Church of baseball

“I believe in the Church of Baseball. I’ve tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones. And the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball.”- Annie Savoy, Bull Durham.

To many people, Holy Week is the most important week of the year.

Obsession, madness and murder

The opening, pre-show minutes of A Devil Inside set a mood: Anonymous skyscrapers are silhouetted against a chartreuse sky. Actors playing the plain and the pathetic do stage business in a seedy laundromat. The jangling and discordant sounds of Miles Davis’ “Pharaoh’s Dance” fill the air.

They got wet: Mulleted madman pleases fans

An extreme close-up of a young man’s face with long dirty hair flowing past his shoulders and copious amounts of blood streaming down his face and neck: Such is the highly controversial album cover art, and image, of Andrew W.K., the newest rock shocker to appear on the pop scene.

Panic Room hits buttons

Ah, the lives of rich eccentrics! With plenty of expendable capital, they’re free to do such strange things as build secret steel-clad “panic rooms” designed to protect them just in case their Upper West Side “townstones” are ever invaded. Not only does this provide some measure of security to these senile financiers, but it also serves as a fantastically convenient plot device in the new movie Panic Room.

Up, up, and away

As seems to be regularly the case this time of year, musical offerings in the Washington area over the next week largely range from inanely innocuous (The Big Wu, Dave Matthews) to the inadvisably incessant (Ani DiFranco) and on to the irredeemably intolerable (Dashboard Confessional).

Black Hoyas too: a collection of voices

“I remember a time earlier this semester, I was talking to another kid and he happened to be Caucasian and I was telling him the taxi cab situation in D.C. is horrendous,” said Robert Wingate-Robinson (MSB ‘03). “A lot of times I had to have one of my white friends come out and stand there and catch the cab and then I jumped into the cab. It’s crazy. He had a hard time believing that the situation was that bad … That lack of knowledge keeps a gap in between the majority and the different minorities [at Georgetown].” Wingate-Robinson’s difficulty in catching a cab is nothing new to D.C.?African-Americans have had the problem for years. But, like many issues facing black students at Georgetown, it is news to many non-minority students. The problem of a knowledge gap regarding black life at Georgetown actually starts well beyond the Healy Gates.
