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!
