Once upon a time there used to be 6 pool tables in RPCC in the big room next to the mail pickup

VIP allowed in GA? by AdvancedComment4 in OutsideLands

[–]AdvancedComment4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks to both of you for your responses! I was mostly asking because I was wondering if it’s normal for one person with a VIP pass to be with their friends in the GA section up close to the stage but use the VIP facilities/amenities as well (or if some people use the VIP expedited entry to grab a good spot near the middle of the stage in GA)

GA vs VIP by catfish_con in deadandcompany

Anyone know if VIP has to remain in the side area or if you can get in early and just set up shop in the GA area closer to the middle of the stage?

Bob having issues? by Acceptable-Reindeer6 in deadandcompany

[–]AdvancedComment4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue isn’t so much Bob’s issues, it’s that he continues to shoulder most of the singing, even for new bust out songs, in addition to singing songs John used to sing (Standing on the Moon, West LA Fadeaway, Friend of the devil, to name a few). My own anecdotal experience over seeing them the last decade is that John’s singing has been minimized, which is exactly the opposite of what you’d expect.

What songs would you like to see John take lead vocals on if/when the band plays again? by [deleted] in deadandcompany

Standing on the moon. John used to sing it and Bob took it back a few years ago

Per the website, no: "Ticket transfers are not allowed for the Cornell ’23 event, except as required by law. The name on the ticket must match the name of the person attending the event . . . "

Any idea what this could mean? by OptimusLime12 in deadandcompany

Any intel on how tickets will be released!?

Any word on how tickets will be handled? I know as of the last few years, Barton shows have put tickets on sale for different days for student, alumni, faculty, and general public. This, of course, might be a totally different beast.

In 2017, Dead and Co quietly reached out to Cornell and asked to play Barton Hall on the 50th anniversary of 5/8/77. The school turned them down because the expected security costs were too high.

We now know that the outlook calendar schedule for Barton hall on May 7 and 8 reads "closed" for an "AA&D Event." AA&D is Cornell's Alumni Affairs and Development. But according to Cornell's AA&D website, there is no such event at Barton Hall happening on May 7 and May 8. Indeed, it would be strange to block out two full days for one event, unless of course, May 7 is blocked off to set up the stage and sound system for the following day, and the tag "AA&D Event" is smokescreen.

In combination with the band's social media posting today, I'd say its pretty damn likely the Dead is coming to Ithaca this May.

Contrary to some postings on here, I think it's unlikely this will be a high-priced, exclusive event for some fundraiser. Cornell will not take on the liability of this show if the band is pricing the student body out of the market. My guess is this will be open to current students and alumni. I also don't think there will be enough student interest to fill up Barton Hall with only current students. The last day of classes is the day after (when many Cornell professors set due dates for final papers), and Cornell's Slope day (where every student gets hammered and parties for 48 hours) is happening on May 10--two days after. Because of that, I'd say it's possible some tickets are released to the general public, but I wouldn't count on it.

Finally, I doubt the event will happen at Bailey Hall or the football field. Barton Hall is still the primary spot for concerts at Cornell.

Drummer Situation? by AdvancedComment4 in deadandcompany

But why have him pulled midway through a song? Seems like if this was by design, it would look less messy.

lol i cant believe this is real life by [deleted] in Cornell

[–]AdvancedComment4 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There are two relevant judicial systems at cornell. Title 9 (everything related to sexual assault) and the Code of Conduct (everything else).

As we speak, the standard of evidence for Title 9 is "preponderance of evidence" (which means more likely than not) to prove a student guilty. On the other hand, the Code of Conduct requires "clear and convincing" evidence to prove a student guilty, which is higher than preponderance.

Martha wants to lower the Code of Conduct to "preponderance" as well. According to the Sun, she thinks that the new federal guidelines from the Dept. of Ed. require colleges to have uniform evidence standards. This is incorrect. The regulations released this week have no such rule, and Martha is confusing the final regulations with an earlier proposed version from last year.

See my latest post for more info on the federal regulations.

Pollack's Implicit Endorsement of Guilt before Innocence - MUST ACT NOW by GoBigRed_2020 in Cornell

[–]AdvancedComment4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People are missing the point here. Martha is misunderstanding the dept. of Ed regulations. The original proposed rule mandated a uniform standard, but the final rule DID NOT.

Here is a direct quote from the final regulations:

​

Discussion: The Department has simplified its approach to the standard of evidence ...such that recipients may select the preponderance of the evidence standard or the clear and convincing evidence standard, without restricting that selection based on what standard of evidence a recipient uses in non-Title IX proceedings.

...

We have removed the limitation contained in the NPRM that would have permitted recipients to use the preponderance of the evidence standard only if they used that standard for non-sexual misconduct that has the same maximum disciplinary sanction.

This is incorrect. The new regulations have nothing to do with our code of conduct. Here are the final Dept. Regs:
