ding dong

By anders pearson 30 May 2002

the big head honcho of all the different new media / learning initiatives at Columbia is leaving to go be president of Arizona State. so tonight we had a big fancy dinner to say goodbye. really expensive catering, excellent food and an open bar.

<p>afterwards one of my coworkers mentioned that he was going to a bar on 105th and columbus ave called &#8216;ding dong&#8217; that he said was a punk bar and invited a few of us to come along. so we did and sure enough, a mere two blocks from my apartment is a little hole-in-the-wall type place (although it&#8217;s actually fairly spacious on the inside) that plays punk rock, and has walls covered with graffiti and U.K. Subs, Exploited, and Mot&ouml;rhead posters. </p>

<p>so i&#8217;m ecstatic about the discovery but i must hang my head in shame for living here so long and never noticing it (to be fair, it isn&#8217;t exactly very distinctive from the outside).</p>
