A night in a Southern beauty shop

·

The many legends of the "Southern woman" fill the annals of most every medium -- from the girls of the WhistleStop Café in "Fried Green Tomatoes" to dark, tragic figures of Tennessee Williams' Blanche DuBois and William Faulkner's Miss Emily, from the vivacious women of "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" to the incarnation of the Southern woman herself, Miss Scarlett O'Hara.

Entertaining 'Button' questions responsibility

·

In Jon Brooks' intelligently written "The Button," now showing on the Bloomington Playwright's Project Timothy J. Wiles stage, the provocative power of a little red button becomes an item of mystery and intrigue in the final mainstage BPP play of the season. The play is very entertaining, but at times Brooks' exuberance to captivate the audience overshadows the play's inherent message, which could have been shown stronger.

Lower gas prices return to Indiana

·

Even though gas prices have decreased over the last week from a high of approximately $2.10 per gallon to an average of $1.82, Bloomington area residents say the decrease in gas prices will not affect their driving habits. Shellie Goetz, an IU alumna, said she commutes four hours a day to her job and she is happy the prices are down. "Instead of spending $20 to fill my tank, I am spending about $15," Goetz said.

FIFTIES FLASHBACK

·

Picture the 1950s: black and white television shows, root beer stands, Elvis Presley beginning to sway his hips, sweet southern ladies on the radio, greased-back hair, sock hops, knee-length skirts, pony tails and rolled-up jeans.


Say goodbye to sunlight ... the best of E3 is here

·

Every spring, the video game community shuts down and converges in California to show off the latest and greatest video games that will drain the free time and free will of guys like me in the upcoming year.



So much for liking good music

·

I'll be honest -- I bought the hype, caved in to peer pressure and went out and bought a copy of Xiu Xiu's Fabulous Muscles.


A satisfactory 'Trip'

·

From the sufficiently twisted minds that brought you "Road Trip" and "Old School" comes "Eurotrip," a thoroughly mediocre but ultimately pleasing teen sex comedy.




Leave 'Auf der Maur' on 'der' shelf

·

Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Maur's name is probably familiar to any modern rock fan because she has played in and with some of the most prominent bands and artists of '90s alternative rock.







AURAL SOUNDSCAPE

·

Thrill Jockey band Tortoise performs songs a la tropical jam band style, though the quintet is comprised of Chicago-based musicians who have switched arms countless times over the band's 10 year span.
