It's Back: PENNFEST 2007 (L.A.)!: Seeking Submissions (Films/Bands): DUE AUG. 24


Now in it's 6th year, I'm excited to announce Pennfest 2007! ...the Emerging Film and Live Music Showcase for Penn Alumni, Students & Faculty!

With the help of my committee, I created this event back in 2002 which celebrates undergrads and alumni who are "emerging". Each year, we plan a fantastic night where Los Angeles Penn alumni and friends enjoy live music performed by Penn Alumni and clips from selected films in which Penn Alumni/undergrads acted, directed or produced. ..It's also a great networking night!

Over the years, 20 bands and 80 films have been showcased in Pennfest!

Penn's 365 Dance Group gets their "sexy" on


Watching the 365 Dance Group makes me wonder why I never went to see a dance show at Penn. This group has got the moves.

The way this video was shot kind of reminds me of the show "Solid Gold" (in a good way). ...This video is leaps and bounds more professional compared to how video of performing arts shows (i.e. the Mask and Wig shows I was in) were shot and edited when I was at Penn.

Penn goes Chic!: Hotties on Campus

Okay, so I'm realizing more and more everyday that there are probably 500 groups/organizations (if not more) at Penn. ...This is a good thing. Everyone has a voice and an interest and it's great to see that manifest itself on campus.

On that note, have you heard of the Penn Fashion Group? Not sure whether these are actually Penn students, but they're hot and so are the clothes.

Wharton undergrad Puneet Singh (W'08) prefers the spotlight

While I have been reporting much on Penn alumni doing lots of great things, unsuprisingly, there are already many accomplished undergrads making waves as well. Puneet Singh is one of those undergrads.

Although he is currently interning in banking at Goldman Sachs this summer, Wharton undergrad Puneet Singh (W'08, '08 Class President and Indian Dance Troupe Dhamaka member) has a yearning for the spotlight.

In addition to appearing on an episode of Law & Order, he has appeared numerous times on Comedy Central's Colbert Report, as Stephen Colbert's "Sikh friend". To round out this Wharton undergrad, Puneet performs stand-up focusing his act on his conservative upbringing as the child of Indian immigrants in Ohio.

Keep up the good work, Puneet!
