A world of caution for concertgoers
It’s difficult to force yourself to shell out $20 for a new pair of shoes sometimes, but it’s not nearly as unfathomable when your favorite band comes to town. More often than not, bigger-name concerts in Eugene are kind of like meteor showers. They’re rare and you have to see them when they hit. After...

Student actors vie for Twelfth Night spotlight
He paced the hall, one hand balled in a fist. The other chopped the air with huge sweeping gestures. His voice rang off the tile walls as he practiced his lines in the precious few minutes before the audition. Other students sat cross-legged on the concrete floor, tabletops and in the scattered chairs, feeding each...

Reclaiming V-Day
It’s here. In fact, it’s been here. That horrifically sweet time of year when the world is drenched in pink, chalky heart-shaped candies are distributed, and everyone asks one question: “Will you be mine?” Valentine’s Day has for too long been tagged as the one day a year set aside to show your true affections...

When it’s not so entertaining
Over the past 13 weeks, I’ve talked about finding entertainment, whether it’s on campus, in the community or in your own home. This week I’m talking about finding it on your own time, rather than your invaluable class time. With the digital age came a huge influx of new tech toys to play with, from...
‘Love’: a fiery show
to see
With great dialogue and memorable moments, Exploding Love shines a new light on the idea of committment.

A one-act play by Joseph Coyne, the show centers on Skeeter’s attempt (Joseph Tanner Paul) to stop his ex-wife’s nuptials by strapping a...

Prepped for real life
While writing these weekly columns is enjoyable, I must confess that I have more than just that driving me. I am constantly working on my writing skills for the day when I am on the other side of the tape recorder, getting interviewed for my first job. My instructors are constantly reminding my class that...
Ready to explode
The cast of ‘Exploding Love’ talks characters, scenes and, of course, love.
It might not be every day that one straps a bomb to his chest in the name of winning back his ex-wife, but this won’t stop the audience relating to Exploding Love, said LCC student Joseph Tanner Paul. “People always do crazy things for love,” Paul said. Joseph Coyne’s 1995 play shows the events that...

Outside the Box | Google+ running in ‘Circles’
Dearest Google, I love you, I really do. My inner research nerd craves your juicy algorithms; your ability to give me access to the depths of the Internet is nothing short of amazing. But we need to talk. Turning your beautiful, helpful Google Maps into a game (a maze, no less) to promote your social...
