At first glance, it might seem that every Cal Poly student on campus is either studying or walking to class. But that does not mean the only thing to do on campus is homework . far from it.
From simply hanging out on Dexter Lawn to climbing the rock wall, Cal Poly offers plenty of activities right on campus for students to enjoy.
A spectacle of dirt, horsepower and diesel exhaust will take place Saturday afternoon, as the Cal Poly Tractor Pull Club hosts the annual Open House Truck and Tractor Pull at the pull site near the crops unit.
With a tradition that dates back to the East Coast in the late 1960s, the tractor pull has become a definitive event for both Cal Poly as well as the greater California agriculture scene.
You’ve gotta hand it to a guy who’s willing to bare it all (um . quite literally) on the big screen in, like, the first five minutes of a movie. This move can, after all, either make or break a film (is America really ready for full-frontal male nudity?).
His music is musty with a hint of back wood twang, but Jon Bartel’s smokey lyrics create a foot-tapping melody. Once he starts singing, listeners are transported to an older time. He will be opening for songwriter David Olney Friday at the San Luis Obispo City/County Library.
It’s 2008 and music is available in all sorts of shapes and forms, from MP3s to compact discs, and most nostalgically, vinyl. This Saturday, record stores across the nation will observe the first annual National Record Store Day to celebrate the culture and unique place these small businesses hold in their communities.
I’m pretty picky about who I think is allowed to make fun of America. John Stewart: fine. Journalists: hard to tell when they’re joking. Foreigners: not cool. An American making fun of American stereotypes is funny (Dave Chappelle, for example), but anyone not lovingly satirizing the grand ol’ U.
“What happens when a whole bunch of sexy vegan girls get together? A whole lot of laughs and tasty fun,” said Bob Banner of the HopeDance organization when reading a description of one of the films he chose to present in his short films festival.
HopeDance will host its annual short film festival from 7 to 9 p.
The 19th annual Pilipino Cultural Night is coming back to Cal Poly after playing in Arroyo Grande last year – and it’s coming back in live action.
The event, more frequently referred to as PCN, is a production celebrating Pilipino culture through the dancing, singing and writing talents of the members of the Pilipino Cultural Exchange club (PCE).
The “Living Bridge” compilation is fucking cool. I don’t mean that as a throwaway comment either. Nicholas Vernhes who put this compilation together has so much coolness that I don’t know how he had time to put this together, seeing as he’s probably flooded with plenty of free coke and offers of hot hipster sex.
Singer Nick Jaina will bring his carefully orchestrated melodies and slow, soulful music to The Clubhouse tonight, as he once again attempts to transport listeners back to a simpler time.
“I have been influenced by such great singer/songwriters as Paul Simon, Tom Waits, and The Beatles,” Jaina said in a telephone interview.
I once heard that women think the sexiest thing a man can do is cook. No, not sport a nice set of abs, rescue someone from a burning building or show off his keen sense of humor. Ladies want a man who knows his way around the kitchen, not just to the cereal aisle in the market.
