College Street Cafe to Record Local Musiciansby Alex Ossola '10On Friday, October 10 from 7-11 p.m., the College Street Café will hold an Open Mic Night for all local artists. The area's best talent will be pleasing all ears within listening distance. Unlike a typical Open Mic Night, the show will be recorded using professional equipment. After the show, the artists can purchase a copy of their own recording (anywhere from 1-4 songs), which can even be used as a demo. In the days following the performances, artists will be invited to individual recording sessions in order to perfect their recording from the live performance. Artists will be able to add voice-overs, harmonies, or whatever supplementary tracks they would like in order to create a professional-quality recording. More. . . |

Lettuce HeadPresented By Joe Kazacos '09 & Joshua Hicks '09WALTZ DISNEYWhat happened to the innocent days of our childhoods? If my guess is correct, many associate our days of growing up with fictional animated beings from the mind of Walt Disney. The time for building movie collections is upon us, and I frown at the thought of not owning Robin Hood or Aladdin. Pocahantas brought us to America with furry little animals, while Mulan took us all the way to China! The classic Fantasia seems to be a favorite in the hearts of many Americans, so where's your Disney flick?Whether it's The Lion King, The Fox and the Hound or The Little Mermaid (yuck!) - you can never forget the timeless classics that made us all feel warm and cozy and forget about doing our chores for a couple of hours. P.S. 5 Lettuce Heads for Mary Poppins! I don't know about you, but sometimes I really do miss the good old days. More. . . |
