An authentic Red Sox fan

Until this year’s American League Championship Series, I thought I knew what it meant to be a Red Sox fan. I have lived in New England all my life. I got my first Sox cap in third grade. Since coming to Georgetown, my mom has faithfully sent me all the team news from the local paper.

Correction

“Taking out the trash” (Cover, Oct. 23) states that Georgetown University reached a peak recycling rate of 43 percent in 1996. However, this figure does not account for waste produced during move-in and move-out. The actual rate at that time, accounting for those figures, was between 16 percent and 18 percent, according to University Recycling Coordinator Pat Dollar.

Football falls to league powerhouse Lehigh

Throughout the season, the Georgetown football team has dug itself into more holes than a confused Labrador searching for a bone in its backyard. Saturday was no different for the Hoyas, as an early fumble and two quick punts led to three unanswered Lehigh touchdowns, and a 45-24 loss at the hands of the Mountain Hawks.

Drew or Zo: Pick your poison

SPORTS BY CAMERON SMITH The Hoyas may not enter Harbin Field through a shroud of smoke and hoopla as many of today’s top Division I football programs do. Nonetheless, Head Coach Bob Benson’s squad fields a pair of quarterbacks who possess the same multi-faceted arsenal as many of the football slingers for the nation’s largest programs.

‘Without Me’ reflects on loss of self

LEISURE BY ABBY LAVIN A few minutes into My Life Without Me audience members may get the sense that something is a bit unusual. With its gloomy setting, odd inflections in the actors’ voices, and a vaguely unsettling atmosphere, the movie seems to be taking place in some sort of alternate universe. Gradually, it all begins to make sense: It’s Canadian.

Anti-Flag singer blasts right-wing ‘punks’

It is impossible to categorize Pittsburgh’s Anti-Flag as anything but a punk rock band. From their mohawks and clever pseudonyms to their music and politics, Anti-Flag adheres so closely to the genre’s template that, after nearly a decade of recording and touring, the band’s prominent stature among the Warped Tour demographic is to be expected.

Local music at Midnight Mug

Less than a year old, Midnight Mug has created a reason other than studying to go to the library. In an effort to bring more art to campus, Midnight Mug opens its doors every Thursday to aspiring local musicians such as Spencer Bates.

Bates’ performance there last week was one of the best of the semester.

Club Lau: Out

Midterms have hit, and I am burnt out. At this point, caffeine is the only thing getting me through long nights and lonely days deep in the bowels of Lauinger. But as much as I love the coffee from Midnight Mug, the sight and smell of the library is beginning to make me nauseous.
