Last week Los Angeles Penn alumni gathered in Hollywood to celebrate some great emerging Penn talent.
The night was filled with some dirty good comedy from host DJ Lubel (C'05) and great original music, improv, inspiring monologues, some over the top characters, a belting rendition of The National Anthem, and of course, a must-see musical(!) bit from the Bloomers alumni about what it means NOT to be Jewish at Penn. (hysterical!)
After the jump, check out some photos and videos from the night!
And congrats to Jeni Sue Birnbaum (C'08), Aimee Musil (C'06), Allison Karic (C'09), and EJ Baker (C'09) for putting together a spectacular event!

Here's another DT "blast from the past" story you'll all enjoy.
Alumni from the 90s and earlier might remember Murphy's Tavern (aka "Murphs") on the corner of 44th and Spruce streets. You'll remember the pitcher of alcohol, the jukebox, the basement and of course the "see you in church" greeting you got from Murph himself when you left the place.
And for those of you not in the know, after many years of surprising liquor-law violations, Murphs shut down in 1998.
But that doesn't mean our memories of the place have gone.
Or does it?
Recently, Noah Sferra (C'96) our 2011 alumni weekend DT correspondent hit the class of 1996 tents to see if after 15 years since graduating, Penn alumni would remember "what was in a Murph's Skylab". Remember? That big pitcher full of alcoholic goodness you'd get for $5 - $10 that you'd split with your table.
After the jump find out the various and entertaining answers we got from alumni. Some may surprise you!
Also of note in these videos was Noah's response to a fellow alum, "I woke up your son and spilled a whole beer in your purse." Some things never change.

Over the past year, I've covered Emily and her experiment where she didn't serve herself an actual meal, but ate whatever her 3 kids left behind on their plates.
Emily is that mother; you know, the one who avoids chemicals, minimizes food waste, shops locally, fears sugar, hides from corn byproducts, and tries to convince her son that lemonade is not a fruit. Don’t even get her started on BPAs. Six years after making her first batch of muffins, she’s not just pureeing squash and baking bread. She’s forming little lumps of chicken-apple-spinach mush into nuggets, coating them in homemade breadcrumbs, and lovingly brushing them with olive oil. She is poised on the edge of craziness, unless she toppled in last Tuesday. In her recently released fifty-page memoir, Cooking on the Edge of Insanity
, Rosenbaum shares recipes and tells the tale of living sustainably while cooking for a family of five. Don’t bother to tell her she’s nuts. She already knows.
After the jump, check out what happens when she takes her three children to the grocery store and ends up developing a new couscous recipe.

Over the past few years, DT has followed the great journey Brian Yanish (C'95, Mask and Wig) has been taking with his his Scrap Kins childrens property.
What started out as a few sketches from Brian's childhood has turned into a NYC-based Creativity program for kids based on the adventures of a group of monsters that live in a recycling center and build their world out of the things we throw away.
For you parents and educators out there, after the jump find out about Brian's fantastic new book that will keep your children occupied for hours.
