Wow. Simply wow.
The iLL-Literacy concert was an event to truly remember and for those who came to watch them on November 1st at the College of William & Mary, it is without a doubt that all of the audience members left the auditorium with one of the sickest, freshest performances this campus has to offer.
So where did it all begin?
Jessica Wu and I attended ECAASU last year at Cornell University and iLL-Literacy was one of the performers for that massive event. Suffice to say, I loved every minute of it, from the hiliarious "Text Messaging" to the brutal "Self-Hatred's Soliloquy"
I also need to make a note that after iLL-Literacy finished their performance, a friend and I snuck backstage and got a picture with them as well as getting all of their autographs. That was tight. But going on with the story...
About half a year later, little did I know that the formerly known UCAB was bringing iLL-Literacy to the College of William & Mary. Since Jessica Wu was also the co-president of ASC and the fact that many of their members are of Asian descent, it made sense to have a co-sponsorship with ASC. Along with the Office of Multicultural Affairs, IPAX (the International Performance Arts eXchange) was brought onboard and had the permission to create an opener for the event. Everything was in place.
Since I'm writing this nearly 3 months after the event happened, I can say that the audience participation was not as high as we had expected. But the more important thing is that the people who did attend, everyone loved it and after the show, all of us could not wait to get the performers' autographs and talk with them in general.
What was even better was that the group wanted a place to hang out and have fun, and eventually Michael Paik, our very own ASC treasurer, agreed to host the party at his place. Suffice to say, good times were to be had by all who were able to come.
