Bright fluorescent lights, loud music, fog and everyone dancing while throwing paint at each other isn’t something that happens on a regular basis at Lipscomb. But this Friday, Oct. 28, based on last year’s success, SGA is bringing back Paint the Herd. According to SGA member Amy Estepp, one reason why the Paint the Herd tradition is continuing is because “we received amazing support from students last year and even greater responses after the party.” “This year we are having a different DJ and will be expanding the cage to make the space a little larger than last year,” Estepp said, explaining a few changes to the event. Also, this year’s Paint the Herd will last one hour longer. While Paint the Herd is considered a paint-rave, Estepp said the administration is supportive. “We have an amazing administration that supports students and their ideas,” she said, “so it made it an easy decision for us to continue this tradition.” DJ Telemitry will be mixing the music for the night. Last year, many students dressed for the night and wore white t-shirts and SGA handed out white paint suits. Students also brought goggles and wore clothing, including shoes, that they didn’t mind getting paint on. Come prepared to have paint splattered on you and be ready to splatter others. Like last year, the event will take place in the lower level of the Arena West parking garage. Paint the Herd will start at 10 p.m. and end at 1:30 a.m. Lipscomb students can attend for $3 with an ID. Non-students can attend also but for $10. To see what happend last year click...

Paint the Herd: a new twist on an old tradition was the first of its kind event at Lipscomb. Sponsored by SGA, Paint the Herd took place in the lower level of the new parking garage. The floors were covered with tarp and fenced in with lights that constantly changed colors, for an underground look. DJ Potamus mixed the music for the paint rave. Students lined up early to participate in the event. After the first paint was launched by SGA via hand-held paint cannons, individual paint bottles were handed out for participants to squirt each other.

Paint will be flying and music will be pounding Friday night when Lipscomb’s Student Government Association hosts the first-ever “Paint the Herd.” The paint party — also referred to as a paint rave — will be held from 11:30 p.m. Friday until 1:30 a.m. Saturday on the bottom level of the new parking garage. DJ Potamus will be on the ones and twos while students dance and sling paint on each other and the well-covered and protected surfaces of the emptied garage. Students are excited about the music as well as the paint. “I have never heard DJ Potamus,” said freshman Courtney Himes. “But I’ve heard he is the bomb-diggity. I think that his music will make this paint party even better and I cant wait to hear him.” Paint, paint suits and refreshments will be provided by SGA. Students are urged to bring goggles or sunglasses to avoid getting paint in their eyes. Another perk that is designed to get more students involved is that the freshman curfew, normally 1 a.m. on the weekend, will be extended to 2 a.m. Admission will be $2 for Lipscomb students and $5 for non-Lipscomb students. Long-sleeve black t-shirts are available for $10 and get you into the party for free. “I have been to paint raves before and am so excited that Lipscomb is doing one,” said Kelli Blackshear. “I hope it tops the ones I’ve been to before. My friends and I can’t wait for this...
