A group of Cal Poly students is hosting a fundraising concert for Woods Humane Society on Saturday, Nov. 18 at Downtown Brewing Co. , as part of a class project.
The concert, for ages 18 and up, will start at 8 p.m. and feature popular local band The New Longview, with performances by The Archdukes, and, Rhodes.
Samuel Beckett once wrote “nothing is funnier that unhappiness.” This is true, but only up to a certain point when one sees the extreme sadness and bleak, but beautiful, human nature portrayed in the adaptation of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” by the Cal Poly theatre and dance department.
A concert benefiting the Homeless Shelter of San Luis Obispo will take place this Sunday at Mt. Carmel Lutheran Church at 1701 Fredericks St.
“We’ve been doing this for about 20 years,” said Bob Christenson, co-coordinator for Homeless Overflow at Mt. Carmel.
The Spanos Theatre is home to a fictional mental hospital from now until Sunday, when the Tony-award-winning “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” plays. The play, directed by theater professor Al Schnupp, features a cast from Cal Poly as well as local junior colleges such as Cuesta College and Alan Hancock College.
It sucks being the oldest out of all your friends. Not only do I get older before all the rest of them, I’m the mother of the group, making sure I carry the mints and the tissues. I’m fine with it really.
I spent my 2lst birthday with my mom and best friend in my apartment.
Christians have their sexuality all wrong. Believers are blind to the fact that Jesus never condemned prostitution, incest or even bestiality. Francis D. Ritter, a Certified Legal Advisor from Oceanside, Calif., argues this and more in his new book entitled, “Sex, Lies and the Bible: How Human Sexual Behavior is Controlled Through the Corruption of the Bible.
Everyone has been a victim of too much information at some point in their lives. And if you decide to read Augusten Burroughs’ memoir, “Running With Scissors,” it will most likely happen again.
The victim of a crazy mother and an even crazier psychiatrist/guardian (you will have to read the book to understand), young Augusten has a lot of odds stacked against him from the very beginning.
Garrison Keillor is arguably the radio show host who is most connected to his roots.
Keillor, probably best-known for his popular public radio show “A Prairie Home Companion,” will be bringing his gentle voice to the Performing Arts Center Jan. 24 at 8 p.
“We started how any band starts. in a shitty garage,” business senior Kyle Dozeman said.
Dozeman sings for Play It By, a band of Cal Poly students that describes its show as a “Rock Carnival.”
“We really want our show to be more of an entertainment thing,” said Danny Pozzan, a wine and viticulture senior and bassist for Play It By.
When Play It By performs in the University Union on Nov. 30, you may find more than lyrics about broken hearts, the longing for the one you can’t have, and drinking – even if these are themes most college students can relate to.
The simple lyrics are best described as typical when it comes to pop-inspired music.
Promoting shows for independent artists makes me feel like a used car salesman. Basically, I feel like I’m trying to sell everybody something that most people already believe sucks without having seen or heard. Used car salesmen have resigned themselves to being sleazy because they know their cars suck.
