‘The Cradle’ rockxxx

LEISURE BY JULIA COOKE As 8 p.m. comes and goes, the audience gossips audibly and cast members chat among themselves onstage. Murmurs of “I’m so confused” grow louder as actors wander offstage to offer refreshments and chat with the audience. Poulton Hall has become a different kind of theater, one in which the comfort of the audience is paramount.

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.

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.

Bollywood and tradition intermingle

Rangila, the South Asian Society’s annual festival, has become no less than a phenomenon since its inception eight years ago. 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. While the addition of Cincinnati, DePaul, Louisville, Marquette and South Florida to the league will have a positive impact on the competition level of many sports Georgetown participates in, the effects will be felt most on the hardwood floors of the MCI Center.

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. We sit around the kitchen table-last Sunday until four in the afternoon-trying to pretend that we have nowhere else to be.
