The Harvard Society of Black Scientists and Engineers (HSBSE)’s annual “No Half Steppin’ Benefit Step Show’s” after-party in Lowell Sunday, Oct. 28 was quite a riot, literally. Here’s FM’s 15 top fouls from the event.
1. Chairs and tables aren’t meant to be thrown across dining halls.
2. Also, you’re not supposed to dance on the chairs and tables.
3. Oh, and you’re not supposed to throw people either.
4. Bad taste: The DJ played “Knuck if you Buck.”
5. The K-9 team made an appearance. Nothing like a German Shepherd to get a party started.
6. Knucking.
7. Miscounting: HSBSE let too many people in. 400? Aren’t they engineers?
8. The Step Show was just so good that the partygoers felt the need to try out some moves. Not a smart idea if the place is packed already.
9. Inappropriate touching: never start a sentence with, “I was trying to grab somebody to dance with me…”
10. Bucking.
11. Letting in non-Harvardians: guess a college ID isn’t selective enough these days.
12. Indecisiveness: Partygoers didn’t want to leave, until they saw the 20-something cop cars waiting outside. Then they ran.
13. Yelling at the police? Not a good idea.
14. Trying to dance with the police? Definitely not a good idea.
15. “Time to go!”
