NYSMF Summer Music Camp - row4-04

CONGRATULATIONS -- you have located the discreetly hidden page for the semi-official mascot of the New York Summer Music Festival!

"Why a squirrel?"

There is indeed a reason for making this resilient little varmint the office of NYSMF.

The origin goes back to a time before the existance of our little festival, back to the Time Before, back back back to before I had any signs of cosmic radiation successfully smacking into individual hair follices, or free radicals radically rampaging through various cells of my body, leaving acorns within my very RNA strands.

But first, let's hear from our sponsor, Keisuke Hoashi Photography!

2009 Tee Shirt Squirrel Design


Tthe legendary Phantom Squirrel who was spotted lurking about the dormitory in 2008, in between gorging on leftover hot chicken wings and entire slices of leftover pizza.

Oooh, and one more nice thing that happens on campus each summer. The deer all have little baby deer, often twins, all pawing delicately around all the grassy little islands in the parking lots. Sometimes they even stroll right through the dorm quads, where you can peek at them as if you are inside of a nature documentary. All this cuteness PLUS fantastic music AND squirrels, too! How can you resist? SIGN UP TODAY FOR NYSMF!
