The Sports Sermon

OK, ladies and gentlemen, let’s play Six Degrees of Sports Separation, Thanksgiving Edition. We’re taking suggestions from the audience. Anyone? Where should we start?

Yes, you there. The man with no penis. Yes, you in the Kansas sweatshirt.

Strokes finish too quickly, fail to satisfy

The Strokes’ concert last Tuesday was a safe bet for D.C. kids with a curfew: By 11:30 p.m. ushers were already yelling for the hangers-on to clear the building. After playing a 50-minute set with no encore, the Strokes had cleared D.A.R. Constitution Hall in record time.

More art, less matter

While the shopping opportunities on Wisconsin Ave. and M St. are the best around, art galleries in Georgetown are somewhat sparse. You have to look a little harder in order to find some substance beneath the overpriced clothes and trendy restaraunts. The Addison/Ripley Georgetown gallery on the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Reservoir Road fits nicely into the void left by these other shops.

Holy musical, Bat Boy!

You walk in to a large warehouse-ish room. It’s all splintery wooden beams and black paint, huge red-and-black bat faces and unfinished walls. Smoke floats overhead. The slight beat of a drum echoes in the background, and bare risers surround a small stage.

Northerners deliver two snoozers

The dashing hero of a Russian romantic novel poses a question to his traveling companion: “It was the French, I suppose, who made boredom fashionable?” “No, the English,” the companion replies. Surprisingly, both were wrong. Neither the Francos or the Anglos live in a locale quite northerly enough to facilitate truly mind-numbing boredom.

Nguyen makes future look bright

While the women’s volleyball team did not make the Big East Tournament this season, the future of the team looks bright. The Hoyas already have last season’s Big East Rookie of the Year, sophomore middle blocker Sara Albert, and this year first-year outside hitter Natasha Nguyen has perfomed just as well.
