I can't believe this is for real

I just received this email.

At noon today in front of H.C. White Hall, WKOW-TV (ABC) will be filming a performance by library school students who have created a Book Cart Drill Team.

It is, in fact, serious business.

They just won a national competition at the American Library Association Convention in Chicago this week. The nine library school students and a staff member acting as choreographer organized a Book Cart Drill Team in just six weeks this summer. They competed against more than a dozen other teams, some of which have been performing for years.

The choreography and gymnastic moves include break dancing, an Irish dance, and back flips in a precision four-minute drill with spinning book carts. The team is performing in an exclusive show for WKOW, and all are welcome.

Record a running commentary of the event and then post an audio blog!

Why didn't we think of this when we were in school? It would've been more stimulating that the issues discussions w/ some of our classmates. Let's make our own music video. We can call it 'Serials Girl' and rearrange the lyrics to Madonna's 'Material Girl'. I, of course, will star.

It goes against my better judgement, but I must admit that that is clever.

YAY for the crackhead!!
