I always thought of Brunch as breakfast food during lunch time--in which case, the Village Quad event on Sunday *is* a brunch, since it starts at lunch time and will consist of bagels, coffee, OJ, and the like.
THat's Breakfast for Lunch. Brunch is a meal held between the times normal for breakfast and those normal for lunch- neither really breakfast nor really lunch. It's the term that leads people to call meals eaten at 4 in teh afternoon lunner, or dinch.
I think of brunch as from say, 10:30-2; it's a meal where there are some breakfasty foods and lunchey foods to choose from, so it couldn't be so much earlier that you wouldn't eat the lunchey foods. Noon seems reasonable for brunch, especially for finals on a college student body clock.
Then there's my mom, who said we'll go to DINNER for mother's day, and suggests TWO PM as when to have this "dinner."
To be waggish about it, this might also depend on when the diners are getting up. A Sunday during finals? People are probably up by 10 or 11, for the most part. And thus it gets to be brunch!
also, im pretty sure youre being unnecessarily dictatorial on your definition, here. even if you take the standard intuitive definition of brunch as half way between breakfast and lunch, that doesnt necessarily mean a meal beginning halfway between the standard accepted time for breakfast and lunch. indeed, many regularly wait to break their overnight fast untill well into the afternoon, and lunch often means anything you eat before nightfall. with that in mind, i think a very reasonable definition of brunch is a traditional meal served during daylight hours on weekends usually consisting of eggs and either bloody mary or mimosa.
At Swat, Sunday brunch was always served from 11 to 1:30, which was exactly the time for lunch on other days, the difference being what was served, and the fact that there was no previous meal on Sundays.

Sgan musica at Berkshires. Ah well. Of course, half the people I know are going to be at Darom. Is it really huge, or just popular?
