring 20th anniversary show! What about the song from the following video? Maybe?

...maybe not.

Get ready, bitches...

Meet DAN SILVERMAN

Things are getting busy right before our fall show with the Quaker Notes (November 14th and 15th). Hopefully some of you caught us tonight at World Cafe Live. If you missed it, you can see us perform tomorrow around 2ish on the College Green for GreenFest! The Pennchants love the environment! And Al Gore! But we like Obama better and he won so suck it. 

We will be selling tickets for the show on Locust walk from 10am to 4pm from Monday, November 10th to Friday, November 14th. Tickets are $5 on the walk, $8 at the door. Or you can get them cheaper if you find a Pennchants and do him a favor... as in hold the door open for him, you perv.

Before you go rush to buy your ticket and some for your grandparents, parents, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, and Ellen Degeneres, check out one more of the newest Pennchants. This one has perfect pitch! ...but really, he does.
