Only the future will tell.

F15 studies hard, but not alone. Situated comfortably in the center of the F15 academic all-stars: Wass.

and after the show it's the...wait...what happened?

Rewind to sound check, Friday night, 10PM...

confidence: lost.

What felt like a precursor to a huge FAIL of a show turned out to be...meaningless.

The show was phenomenal. The boys pulled it together and delivered one hell of a (thankfully short) 3 show weekend with HUGE gross profit.

But who really cares about that...you only sat through the show so you could get to the after-party.

Wait...after party? What after party?

The boys were once again ditched by former Sweetheart/current homegurlz -not for Asterik this time - for a TOMMY cast party. Even hugely devoted homegurl Tray left to get some mac at an acting party...has F15 lost their mojo?

Waa-Poo cleared out most of the freshman class and the rest of the guys seemed to poop out early.

What's happening F15?! We have absolutely noting juicy to report and well...we're just plain disappointed.

For shame...for shame...

Tech Week

It's that time of year again...


With half the group in the throes of rehearsals for winter shows and the rest of the group left to twiddle their thumbs for the better part of an hour, it's only a matter of time before the metaphorical *shotgun-blast-to-face* becomes more than just CrAzY lEgZ way of showing his disapproval towards someone's antics. Probably T-bagg's. Or Karate Kid's.

We're not pointing fingers. But we are pointing our jazz hands.


I'll tell you one thing: We're prepped and ready for the after party. Gotta love those boys in green.

oh, so that's how you get mono.

Soundcheck went off without a hitch...but was that what you really cared about?

NO! So onto the REAL deal...

All you need to know:

Friday - Kissin n' Coloring. If you missed this one, fate hates you.

Saturday - Boystown, Taco Bell, PLounge, Floor. Those state schools had nothing on us.

Sunday - Minishpiz has a birthday...we ALL have a birthday. Crawl out the back door.

But that's not so juicy...so who wins for the most epic weekend? I have to say it's a tie ladies...I couldn't possibly deface this page with all the gossip we have, and you don't have the time (or the heart) to read it. Let's just say when Monday night has to be canceled, you KNOW good stuff happened.

So follow the boys more closely next weekend, because we're letting them off the hook for this one.

Shout out to Liebo.

SOUNDCHECK

Capture the Flag

Ever played it?

You might find out it's a little more intense than you remember. We suggest you avoid the fistfight and stick to Flashlight Tag.

Now there's a game for all ages.

V.I.Please

What was once a collection of only the most dedicated F15 fans has turned into an all-out brawl to get through the door.

Doubling the usual attendance of last year, popularity of the event has spread like a California wildfire simply by word of mouth...word of freshman mouth.

Don't get us wrong girls, that Forever 21 blouse looks really cute on you and your cleavage looks fine but...see, the thing is...you weren't invited. To compensate for the tsunami of wannabe-groupies, the PLounge has had to place a cover charge on Monday nights.

In short: Sweethearts, we miss you. No future beauty will live up to what you have set as a precedent.

Predictions for the future of Monday nights: Blacklisting, blacklisting, blacklisting.

Woo-Hoo WashU!

F15 will once again be traveling to Washington University in beloved St. Louis this coming November to perform once again with the Greenleafs.

...with the loss of an entire tenor section....

It's official

Tonight brings the first OFFICIAL Monday Night Beirut of the new year!!

The theme: Purple Pride.

Why? Because it's easy, so stop your bitching and wear a goddamn purple shirt.

VIP invitations have been sent...let the blacklisting begin.

Celebrity Profile: WC

Did this blog just get really cute?

Most of you probably know and love his older brother, but this little guy is kicking it up a notch...vocally.

Entering the competitive realm of Tenor 2, WC rose to the challenge immediately. He broke hearts with his rendition of Billy Joel's "Lullaby" and continues to make even the likes of O'Dessey guffaw in adoration. No icey heart is immune to his cuteness.

But don't be fooled ladies. He's a bad boy at heart.

WC was once the leader of a motorcycle gang in southern California.

"That was a rough time for me. I lived in constant fear, and mangled more faces than I can count on the 4 fingers I have left. Once I was placed in the witness protection program after a reenactment of the street race from Grease went wrong...I knew I had to clean my life up. That's when I turned to a cappella."

and a cappella was waiting with arms held wide.

Celebrity Profile: Zorrow

Could the group possibly handle another blonde bombshell?

Rounding out the revamped baseline of F15, Zorrow hails from White Plains, NY. But we knew him way back when he created quite a splash with one particular F15 Sweetheart during his visit last year.

See...doesn't he look familiar? You probably remember him from that summer you spent on the sofa eating ice cream at noon while watching your favorite soap opera As The World Turns.

Let's just say he knows which way the party is.

Zorrow doesn't just sing - he's also a gifted beatboxer and learned to lay a beat years before he could talk. In a recent interview with the Chicago Sun Times, Zorrow reported,

"Growing up as a deaf child, I used to communicate through beatboxing. My parents knew which beats stood for 'I pooped' and which stood for 'Shut up Mom, you're being a bitch'. When I regained my speech and hearing at age 13, I knew I had a place in the a cappella world. Being in F15 is a miracle."

We think so too.

Celebrity Profile: Bestus

The angels speak through him
and they sing, "Hallelujah!"

Yes, there's a touch of Rocktapus in there somewhere, and Bestus is here to claim his spot as the new high(er and higher)rising vocalist.

A former child star "punk", Bestus precedes future NU hopefuls and close friends Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez.

"I wish them the best of luck," says Bestus, "but I'm not sure they're capable of anything as epic as getting into [F15]".

As a future Oscar winner, Bestus hopes to simply relax for now and be the best student he can be. With his unbeatable blonde locks and heartbreaking smile, well...move over Karate Kid...this one will have no trouble accomplishing anything.

and sorry ladies...he's taken.

Celebrity Profile: Minishpiz

His style: impeccable
His humor: rib cracking

Minishpiz enters the group with a lot to live up to. The brother of former F15 member Daddy, Minishpiz showed up with an equally sultry voice and a style all his own. Already a favorite of former Sweethearts and Homegurlz, his preceding relationship with the group continues to grow daily.

Once a former boy band heartthrob, he arrives at NU to give the Perf. Studies department an appropriately nerdy yet edgy quality.

When asked about his entrance into F15, Minishpiz was rumored as saying, "Why I think this might be the greatest achievement of my lifetime."

and watch out for this one ladies...he's a charmer.

just a friendly reminder

This group is for the soul entertainment and indulgence of F15 and their closest fans/admirers.

We are fully aware that this blog may be both inappropriate and witty.

Most of the events are misconstrued and completely true, as told in our own skewed perspective.

For those who are offended by what we write...and by "we", I mean one person...we apologize and ask that you read this blog instead.

The New Hotness Has Arrived

After a passionate evening, F15 managed to select 4 lucky freshman boys to complete their group.

But it didn't stop there...F15 still had to battle it out on the pref sheets and hope that those chosen few had chosen them as well.

...and that they did.

For the first time in years of F15 history, the boys have managed to snag their entire Alpha list - a feat rarely accomplished by a cappella groups.

The winners?

Bestus, WC, Zorrow, and Minishpiz (yeah, that one's Jewish.)

This is the year of the F15.

Day 1 Done

F15 "warm-up" Thursday audition spots garnered quite an impressive showing.

While few auditions were given, those that were turned out to be surprisingly...above average.

Will this give F15 an all-too-hopeful ear causing them to nix those who may be perfect for the group? Or will they fall into old habits and select a callback group of 100.

Whatever happens,

We'll be watching.

"You totally would have won"

Last night at A Cappella Fest 2009, a member of a rival group was quoted as saying, "If this were a competition, [F15] totally would have won."

and we couldn't agree more.

While the night started off with the best performance SigO has ever given (considering the loss of vital member Miss Green) and another arousing yet yawning performance from your favorite (wo)men in black, it wasn't until the opening of the second act that the house was (almost literally) brought down.

The boys did what they did best and the crowd went WILD! The only a cappella group of the night to have signs made for them could have only received better response by being placed as a first act closer...before those pesky intermission exits.

Afterward, PHaze buckled down with an always tear-jerking JPark standard and some help from alumna JKroll. We don't quite understand what it's like to lose so many crucial voices in one year, but we sympathize deeply. And while some may have been praying for a slip up, the Haze delivered a perfect sound. Once they regain mass (and that stunning Shate) we're sure they'll be back to normal.

After that...well...who really stayed after that?

Once the show was over, the line began for sign ups and masses crowded to join the F15 legacy.

But auditions start today and we're skeptical of the talent the 2013 class has brought. Will the boys be able to find the illustrious few worthy of the green? Will crowd favorite JShpiz find both talent and nepotism on his side?

Whatever happens,

We'll be watching.

DIY

We're back from Ohio, and we've learned a few things.

Can't get those pesky bathroom doors open? NO PROBLEM! Here are a few helpful tips form our own BOOYAH!

1. Find a wall you like (preferably near a window) in the master bedroom of a rented house on the lake that someone's family has so generously rented for you.

2. Whip it out and let loose. Doesn't it feel good to empty out that 40?

3. Wipe your hands all over the blinds...this will cleanse them of any bacteria that may have splashed upon them.

4. DON'T FORGET TO FLUSH!! Pull that chord and raise those blinds. See that moonlight?! That signals that it is indeed 5:30 a.m. and you have just relieved yourself on the white plush California berber.

There you are kids! You'll never have to hold it again!

We're Back

Dear Readers,

Over the past few months, we regret that our emotions of an ending year and falling of the Rocktapus era got the better of us.

If it were appropriate, I would fill you in on the epic never-ending drama and debauchery that even Homer's Illiad and O'dessey combined can't live up to.

However, what's past is past

but what hasn't passed is Ohio and the upcoming New Student Week Auditions that promise to be the most competitive in F15 history.

So stay tuned because this year we're not letting anything slide.

Hold on to your egos boys. From here on out, we're taking back the blog.

tell your friends or we will,

<3

Prepping for Ohio

Let's Do it.




ILU
LOL

With friends like these, who needs clothes?

So, thanks to our determined Social Chair, Beirut at the PLounge has started up again, leaving us all to wonder just what shenanigans these boys can conjure up.

...Well, we didn't have to wait very long.


After a rather quaint number of party-goers arrived (including the newly dubbed Whore), a couple epic games and a little Britney, the party had died down to the final few guests. And at 2am, with only 6 people left, what would you expect to happen?


Wait. Let us guess. Perhaps the scenario would go something like this:


Snapz: If you both make the same cup, we'll go on a naked run
Bubbles: Damn straight
Jweb and Robinson Crusoe: *sink same cup*
Snapz and Bubbles: ......

When all was said and done, there were half a dozen streakers, including a friendly guest no one invited. But you'll have to ask Snapz about that one. trust me. That story alone is a mouthful.


Until next time, stay fresh. Or a man. Or 15. Whichever floats your boat

-L.O'L

No...Maybe...I don't know!

Try to remember last weekend...start on Thursday...GO!

Bet you couldn't do it.
That's ok. We couldn't either.

With the first ever visit of Snow Cream Girl, one would think F15 would be on the BP BALL! However, it was a close save of the night.

The boys pulled through and earned the love of the prettiest girl in Michigan...spreading their fan base and recruiting other Mitten Love beauties to attend Boat Show.

Almost all of the VIPs were in attendance, and F15 continues to make the event better every week! Just imagine where they'll be by June!

The rest of the weekend becomes more of a blur. Rocktapus, Gameboy and Bubbles all worked their thangs at Danceworks after a strenuous language-barrier dinner had by Snow Cream, O'Dessey, Miss Green, Slutkin B. and gang.

Many reconvened for the Waa-Who? fest at the Cove but...we couldn't even begin to explain and that is not our area to blog...yet.

All we have to say is...keep it up. Some of you only have 3 months left and we will not take "no" for an answer.

A Night With Seuss

Spotted: F15 does Seuss.

Sexual Innuendo? Possibly. There definitely was an attempt by CrazyLegs to get the crowd to clap on the off beat. LO'L pointed this out to him...and to the rest of the audience. Somebody needs to turn the dB's down on that boy.

Shout out to T-Bagg and Bubbles for making the appearance something to imbibe. We have no doubts they thoroughly enjoyed drinking in the experience.

As for Snapz...he was just a damn mess. After a brawl with the Cat in the Hat and a rather heated exchange of words with Horton, he was subdued by the rest of the cast and physically ejected from the audience, all the meanwhile shouting a number of expletives criticizing Dr. Seuss' affinity for making up words just so that the lines rhyme. We feel you, Snapz. We feel you.
















I hope this has successfully diverted everyone's attention from the libelous statements of the previous post.

Unacceptable Acceptable Behavior

It was brought to our attention, as if we didn't know, that there was no blog posting to dish the dirt on last Saturday's after-show soiree.

When there's nothing to blog about, what do you expect us to write?

Sadly, the group was extremely appropriate and displayed what we refer to as "unacceptable acceptable behavior".

Ok ok...LO'L did spend quite a bit of time in the lower-level facilities and...wait...where did Q go? She had to potty too? Does everybody have to go at the same time?
...Not sure we believe that story...
but we do hope KMc did get to brush her teeth.

So we say TRY HARDER NEXT TIME kids. This group is fastly losing our interest.

But WAIT! There appears to be a Sweetheart Summit this evening...Apples to Appletinis? Our favorite color. Let's see if these ladies can redeem last weekend and give us something to talk about.

Don't wait up for us.

Showoff!

The boys kicked off the weekend of shows last night with an acceptable crowd turnout.

Who's that sitting VIP in front row?
JHo, Yenta, and boo Ray were SO elite, they blocked off the five chairs to their left so they wouldn't have to sit by anybody. (My kind of crowd.)

<---Best cameo of the night!

The skits started off slow, but let's be honest, those boys just have to stand there and we'll enjoy them. Things picked up FAST, and overall this was an impressive Thursday show - and can we say PERFECT LENGTH!? Just over an hour is all the a cappella we need!

We can't wait to "See You Again" Saturday boys!

Make sure to get there early...these shows will undoubtedly fill to capacity.

<3 Go Green!
- We

SHOUT OUT!

To Daddy T-Bagg for visiting the boys at rehearsal tonight. What a guy! He participated more than Odessey!

And big thanks to Mrs. T-Bagg for the delicious Banana Bread. Mmm Mmm Good!

Spotted

In the reference section of the library:

Snow Cream, Rocktapus, Slutkin B.
and the ever lovely Miss Green.

Watch out Sweethearts - looks like this girl wants to be EXCLUSIVE.

Defy thy Mother

What do you do when it's 6 o'clock and you still don't have plans for the night? Throw a party!

...or at least attempt to...

We'll hand it to Snow Cream for trying to throw together a special event...trying to play in the Big Leagues?
But O'Dessey was hosting an exclusive party of his own. Sure, he left the last major F15 event early and passed on JHo's soiree of sweethearts, but really? Track record down.

Then of course half of the VIP list was attending some musical about Communist China while Miss Green scrambled to assist in event planning while Slutkin B. wussed out, Booya passed to head North, Bubbles ignored it completely and Vahj? Where was he?

Apparently you can rent rooms by the hour at NU.

But like anything involving even ONE member of F15, this too would persevere, and with an impressive list of guests.

In order of seating from Top Left clockwise: Miss Green, Ray, Yenta, JHo, Tray, Some girl, T-Bagg, LO'L, Snow Cream and Rocktapus (who thought the event was so important he took the tags off he jacket).

Oh yeah...Vahj? and KShare showed up at 2:12 a.m. We really weren't kidding about by the hour.

The party commenced in the wee hours of the morning and ended in...wait...Rocktapus...are you moaning? Well, we think that was a hug.

Just another weekend in the fabulous lives.

<3 Always watching, always blogging. <3

Cause for Celebration

A new F15 Sweetheart has been christened: Yenta.

The new beauty made such a fine showing in her first days that she skyrocketed straight to "The Only Five", a most coveted position including a list of the finest ladies of Northwestern.

Her downfall? Ray. Yes, that's right, this lady is taken boys and - as expected - by one of Chicago's finest. But we accept his presence on the scene and hope to see a lot more of this spicy duo.

Spotted

T-Bagg, Slutkin B., Booya, Snow Cream and Bubbles made an appearance at the MEOW! show last night.

Standing room only? No problem. It was a perfect angle to be seen and heard by all.


and who was that gorgeous vision in yellow with them?

Weekend Warriors

F15 made the most of their long weekend.

F15 sweetheart JHo was sweet enough to ask some of the boys over Saturday to meet her newest roommate Chloe. But with Karate Kid in attendance, the cuteness factor was too high and Chloe was retired to the bedroom.

Sunday night brought an important rehearsal for the men of F15 - the show theme!
F15 Saves the Economy is the ambitious new idea for the February show. Tackling such an original theme was only one challenge. F15 will also have to work around Gone Greek Night and has chosen to cancel Friday shows. Make sure you plan to see the boys Thursday (Feb. 5) at 10 p.m. or Saturday (Feb. 7) at 7/10 p.m. As always, actually READ the fliers to make sure you are going at an appropriate time. If you don't, Karate Kid says you're stupid.

After the key rehearsal, the boys reintroduced themselves to the PLounge. We think the event was one of their most successful and attribute it to the timeless theme of Mr. Westen himself. When Rocktapus is involved, one can be sure the night will be good. All of the F15 sweethearts made an appearance (but where the hell was Brown?) and the boys outdid themselves. The night/morning ended at BK of course, to celebrate MLK Jr.'s special day.

We hope all made it home safely...because let's be honest...we don't remember.

There's No Place Like...McTrib?

Last night the boys were seen performing at Vahj?'s "A Night in Oz". 

Really, it was more of a night in McTrib with those people who shout "have my babies" and the same humor you hear every time you walk into a room of assorted theatre folk forcing you to pay $5 for some pieced-together-event to support them on their quest to produce misguided art.

But hey, who are we to judge? In all seriousness, we were quite impressed with the event. Every group sounded better than we've heard them before and F15 is reportedly extremely proud of Vahj?'s producing techniques. 

SigO kicked it off with an impressive start: F15 Sweetheart Miss Green leaving us breathless once again. PHaze stopped taking themselves so seriously, and the Undertones looked surprisingly good in yellow. Though we do regret missing THUNK's presentation of stolen songs, we did manage to see F15 rock the house in a way only our boys can.

After party please? Some of the boys spent the wee hours of the morning breaking a cappella barriers at Thundertones. Remember when F15 had social events?

Look for the boys hitting the town Sunday night to black out in honor of the holiday weekend. A special alumni guest will be in attendance, so we know they'll have a good time.

Return of the Green-Guys: 2009

What's the best thing about the Holiday break being over?

A: Your favorite F15-ers are already infiltrating Evanston once more.

Preparations for the big Fall Show in Winter (February 5-7) will go underway this coming week. No time can be wasted on what promises to be a show of epic proportions. But do you expect anything less from F15?!

The gang will be reunited in a few short days the best way they know how - celebration. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROCKTAPUS!

Get excited ladies and gentleman. 2009 is about to go down F15 style.
