Responding to the needs of our readers, we sent several writers out to find the best cheap dates in the Triangle. While we're glad to take credit for any play you get as a result of our suggestions, don't blame us if your girlfriend dumps you for spending your one-year anniversary at Wal-Mart. Let the fun begin...
Searching for that fourth class to keep you sane between Econ, PPS and Stats? For those of you too lazy to click on the Special Topics courses on ACES, Arts Editor Vicki Kaplan has hunted down these off-the-beaten-path gems for your personal renaissance.
For those of you interested in "culture" and "the Bard" and "boredom," the NC Shakespeare Festival starts in mid-August at the High Point Theatre. The first performance is of Shakey's supposedly funny Much Ado About Nothing. My suggestion: Billy Boy should see high comedy like Little Nicky before writing his next snoozer. Aug. 16-17 and 30 at 8 p.m. $16 for students. 1014 Mill Ave., High Point.
Recess editor Greg Veis caught up with Little Steven (né: Steven Van Zandt) earlier this month, and he talked to one of the busiest men in show business about the future of The Sopranos, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band1s new album The Rising and his Underground Garage radio gig:
He1s a Clark Kent wannabe with a Radiohead complex; she1s a drama major addicted to lip-gloss. Together they are 3Unseen Screen,2 the duo hitting up Blockbusters around the country. Their goal is simple: to find the most overachieving, underrated movies around. They1ve picked the videos they want you to see. Now comes the hard part.
Ever get flutters at the discount rack in Sak1s? Then, Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella is as much an incisive look into your own purchasing tendencies as it is simply a glimpse into the life of compulsive shopper Rebecca Bloomwood. Many Dukies can associate with Becky1s problems, and her brutally honest approach to life makes her an immensely likable, if immensely flawed, 20-something. Reminiscent of Bridget Jones1s Diary, Confessions is an entertaining narrative and a must-read for shoppers at heart.
Being sick folks, we sent our most macho movie reviewer to see the least macho movie of the summer. Here1s what Jon Schnaars had to say:
With the wear and tear that nearly 20 years of countless member changes, strategically-placed tube socks and enough drugs to kill a yak causes, the music world might have forgiven the Red Hot Chili Peppers for failing to deliver a worthy follow-up to 19991s hugely successful Californication. But By the Way is exactly what you would expect from one of the most talented alternative acts around: a perfect mix of Kiedis1 rapid-fire funk, Flea1s energetic slap bass and Frusciante1s six-string mastery. More melodic and intelligent than ever before, RHCP adds an inspired new chapter to an already impressive career. - DAVID WALTERS
Each year, Recess staff writers see countless theatrical productions, art exhibits and the like, and whether they're good or bad, we pass our reviews on to you. Now's the time to give you the best of all these art forms and reward those who did exceptional work with our annual Playground Awards. Drumroll, please...
Recess writers aren't known for mincing words, and the bad attitudes bubbling beneath the surface reveal just how many of us were beaten in kindergarten. Post-nerd and pissed off, we're the prime exemplars of undecaffeinated living. But nasty or not, the point remains: The pen is mightier than the sword.
Here at Recess, we're tough critics, but when we like 'em, we love 'em. Disregard the nasty quips and biting sarcasm and feel the lovage, baby. After all, this is Duke--A's are easy to come by.
The best advice is unsolicited. Follow these tips for the most, umm, "memorable" spring break experience.
Script Summary: Three nubile and virginal Recess section editors, Meg Lawson, Kelly McVicker and Cary Hughes, and one mysteriously sexy managing editor, Greg Bloom, embark upon a voyage of excitement, hardship, and self-discovery when they go together to see pop diva Britney Spears' movie debut.
Spring 1997: Calling the restaurant "old, tired, and mediocre," Jim Wulforst, director of dining services, announces a menu and atmosphere overhaul. Wulforst considers changing to a buffet-style format.
