It all started as one of those ideas that sounds good in a dorm room and nobody ever put a stop to before it picked up steam. Now it's a tradition. Every Palooza has a food component (half of the time it's provided and we ask for a little money at the door, the other half of the time we all do it together), some kind of competition which is almost always childish, a ridiculous trophy which changes over the years, a way to ring in the New Year, and whatever else you bring. Oh, and we all wear ties.
