Working together to have weekend plans
Check out our new thang, the Events Calendar, if you want to know about live music for less money in the Eugene area. I just added a bunch of events for the second half of October, and I still have a bunch more to add. Also I’d like your input; mostly I have only added [...]
I'm moving to Sweden
I told Stephen I’d follow up on last night’s Jens Lekman show at WOW Hall, but falling in love makes me semi-illiterate. Forgive me if I fan-rant. After two years of touring worldwide on the same album, I don’t know how Jens manages to take such good care of his audience. We did take his [...]
Hicksters Unite
The Avett Brothers, dukes of the 21st century bluegrass revival, play McDonald Theatre this Wednesday. Come watch them burn down our most historic barn. Also, if it turns out that the Avett Brothers were the only band-dudes you wanted to see at Sasquatch, see them for $19 (advance) instead of $80. What a steal! Accordionist [...]
(Love notes are harder to write than blog rants)
Nobody here blogged about the Dark Dark Dark show last week. I could pull something out of my grab-bag of missed deadline excuses (you know how hard it is to find the internet these days…?) but there was no good reason to neglect proper reverence for Nona Marie Invie and her sweet band of gypsies. [...]
In other news: bad poetry
Changing the subject. I found a scrawled note sitting on top of a stack of OVs in the j-school: “You said love is a temple, love the higher law. you asked me to enter then you made me crawl + I just can’t keep holding on to what you got when all you got is [...]
Cake is the only language I speak
This is an apology: From me (Grace), not from any organization. To Hannah Hoffman and Lauren Fox, not to any organization. The cakes are yours as soon as I can get them to you, whether you forgive me or not. On a more positive note, I’m glad to hear that the OV blog is finally [...]
Want some clips? Feeling scabby?
Journalists love to tell stories. I can’t remember the last time the Daily Emerald told one that was truly engaging, though this morning’s bold, red headline sucked me in: EMERALD NEWS STAFF STRIKES. ASUO sandbox politics were getting boring, I guess, so the reporters made their own scandal. They put off the strike until this [...]
Cute as fuck robot
In honor of this youtube gem, I am rewriting Asimov’s three laws of robotics. First law: hit dat toaster Second law: make em dance Third law: shake it
Just so you know
Twilight is now showing at the $1.50 theater. The venue should be dark and deserted, kids. Perfect if you are looking to get it on with your vampire boyfriend.
Hot, Sticky, Jazzy
I’m only twenty for three more days, and the terrible age still plagues me. I got a tip-off about this band playing at Indigo tonight, but I can’t legally attend. After listening to their album last night, I want to hear the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey spit fire. I want it so bad! I’m telling [...]
