By Kate Oczypok · Thursday, Feb. 5, 2004

Customers are welcomed by techno and reggae music playing loudly and staff members dancing around in stiletto heels.

A girl anxiously examines nail polishes, searching for the "right" color to match her outfit.

Dillinger Escape hits 9:30 club

February 5

"Warning: strobe lights will be used tonight" was printed in block letters on the foreboding black double doors leading to the 9:30 club floor, though in the end it probably didn't matter, since three out of four bands playing often lead to seizures anyway.

Ricin scare gives interns day off

By Mackenzie Ryan | February 5

While the Senate buildings begin to reopen today after the toxin ricin was found in a suite of offices used by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) Monday, students interning in senators' offices are finding themselves with a few days off.

Film review: 'Against the Ropes' *

By Neal Ferkso | February 5

"Against the Ropes" makes one of the cardinal mistakes found in many films today: It feigns the illusion that it can be all things to all people. Character actor Charles Dutton's directorial debut attempts to be a sports movie, a classic underdog story, a female empowerment tale and a comedy all at once. Watching it fail to accomplish just about all of these goals isn't amusing in even a morbid way.

Sex and Sensibility: The Untouchables

By Allison Weil | February 5

A good friend of mine hasn't been on a date in more than five years. He's 25 years old. I met another man at the bar this weekend who's 26. He rarely leaves the house. Both stay home at night, playing video games, watching movies and sulking. When I asked them why they don't go out and meet people, they both spoke about hierarchies of individuals, stating that they fall at the bottom of the list.
