I'll Only Stand on My Soapbox

By Holly Johnson and Holy Johnson · Thursday, Aug. 28,2003 2:24 a.m.

This week, I packed up my shoebox others deem a car and made the meandering trip back to Bloomington from my hometown of (prepare yourselves) Evansville, Ind., after more than a year away. I spent my junior year -- yes, the entire year -- abroad in Canterbury, England, followed by internships in Evansville and New York. Into those 365-plus days I crammed enough travel (and racked up enough credit card debt) to satisfy my wayward yearnings for at least a few decades.

Val's First Phishin' Trip

By Val · Thursday, Aug. 28,2003 2:22 a.m.

I went to my first Phish concert this summer. Knowing very little about the band and wearing closed-toed shoes, I stuck out like a sore thumb. I came away with a genuine respect for the band, if not the full-blown obsession that seemed to drive many of those in attendance.

A hell of a town... and DVD, too

By -Kehla West · Thursday, Aug. 28,2003 2:15 a.m.

The DVD release of "Chicago" is a triumph equal to the triumph of the movie. A Behind the Scenes segment includes commentary by director Rob Marshall, screenwriter Bill Condon and costume designer Colleen Atwood. The segment moves easily between shots of the actors working in pre-production and shots of the finished product (these actors worked it) and presents the movie as the result of all the pieces coming magically together.

Call it what you will -- country music, Texas country music, or Seattle grunge --it just doesn't matter to Pat Green. Formed from his Texas roots, the unique blend of music Green has developed is honest, strong and truly unique unto him. He is quite possibly, and often labeled as, the most famous country music singer that you have never heard of. All of that seems to be on the verge of changing, however, as Green branches out onto a national scene, including a show at the Bluebird Sept. 4.
