When in Rome: Encountering the backpacker mentality

But all of these transportation inconveniences were worth it. To remind those who may have forgotten, my friend Rachel and I decided to spend our spring break on the Greek island of Corfu. Neither of us had heard anything about the island before deciding to travel there. In fact, we had only read about it in a guidebook two days before we left. We left Rome for spring break a little anxious about what to expect.

You can have the party, an accepting upheaval of alcohol-fueled positive energy that's bought and sold at your local liquor stores like religion at church, or you can have the pit, a mob of teenage hooligans sweating with drug free intensity. While Daryl Palumbo's full-time band Glassjaw brings the pit, his new side project, Head Automatica, brings the party.

The Rusty Nail: Saying thanks to SUB

Every now and then, I need to take time off from complaining to give out some well-earned kudos to groups at AU that have made our time here that much better. Right now, the one group that really deserves the lion's share of "thank yous" is the Student Union Board (SUB). You know SUB, right? It does the programming around here.
