When I walked out of my Western Literature class today I noticed a mass of people, lights and trucks in front of Mead Hall. Antonio and I thought they were shooting a movie but I soon found out that Alicia Keys was filming her newest music video. According to reports Keys was seen carrying books and frequently being covered with a robe to stay warm. I also heard through the grape vine that she bused in African American extras, which I think is hilarious because Drew really does have a lack of ethnic diversity. My roommate Betsy saw a guy with a huge Afro doing back springs across the campus, at least the shoot was entertaining. Although they did stop my friend Nikki from crossing campus to go to the bathroom (the poor thing had to wait fifteen minutes to pee). I also saw some guys wearing shiny silver shin guards (so random). Caitlin, Betsy and Nikki accidentally walked through a scene passing by a girl on her cell phone saying "I'm pretending to be on my phone, blah blah blah." When I was last wandering around campus an hour ago Alicia was still outside filming. She does have a body guard and security but onlookers are allowed to get very close to where they are filming. Anyway if you'd like to go watch Alicia Keys shoot her newest video head on over to Drew University in Madison, NJ. I can't wait till the video comes out. I wonder if they were actually able to make my college look fun and hip.
