For anyone who ever questioned why Ludacris chose to play at Duke... this is for you. Recess reveals the craziest, most contradictory occurrences. Did anyone else notice:
*Dean Sue ushering for Ludacris in shiny white pearls? Only Duke. The only thing cooler would have been if Larry Moneta had been bling blingin'.
* Abercrombie & Fitch-clad Dukies clutching Coach purses thuggin' it out with ghetto-fabulous dance moves. "Wait...this isn't a Dave Matthews concert?!"
* How much Carolina blue Ludacris' back-up dancers were sporting? Personally, we liked the Spongebob Squarepants shirt.
* The most mismatched outfit at the show: a "Ludacris, Make me a woman." T-shirt and a Louis Vuitton purse.
* The loudest the audience cheered during the opening act was in response to a reference to the basketball team. Hey, this is Duke, after all.
*"Blah-blah-blah-HO-blah-blah-AREA CODES-blah-blah-GOODNIGHT!" The acoustics in Cameron left a little something to be desired. It was sort of like accidentally buying the album's censored version--or the foreign language equivalent.
