I don’t know how to play guitar.


But damn, our friend Hayley Hosman can. Hayley placed first on Saturday’s regional finale for the Campus Music Fest, which is significant for a number of reasons: 1) She gets to move on to compete at the national finale in June. 2) She won a sweet, custom Gibson guitar.

Which means that I have some sliver of hope for the musical tastes of my peers, who voted for Hayley to win over all
