Spring Break
Fiasco in Moby [SLIDESHOW]

Issue date: 10/6/08 Section: News
Mere moments after finishing an extended edition of "Superstar", Lupe turned to the crowd: "Thank you so much you, you, the beautiful ladies and gentleman of University of Colorado."
The crowd wasn't quite sure what had happened, but as soon as it understood, the boos poured on as Lupe stood on stage, gripping his microphone trying to make sense of it all.
A song or two later, he stopped, picked out a single figure in the front floor crowd to tell him where he was performing at. Lupe then pardoned himself from the stage for a moment as his backing band kicked into a quirky jam. Less than a minute later, decked out in a green and gold jersey and cap, he returned to drop the night's closer.
In the end, the question lingered: Was it worth the $110,000 in student fees? There's no doubt there were more than a few music lovers left out in the cold with this selection, the high energy, quality performances and general fun of the show left this reviewer feeling satisfied enough.
