More than 100 people stood in the rain to watch the new kind of entertainment at Georgetown. The act caught people's attention for reasons other than its raunchiness. It grabbed the attention of many students because it wasn't your average Georgetown event. The act wasn't subdued like an appearance by the Chimes. The beauty and large turnout of the event, in fact, lay within the fact that it was neither subdued nor refined.
Some students are tired of the standard fare that the university has to offer.
According to organizers, administrators were upset about the controversial nature of the event. But the event wasn't intended for administrators, and the students who attended, for the most part, seemed to be having fun. With all due respect to the administration, the purpose of a university is to provide a forum for as many forms of expression as possible, not just the ones that are universally palatable. Prospective students visiting Georgetown Friday must have had a different impression of the university when they saw the performance. If so, it was for the better.
