Laughter is said to be the best medicine. This Saturday, be prepared to be healed. The “Friends of the Bob and Tom Show Comedy Tour” is coming to the Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m.
The tour is featuring four comedians, Auggie Smith, Greg Warren, Henry Phillips, Mike Birbiglia and host Mike Macrae, who are frequent guests on the syndicated morning comedy radio show, “The Bob and Tom Show.
I’m not much of a world traveler. I’ve been to New York and I once spent a couple of weeks in China, but I’ve never been to any of those incredible foreign cities that have the non-stop party atmosphere of say, Barcelona, Milan or Prague. But destined as those wonderfully hedonistic, debauchery-laden, foam-filled escapades are to come, I only had to travel a little ways north to experience that larger-than-life nightclub vibe, and I couldn’t have done it without some charitable connections.
So, I know we read enough already. I’ve seen all of you struggling up the hills and dales of Cal Poly with enough books to keep the chiropractors in business. And I’m also aware that way too much of our already-scant incomes go to paying for these aforementioned tomes.
Rockstar Games: The one video game company that can’t release a single game without making national, and sometimes international, news. How many developers can boast that?
Whenever Rockstar is in the news, it usually means the infamous attorney Jack Thompson is on a mission to burn down their headquarters in Manhattan (unless they’re off making ping-pong games for unknown reasons).
They say that New York is the city that never sleeps. Believe me, it doesn’t. Within its neon-lit streets – jumping with speeding taxis and fat, fluffy squirrels – is a constant adventure waiting to be had.
Compared to good old San Luis Obispo, which shuts down at the ripe hour of about 6 p.
Do you ever get the feeling that some weeks are better than others? Last week was “Employee of the Month,” this week is “Man of the Year.” Somehow going from “month” to “year” was all it took to help us forget Jessica Simpson’s existence and savor Robin Williams’ return to comedy.
One of the most rewarding things my music will ever give me is a big huge hug. And then we will sit there and cuddle, eat popcorn and watch movies late into the night. I’ll feel warmer and happier than I did during any other moment of my day.
This is the reason why so many people followed the Ghost Mice/Matty Pop Chart tour into San Luis Obispo Sunday night.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA – Campus Officer Ted Lomax broke sweat on Monday by furiously pedaling out of his ambush spot in pursuit of freshman student Lori Prince, who was fined $1,125 for failing to walk her bike through three different walk-bike zones and resisting arrest.
It was “Saturday Night Live” all over again at the Christopher Cohan Performing Arts Center on Saturday night. The reason? Former “SNL” cast member Jon Lovitz was in town. The veteran of 30 films including “A League of Their Own” and “Benchwarmers” regaled the crowd with his thoughts on everything from his own sexuality (he’s not gay but Bob Saget is another story), to his religion – he wants everyone in SLO to know he’s not a Jew, he’s Jewish.
So, you’re hanging out with your friends who you endearingly call “wine-a-holics” and you’re discussing your favorite wines. Everyone is quick to name their favorite red and what seems to be the “in” varietal at the moment. All of the sudden your mom walks in on the conversation and drops her opine.
Former Saturday Night Live cast member Jon Lovitz will be coming to Cal Poly on Saturday night as part of the Welcome Back presentation for students. Lovitz will be performing at the Christopher Cohan Center at 8 p.m.
Lovitz is best known for his off-beat characters on Saturday Night Live, but has also appeared in numerous feature films including “Little Nicky,” “High School High,” “City Slickers” and “A League of Their Own.
