Tonight at NYU: Hanson Defines Failure For a New Generation
Plummet into obscurity today--the Hanson way!
From the "Holy Shit, I Thought We Deported Their Asses" file, The Reeler just caught wind of the event to end all events--if only for the attendees whose eyes liquefy into smoky streams of high-fructose acid:

The band Hanson will be visiting your school on Oct. 27th to screen their self-produced documentary titled Strong Enough To Break at The Cantor Film Center (36 E 8th St) beginning at 6pm. Directly after the film the band will be doing a question and answer. The documentary discusses the collision of art and commerce and the current state of the music industry.
We would like your help making sure your students attend the documentary screening via telling them in class about the screening, emailing the students and or offering extra credit if they attend.
We have received a great deal of positive feedback from professors at major colleges nationwide over the last few weeks. USC is going to integrate the documentary into their curriculum. Majors specifically associated with business (hanson runs their own record label and is the same age as your student body), communications, journalism, music and film will benefit from this event.
Hold it--I thought people went to schools like USC and NYU so they would not wind up like Hanson. Did I miss the higher education paradigm shift that encourages obsolete, androgynous child stars as professional role models? Shit, I'd better get dressed.
