performance in Bryan Jr. Auditorium by using his "sixth sense" to
predict thoughts and futures of audience members through various
routines.
"I thought he was wonderful," said junior Natalie Smith. "I was on
the edge of my seat waiting for him to tell me my fortune."
Outside, the blue, green and yellow flames of Dluminaughty fire
performers entranced passersby in front of Milner Hall and entertained
crowds of students waiting for Serendipity's first concert to begin.
As the clock struck midnight, hoards of serendipitous party people
flocked to the Founders Lobby, where Midnight Breakfast greeted them.
Diligent Meriwether Godsey staff members continually replenished the
piles of French toast sticks, scrambled eggs, donuts, sticky buns and
assorted fruits that hungry students attacked until the wee hours of the
morning. And then, of course, there was bacon.
"Bacon is the most amazing piece of meat I've ever had," said senior
Darius Verdell.
Then on Saturday, with the sun at high noon and the storm clouds
at bay, the third and final day of festivities commenced with tlie
Serendipity Street Fair by the lake.
Local music artists supplied the soundtrack to a flurry of activity:
students made tutus with Expressions in Dance, potted seedlings with
Slow Foods, wielded baguettes with Fencing Club, shared secrets on
postcards with Active Minds, tie-dyed t-shirts and painted bandanas
with theme houses, and so much more.
"It was fun setting up the tie-dye station and
letting Guilford go crazy with it," said sophomore
Keenan Lorenzato, a member of FLANNEL
House. "It seemed that all types of Guilford
students showed up for the fair — enjoying
the events, sun, music and hanging out with
everyone. Why can't Guilford be like that
every weekend?"
As the shadows lengthened, some students
savored pepperoni and cheese pizza slices on
Founders patio, others busted moves in the
Bryan quad.
"(The dance party) was slow at first,
but then ... more people came, and it
was like crazy madness," said junior
Thomas Kerr. "It was a whole lot of
fun."
And in the weeks to come, when
we see body glitter still clinging to
everything we own, our hearts and
our vacuums will remember this
serendipitous feeling.

For the entire weekend,
most of Guilford College
campus was filled with
music (including) two of
the best concerts in recent
Serendipity history: the
trance and electronic
sound of Wowser Bowser
and RJD2 on Friday night
and the funk and blues
rock styles of Africa
Unplugged and Holy Ghost
Tent Revival on Saturday
night.

laughter as they enjoy the street fair. Despite
thunderstorm warnings, the rain held off
until Saturday night, which allowed for
traditional Serendipity festivities such
as cornhole, baguette fencing
and live music to fill the
afternoon.
