For the last few years, the Eyeopenerites seeking the job of editor-in-chief have carefully planned and performed something special on election speech night. In 2006, Robyn and Barry did a disturbingly thoroughly prepared dance to the strains of Europe’s The Final Countdown and capped it all off with a thumb war. The following year, John and Tristan preceded their speeches with an equally disturbingly heartfelt rendition of Hero by Enrique Iglesias and ended the night with a Wonderwall sing-along.
This year, Carla, Karon and Tristan turned their performance into a tribute to John, who’s moving overseas for a job in two weeks.
“And so,” Tristan said before the performance, “we’re going to do Good Riddance.”
