New York City deejay Venus X’s performance at Evergreen concluded International Womyn’s Week on Friday, March 8. A group of 20 to 30 TESC students danced winter quarter out of their systems during the hour-long set. Jazmin Venus “Venus X” Soto’s appearance at Evergreen follows on the tail of a […]
Nü Sensae Keeps Northwest Punk Rock Alive
Like a great Quentin Tarantino shootout, the new record from northwest punk trio Nü Sensae balances perfectly on the edge of senselessness: simultaneously orgiastic and faultlessly choreographed. Their second album, Sundowning was released last summer on Seattle’s Suicide Squeeze Records. On March 4, the Vancouverites played in Olympia at the […]
Full Moon Radio: Olympia’s Sexiest Band
Although they’ve only been around for a year, Full Moon Radio has proven themselves a force to be reckoned with. Their immediately likable music and rock star attitude are probably the reason Full Moon Radio was just voted Olympia’s “best new band,” “best indie rock band” and “sexiest band,” by readers and […]
Artist Profile: CHARLIA MESSINGER
CASV coordinator Charlia Messinger’s painting graces our cover this week. We asked her about her art and her advocacy. Why is the body so important in your images? As a fat woman, I have a very complicated relationship with my body. Of course, I think that all people do, but […]
SIXIS: New Beats for a New Mindset

Artist Profile: DANTE GARCIA
What’s your favorite material to work with? Easily a pencil or pen. I’m an old school doodler. Anytime I’m in class my pen or pencil is right at hand. It’s what I feel most natural with. Otherwise, I put a lot of energy into what I’m creating, so I like […]
Community Season 4: A Parody of Community
“Community” has never been a popular show. On a national scale it has been widely ignored. During it’s third season no episode topped four million viewers, a relatively miniscule number. This rating is especially small for NBC’s Thursday night comedy line-up, a block that has held shows like “The Cosby […]
First Time Doing Standup
I had five minutes to prove I was funny. I’m pretty sure everyone thinks they’re funny in some sense, but it’s a little different when you have to prove it to complete strangers. I told roughly a dozen people I would be performing standup on Thursday night at Al Forno’s, […]
Riot to Follow’s Pygmalion Nails Distinct Dialect
This past week Evergreen continued in its tradition of melding the arts with academics pursuits with the latest production from the Riot to Follow student group. Jane Adams, a literature and linguistics student, put on a production of Pygmalion, a play by George Bernard Shaw lauded for its literary quality […]
E-40 Upstaged By Juggalos
Arriving fashionably late, we waited in line as the doorman ushered in handfuls of twenty somethings as if we were waiting to enter a high profile nightclub. It was already 11 p.m., but the rush of intoxicated youth continued to bombard the Royal’s entrance as the muddled P.A.’s fueled our […]
