For those still wondering what it is we do here at Room 050, well quite simply the best answer is… HAVE FUN! We just try to have our fun in a slightly different; more productive, creative (and slanderous) manner than some others, and it’s been that way for years.
What started off as a typically unproductive day years ago back at Morehouse, Room 050 dug a little deeper and struck comedic gold, which we affectionately call “the Koontastic Voyage, Vol. 1”. With nothing but a microphone in a dorm room, this day would bring about the origins of a Room 050 classic and everyone’s favorite comic MC/singer/songwriter – Jackie Salvatore.

Stuck in the Morehouse Suites, Room 050 took a microphone and a dream, and turned it into one of the most entertaining and amusing (well at least to us – you make your own judgments) bodies of work to date. With no real recording software, we were forced to play the track on the computer speakers in the background so that the mic would pick it up along with the lyrics (When you listen to the songs, this is so blatantly obvious – but it adds to the humor and the authenticity of it). After its completion several members even took it to the road – dressed as Jackie Salvatore and the gang, performing at a local nightspot.
