Death and Dismemberment overtake 9:30 Club

Despite the dismal imagery that accompanies death and dismemberment, when both hit the 9:30 Club, as they did Tuesday night, there’s nothing of the sort. Add some Cex to the mixture, and you’ve got the makings of the next Evil Dead movie?or, maybe just a relucant indie band and some hometown pop-rockers trying to fool their unsuspecting admirers.

The Sports Sermon

Hey Hoya fans, forgive us if we’re the only ones this side of the equator who aren’t excited for March Madness, but we’re not. March Madness would be exciting if our team were in it at all, but it isn’t so don’t blame us if we’re a bit annoyed that we have to sit through a month of annoying Dicky V.

BZA completes its role in 10-Year Plan process

On March 5, the Board of Zoning and Adjustment formalized its rejection of the Georgetown University revised 10-Year Campus Plan.

True West a true riot

by Jennifer Ernst True West, Arena Stage’s latest production, takes place in suburban L.A., near the foothills of the San Gabriel mountains, where the coyotes howl at the moon, and the men howl at their typewriters.

Great Hair

A survey of any sports section or sports publication in the month of March reveals an obvious trend in sports stories: predictions. This year, however, as sports writers everywhere try to forecast the Final Four, foresee the NBA and NHL champions, forebode the NFL draft sleepers and steals, and foretell the conclusion to the upcoming baseball season, I have come to a realization.

Doing your own job

Earlier this month, the Board of Zoning Adjustment formally required that the University agree to integrate a series of conditions into its 10-Year Campus Plan.

M&B’s One Acts fest a pleasure

In this year’s Donn B. Murphy One Acts Festival, Mask & Bauble presents an entertaining, yet highly unbalanced evening of student artistry and creativity. First, three college juniors meet one afternoon in Invading Bessarabia, by Colin Relihan (CAS ‘02), for friendly competition at a board game, which looks suspiciously like “Risk,” in the living room of an apartment that is unmistakably redolent of Village A.

On the comedy of a century

If I were to write a novel, it would definitely be set in the 19th century. Because, as I think we can all agree, the 19th century is the most hilarious century of them all. Of course, I wasn’t the first person to figure this out; popular culture today is replete with references to this age.
