The Rusty Nail: LIVESTRONG for the weak

By Lester Russell Allen IV · Monday, Oct. 18, 2004

Yellow bracelets that cost a dollar. You never know where the next fad will spring, do you? Indeed, these LIVESTRONG bracelets are this year's bell-bottoms or Starter jacket. Yellow could even be called the new teal. The best part? That dollar goes to charity! Finally, a way to look cool while showing your support for cancer patients.

Playwright Thompson '71 drops in on theatre class

By Dan Zak | October 18

Ernest Thompson, one of AU's quietly successful alumni, sat in a folding chair in the basement of the Kreeger Music Building as theater students got themselves into character. The students of PERF-350, Fundamentals of Acting 3, were playing parts in Thompson's new work "Ax of Love," a decades-spanning story that starts when the characters are young, impressionable and in college.

SAINTS AND SOLDIERS: A

By Jason Alredge | October 14

"Saints and Soldiers" offers a great mix of war and brotherhood. Fans of war films like "Platoon" and "Saving Private Ryan" should include "Saints and Soldiers" in their repertoire. The movie, which was very successful at several of the major film festivals across the country, features both the combat of war and a strong connection to the people fighting in war.

Beastie Boys sabotage GMU

By Costa Caloudas | October 14

On Friday, in Fairfax's Patriot Center, the big screen showed an unsuspecting hot dog vender in the concession stand, only to take off his work-uniform and reveal himself as Mix Master Mike, the DJ for the evening. He made his way to the stage, and quickly mixed, sampled and scratched his introduction - a sample of sue-happy Michael Buffer's trademark call, "Lets get ready to rumble." And out came the main event.

By Dyane Jean-Francois | October 14

Diary of an Intern: Pee to procrastinate

By Michael Vallebuona | October 14

If there is one way to procrastinate at your internship, it's by taking suspiciously frequent and curiously long trips to the bathroom. These toilet-bound sojourns allow you precious time - 15 minutes, at the very least - to run the faucet, inspect your reflection and otherwise not do work.

Rilo Kiley packs 'em in at Cat

By Emily Zemler | October 14

Selling out a show at the Black Cat is a good sign for an indie rock band. The venue may be relatively small, but it's harder than one would think to coax all the indie hipsters in D.C. into the same room for one whole night. Rilo Kiley now has that distinction.

TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE: B+

By Daniel Longino | October 14

While Parker and Stone's puppets explode, bleed, puke and do it doggy style, there is an overall tone of complete seriousness that makes the whole thing work. "Team America" is the easily most offensive film of the year, and has on onslaught of very hilarious material and will please any fan of "South Park."

Bar Brief: Tom Tom

By Jason Alredge | October 14

Tom Tom is a decent place for a beer and music, but not a great place to hang out and play video games. Many people line up Thursdays to get inside, because you can buy eight drinks for just $10.
