As a current student, the best part of alumni weekend was seeing how awesome I'm going to be in 30 years. This was cemented at the Big Bash, Alumni and Homecoming Weekend's great coming-together of new and old students in the name of having a blast and eating great food.

Parading some of the best talent IC has seen, the Big Bash featured performances from IC Circus (leotards, slightly awkward; skills, beyond reproach), past and present bands Bombermania and Caution Children, IC Comedy (it would be a crime here not to mention that Joe Pera kills, and could hold his own against any professional comedian), and some of the best damn food I've had catered on campus in my stay here.

Other than a place to show off how wildly talented Ithaca College students are, the Big Bash was a great place to connect. The lovely "man handshake with back slap" could be seen far and wide, connecting old classmates, current students, and mixes of the two in a beautiful harmony of useful networking and jolly guffawing.

Whether you graduated in 87' or were born in 87', it was a good time all around. Benn Bartishevich and Tom Walker provide some insight on what made their Alumni Weekend great.
