Missing the veteran

Massive blocks of concrete are toppled into a giant heap, thick wires stick out at strange angles and bright blue Port-a-Potties outline the ruins. The site is entirely unrecognizable. The debris of Veteran’s Stadium, piled several hundred feet high on the asphalt, amounts to an estimated 70,000 cubic yards of material.

Galloping through Foxfields

According to its official website, Foxfields is one of the handful of steeplechase horse races sanctioned by the National Steeplechase Association. It is also, according to Georgetown students, “a total shit show,” “a day of drunken debauchery,” and “just a whole lot of beer.

Spearhead with Mommy

“No thank you,” my mother said politely declining the joint a scrappy twenty-something stoner offered her. To some, it might seem bizarre to have complete strangers offer your parents drugs. By this point in the evening, though, nothing could faze me.

Men’s, women’s lacrosse heading in different directions

Two days saw two very different results for Georgetown’s lacrosse teams. While the no. 5 Georgetown men’s lacrosse team’s dominating 16-7 victory over the Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers helped cement the Hoyas’ postseason hopes, the no. 7 women’s loss at no.

Madvillainy, Madvillain, Stones Throw

Every once and awhile an album comes around that is so highly anticipated that it seems impossible it can live up to the hype. Most of them don’t. But for every 10 or 15 disappointments (see Beck’s Sea Change or Belle & Sebastian’s Fold Your Hands Child …), there emerges one album that delivers on its promise.
