On Tour



Jonah is taking his act on the road. Sure, there's a lot of music out there competing for your entertainment dollar. Lady Gaga. Justin Bieber. And festivals like Pitchfork and Lollapalozza. But look at it this way. When Jonah's show comes through your town, it'll be like reconnecting with Hoover, for just a few minutes, in the middle of a long, depressing summer. It'll be a reminder: summer will end, and you'll be able to get back to your books, and A-level, and, of course, Hoover.

We hate goodbyes


We hate goodbyes. But every year some percentage of Hooverites decide they want to graduate and move on into life - going to graduate school, earning six-figure salaries, getting married, playing video games without homework getting in the way. That's fine. (Sob!) We'll be okay. (Sniff.) Really. Can I have a tissue?

We'll miss all of our graduates. Send us postcards from the big time. We'll be right here.

Of course, some people leave a bigger hole when they leave. Like Caileigh. We did everything we possibly could to prevent her from graduating. But she steered around all the obstacles we put in her way.

Why did we love Caileigh? The obvious answer is: for her caileighness! Yeah, that's a word. Look it up! Of all the things we'll remember about Caileigh, perhaps the most memorable thing was the time she reversed the orbit of the earth to go back a week so Hooverites could have a second shot at all those Spring Quarter finals they messed up. Hurray Caileigh!
