[photos] Paint the Herd: a new twist on an old tradition

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.

Students rave about plans for ‘Paint the Herd’

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...
