Sherwood comes to UU Hour today

Known as one of the most industrious bands in their league, Sherwood will bring its sharp lyrics and indie charm to UU hour today.

Having formed in 2002 while students at Cal Poly, Sherwood offers songs that are influenced by The Beach Boys and Jimmy Eat World, among others.

Found Sound

I did not go to my first local show until I was a year and a half into living in San Luis Obispo. Coming from Reno, it was hard to understand that anything worthwhile could come from a small town scene.

My mind quickly changed after shows featuring the Attractives, Mariee Sioux (of Brightblack Morning Light), the Louvre, and Midnight Shark Attack among others.

'The Black Dahlia,' stylish but incoherent

I wish I could have been at the premiere of “The Black Dahlia.” Not to have reveled in its entrance into Hollywood, but rather to have seen director Brian De Palma’s exuberant grin at the end of the film contrasting the audience’s look of confusion, anger and embarrassment.

PAC continues celebration of 10-year anniversary

In honor of its 10th anniversary, the Cal Poly Performing Arts Center is offering $5 “rush” tickets to students during its Anniversary Festival Week, which runs from Sept. 23 to Oct. 1.

The first performance of the PAC’s second decade premieres Sept. 28 at 7 p.

Perfecting German flirting

In my first month abroad, I have discovered one of the great dichotomies of German romance: flirting versus sex. Now, I understand that flirting and actual sex are two very different things, but last time I checked, flirting is often the first in a series of steps to having sex.

Frankly Speaking

If they made a Disney movie about a volleyball team conquering adversity, I’m convinced Cal Poly would be the featured team.

Two years ago, the program was on the verge of catastrophic meltdown. Players were quitting, the team was losing – a lot – and veteran coach Steve Schlick resigned following the season.

Back-to-back goals clinch Poly win

Two quick goals midway through the first half put Cal Poly ahead for good as the Mustangs improved to 3-3-4 on the season with a 3-0 win over San Jose State at the Sports Complex Tuesday night.

Cal Poly scored twice within a one-minute stretch in the 33rd and 34th minutes and took a 2-0 lead into halftime.

Is facebook about to become the new MySpace?

The world of poking and wall posts has now been opened up to everyone as the facebook creators decided to allow anyone to join Tuesday morning.

The change was a touchy topic for a while before users were notified that all their friends could now use the site.

Jackass 2 hilariously stupid

Somewhere through the middle of this film, I wondered if I should make an emergency dash to the restroom in the theater lobby or just outright barf into my popcorn bucket. Heck, the guy three seats over from me did it, so why should I feel embarrassed to follow suit?

Then I thought to myself: never mind the feeling of embarrassmen that is about to shower out of my esophagus; the feeling of embarrassment for sitting through this unbelievable display of “stupid human tricks” that is “Jackass: Number Two” is overwhelming enough.

This story could have your byline

There were people all around, lines outside of every bar and with the start of another quarter just days away, students were everywhere to get a few more drinks in before the homework would begin to pile up.

I am not sure why Sarah decided to go downtown last weekend, but she did.
