Back in the day when Hopkins was daring, the free-loving Spring Fair was a way for the campus and community to let loose and go crazy. The disco queens of the '70s, new wavers of the '80s and grunge rockers of the '90s made the student-run, three-day festival the talk of the town - for better or for worse.

Random holographic stickers flashing band names such as "The Jesus Lizard" line the walls of McCoy in the hidden offices of WJHU, Hopkins student-run Internet radio station.

Here is our inexperienced, but entirely unbiased, layman's take (no hate-mail please -- it's just an opinion):1. Adam Lareau - Going Places, Doing Things

The day after Thanksgiving, I battled through a turkey-and-stuffing-and-pumpkin-pie-induced stomachache to make my way to the mall. I had a coupon for a free cashmere scarf with purchase at Express if I got there between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m.
