Humor, horror combine in ‘Shocktoberfest!’

·

The Rose Firebay at the John Waldron Arts Center was filled to capacity Saturday night for “Shocktoberfest!,” a series of short, spine-tingling plays presented by the Cardinal Stage Company. “The show is meant to be fun and not taken seriously,” said Cardinal Artistic Director Randy White.

‘The Real Thing’ keeps it real at Wells-Metz

·

There has never been, and probably never will be, a theatrical production with this much raw, gritty and heart-felt emotion. “The Real Thing,” which opened Friday in the Wells-Metz Theatre, lived up to its name. From the opening scene, the players grabbed the audience by the throat and refused to let go until the very last line.

History unfolds through fan exhibit

Bengals take advantage of Jets’ mistakes, win 38-31

·

Don’t blame Chad Pennington solely for this one. He had a lot of help. Kenny Watson ran for 130 yards and three touchdowns in the best performance of his career, and the Cincinnati Bengals turned the New York Jets’ second-half meltdown into a 38-31 victory Sunday. Hardly a drive went by without a major gaffe by two of the NFL’s most disappointing teams.

Fumbled away

·

The offense scored 31 points against a team that was giving up an average of 12. The defense held Penn State to three field goals instead of three touchdowns on goal-line stands. Junior wide receiver James Hardy became IU’s all-time leader in touchdown receptions with 31, adding two on Saturday. But the biggest number of the game for the Hoosiers was four – as in four second half turnovers.

Mistakes from stars doom IU

·

Remember the New York Yankees blowing the ALCS in 2004? Or how about Chris Webber in the closing seconds of the 1993 NCAA Championship game? Greg Norman’s notable Sunday meltdowns on the golf course? All of the above have had something slip through their hands. The same could be said for the Hoosiers on Saturday. In prime position to beat Penn State for the first time in history, the Hoosiers fumbled – four times, actually – their chances away and lost to the Nittany Lions, 36-31.

·

The popularity of iPods and other brands of MP3 players might be the cause for an increase in violent crime, according to a report issued by the Urban Institute. The report’s authors found that a time period when Apple sold nearly 90 million iPods correlated with the first national crime rate spike in 12 years.

Journalism professor follows Indian migration all over world

·

Steve Raymer set out to capture two centuries worth of photos all over the world, but only had four years to do it. The associate professor of journalism traveled the world in search of people of Indian origin living away from their homeland for his new book, “Images of a Journey: India in Diaspora,” published by the IU Press.

Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan rocks Assembly Hall

With silver buckets of incense burning behind the stage and an elaborate introduction, Bob Dylan took the stage at Assembly Hall on Friday night with his band members – all of whom were dressed in black, with Dylan looking like he was straight from an old Western movie.

Desperately seeking shuteye

·

Have you ever been far away from a loved one? Have you ever missed someone so much that you think about them every minute of the day? Lately, this is how I have been feeling about the backs of my eyelids. Sometimes it’s school, sometimes it’s work and sometimes it’s even hanging out with friends that does it, but suffice it to say that I have been missing out on way too much sleep lately to go on functioning like a semi-normal human being. And judging by the lines at Starbucks this week and the number of Rockstar cans I’ve seen lying around campus, I’m not alone.

Candidate costumes

·

Halloween proper might not be until the middle of next week, but we all know that it’s this weekend that really matters. (It’s a bit difficult to party on a Wednesday. Not that you shouldn’t try – this is IU, after all.) Thus, you should start working on your costume immediately, if you haven’t already. Undoubtedly, some of you topical types are going to want to dress up like the candidates for the 2008 presidential election.
