Big Vassar Turnout At Summer Stage

Lots of Vassar students braved the thunderstorm today to see Vampire Weekend at Central Park's Summer Stage. Kid Sister and Born Ruffians, who performed at Founder's Day, also took the stage.

At one point, the concert organizers announced that the concert would be ending early because of the weather. An hour and a half later though, Vampire Weekend took the stage. They played all of the material from their album, plus one new song and a Tom Petty cover (featuring the event's host Andrew W.K.).

"Well, we've made it through this shit show," Ezra Koenig said to the soaked crowd before closing with "Walcott."
