 Pop guitarist-singer Howie Day played Penn’s Irvine Auditorium over the weekend, which probably had Irvine himself rolling in his grave. (Note: We’re not really sure who Irvine is, but we assume it’s the dude who Irvine Auditorium is named after.)
Twelve hundred students made the trek to the eastern edge of Penn’s campus to watch Howie Day and opening act Brandi Carlile croon their not-quite-hit songs. There was, however, some trouble:
One audience-member shouted “You suck” at Carlile after one of her songs, eliciting cheers of support for the artist from the rest of the crowd.
“Except for that one asshole, everyone was really nice,” Carlile said after her performance.
College freshman Stephanie Searles left after Carlile’s performance because of the the extensive transition time between musicians.
“We watched the girl completely sing and she was okay, but we didn’t really expect her to be there,” Searles said. “Afterwards, we waited for about 20 minutes and then we left at 9:15, which was about an hour and a half after it started.”
Penn kids: still trying to comprehend the “opening act.”
