By Ashley Craft · Wednesday, Aug. 29,2007 11:25 p.m.

It has been over a decade since Steven Cole Hughes last visited Bloomington, but this time he will not be sitting in a classroom. Instead, he will be relaxing and watching his play “cowboyily,” opening tonight at 8 p.m. on the Bloomington Playwrights Project stage. Hughes, a playwright and IU alumnus, created “cowboyily,” a play that shows the clashing of two different characters: the “city mouse” and the “country mouse,” and examines how they coexist.

Do you see these shoes? They are mine. I bought them in early August at a store in New York called Oliver Spencer. Available in black or white, they were originally more than $200, but I was able to get them at a sale price of $59. A smokin’ deal for my smokin’ shoes.

Letters from Abroad

By Lindsey Landis · Monday, Aug. 27,2007 9:47 p.m.

Yesterday, as IU students moved through their first day of classes for the 2007-08 school year, I was 30,000 feet over the Atlantic Ocean. I am headed for a country – no, a continent – that I have never been to. I just kissed my family and boyfriend goodbye because I won’t see them for 10 months. And, I am seriously questioning my sanity.
