Day Twenty-Eight: Night and Daisy


McCollum Hall sits high atop Daisy Hill in Lawrence with its four companion residence halls (Templin, Lewis, Hashinger and Ellsworth) providing a landmark of the University of Kansas campus viewable by drivers along the K-10 Highway from miles outside of town.

I wasn't sure what my "pic of the day" would be today, and as I made my way to Murphy Hall to hoard a practice room and play a little piano, I noticed the patchwork of McCollum's lit windows standing out against the dark night sky.

McCollum, the largest of the residence halls on Daisy Hill (which is a short, but steep walk down and up from Mt. Oread where the majority of KU classes are held) hosts a lot of social activities, including outdoor movies, dances, and even the occasional battle-of-the-bands...which may or may not have been won by yours truly (and his bandmates who made the roadtrip from Minnesota) back in the undergrad years.

Word to the wise: "American Pie" makes for a great encore!
