Anne Elaine Rebeck, a senior, is currently studying photography and is the photo editor for the Weekend magazine. \n"With photography, I didn't know there was anything that could evoke such emotion out of me, and I want to be able to create that for other people.\n"Photography is extremely important because you can document time. The right photography is priceless. It's worth more than any amount of words."\nWhen Rebeck isn't out shooting with a Canon digital camera, here's what this Indiana native gets into:

The infamous Hairy Bear, described on the Bear's drink menu as capable of making patrons "want to climb walls," consists of six shots of three different liquors. Though the original idea was conceptualized nearly 20 years ago, general manager Jim Reef says nobody really ordered it until five years ago. \n"It started out as a joke," Reef says. "It's so intense; it's kind of a nasty drink. It started out as six shots in a 12-ounce mug with some grenadine, sour mix and orange juice for flavor. Now it's the signature drink, thanks to (former Bear's owner) Ray McConn. We used to sell 300 to 400 Long Islands a night; now it's all Hairy Bears."\nReefs cautions that servers are technically not allowed to serve more than one Hairy Bear to any consumer (but as this writer knows, that's often not strictly adhered to) -- an instance Reef attributes to the layout of the bar. \n"It's so hard -- you can get it from the bar, from your server, or change sections and order it elsewhere," Reef says. "It's hard to monitor"
CRAZY HORSE FOOD AND DRINK EMPORIUM\n214 W. FIFTH STREET\nThey're back. Latin dance parties and local bands plan to rock Second Story for the second time around, as the bar opens after a short hiatus. Owner Phil Rhoade says the bar is available for benefits and special parties for anyone and everyoneys Second Story has gone back to the basic things that worked for their crowd in the past, like booking local ban,. Rhoade says. Crowd demographics, he says, vary depending on the act. From older jazz and blues with older crowds to new-age punk, the audience depends on the featured music. But locals are known to inhabit the place as well as students when occasionally drawn by a notorious DJ.
There's never been a better time to be a part of the crew from the dirty South. The artists and albums coming out of the area are leading the rap charts. Representing the ATL, the YoungBloodZ Drankin' Patnaz goes down as smooth as your favorite shot. \nIn the spirit of the dirty South, J Bo and Sean Paul have brought an album that will get parties going and make listeners roll down their windows so everyone can hear the crunk beats. \nIn "Damn!," fellow rappers Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz help put the same sweet flavor into the song that they put into "Get Low" with the Ying Yang Twins. The song is already a popular hit at the clubs and radio stations nationwide.\nThe title song "Drankin' Patnaz" will remind most listeners of their best friend, their bud or the one that will throw back a beer in the middle of the afternoon with them just because they've had a bad day. The music is good and fitting for an album with so many alcohol references.\nThe YoungBloodz are the perfect addition to an already growing dirty south hip-hop dynasty. Drankin' Patnaz is the perfect album to do some drankin' to this fall. Collaborations with Lil' Jon, Killer Mike and other dirty South rap kings make the album one smooth listen.

Tomorrow, Chicago-based band Umphrey's McGee will entertain Umphreaks (the PC term for Umphrey-crazed fans) and music lovers alike at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. For $12-$14, both the traveling fans and Bloomingtonites will be able to catch the jamband in the Buskirk's intimate setting. \nFormed in 1997, Umphrey's McGee hails from South Bend, where five of the six obtained degrees from Notre Dame, three of those in music. Since their original debut as a four-piece, the musicians have expanded to now include guitar, bass, percussion, keyboards and moog in their sets. The band's sound resembles Phish and moe., with members claiming influences that range from Frank Zappa to the Beastie Boys. The band has come quite a way from its days in South Bend, and has opened for Maceo Parker and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. \nUnafraid of the Internet, much of the band's popularity arose from downloadable tunes. The band's manager even once encouraged fans to download, burn and distribute CDs to friends and passersby in Colorado before the band toured the state, resulting in more people attending the shows. \nUmphrey's McGee is now preparing for its fourth album release in February, according to the band's Web site (www.umphreys.com). This will be the group's first studio album, the previous discs being recorded live. \nCatch Umphrey's McGee at 9 p.m. (doors open at 8 p.m.) Friday at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre. Tickets are $12 in advance, $14 at the door.
The Buskirk-Chumley Theatre will host an all-ages concert featuring three local rock bands on March 30. The "Shake That Thing Fling" marks a rare showing for Bloomington-based rock at the theater, which usually showcases out-of-town talent or events like the annual Lotus World Music & Arts Festival.\nOpening the show will be The Infinite Path, promoting its recently released debut album Mansion, Cave or Lobotomy. Consisting of five self-described "borderline schizophrenic hillbillies," The Infinite Path formed in the summer of 2000 and recorded Mansion at Bloomington's Farm Fresh Studios with the help of local talent including members of Orquestra Son and Japonize Elephants. In January, the band won the first round of the US Tobacco Freedom Rock Battle of the Bands at Uncle Fester's, and will be competing in the final round late in April. \nNext up is O-Jo Malone, a band that formed last year with the aim of "extending the boundaries of musical exploration deep into the abysses of funk-a-fied freshly indulgent groove rock." Members are: Dave Underwood on lead vocals and guitar, John Breen on lead guitar, Nate Lineback on bass, Dave Hahn on keyboards and vocals, Nate Nash on drums and Leslie Donovan on vocals.\nThe final act of the fling is Underground Charmin. UC formed just over two years ago, and recently released its debut CD. The musicians describe their sound as an "erogenous blend of rock/punk/jazz/funk." "We like to associate our music with head bobbin', adrenaline, smiles and cutting loose," says the band on its Web site.\nTickets for the "Shake That Thing Fling" can be purchased at Uncle Fester's, Vance Music Center and Tracks for $5. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the music starts at 8:30 p.m. Food and drink will be sold by Bloomingfoods.

After more than 12 months of recording at Echo Park Studios, local pianist Craig Brenner will unleash his blues, jazz and sometimes bossa nova stylings on the world this weekend. And he will do it while helping others. \nSunday, Brenner and friends will host the CD release party for his third album, Window on the Soul, with all proceeds benefiting the Community Kitchen of Monroe County and the Hoosier Hills Food Bank.\n"When you have you should give and when you don't you should let other people help you," Brenner, a 20-year food bank volunteer, says.\nLocal musicians the Crawdads (Brenner's band), IU professor Pat Harbison, James Campbell, Janiece Jaffe, Gordon Bonham, Brian Lappin, Joe Donnelly, Dave Pavolka, David Wierhake and others who were included on the CD, will also donate their time to play with Brenner.\nRoland's Cajun Catering will donate enough gumbo, jambalaya, bread and soda for 150 people. Tickets are $10 or $7 with three cans of food, and are available in advance at Bloomingfoods, the Community Kitchen, the Food Bank or from Brenner. Children are admitted free. \nBrenner says this album takes him in a new direction. Where his past discs primarily feature cover tunes, Window on the Soul is almost all original material. \n"Elias" and "Nathaniel" were written for Brenner's sons, musicians who will also take the stage at the John Waldron Arts Center this weekend. IU student Nathaniel is an 18-year-old bassist while his 20-year-old brother Elias plays percussion. \nCatch these local musicians banding together for a good cause and grab some Cajun food at 3 p.m. Sunday at the John Waldron Arts Center Auditorium.
