Lunafest promises to satisfy

This Monday in Leavey Center Conference Room, Luna Bar and the Georgetown Women’s Rugby team will hopefully show why every energy bar should have a film festival. PowerBar’s festival, for example, would stop at auto shows across the country from Detroit to Newark, screening Die Hard and Terminator and giving special honors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean Claude Van Damme.

So Much for The City, The Thrills, Virgin

The Thrills are not another one of the garage-revivalist bands with the requisite “The” in the band title. They are a five-piece group from Dublin whose pop-rock songs unabashedly evoke The Monkees, The Beach Boys and other masters of the ‘60s craft that so galvanized the ladies.

A day with dad

I’ve never been much of a sports fan. Ironically enough, that’s exactly why I found myself sitting in the stands of Chicago’s Soldier Field with my dad last Sunday, watching the first round of this year’s Major League Soccer playoffs.

Ever since the 2002 World Cup, I’ve nonchalantly followed American soccer, watching games on TV and attending a few matches of Washington, D.

How on-campus housing is distributed is an issue close to students’ hearts. Plenty of students remember the first time they saw the Village A Rooftops, or the first time they realized they absolutely needed to have a Henle single, or their depression upon moving into Darnall.

The show, which hits Gaston this Friday and Saturday, sold out both nights in a mere fifteen minutes, breaking not only last year’s one show record of 30 minutes, but that of virtually any other event on campus.

Impending paranoia

There are many good reasons why Hoyas should breathe a big sigh of relief after receiving the news of the expansion of the Big East conference, which will take effect in the 2004-05 season.

Brunchy Bunch

Every Sunday morning, my roommates and I bake scones. By “morning” I mean 1p.m. And by “my roommates and I bake scones,” I mean they watch as I throw ingredients into a bowl, mix and bake them.
