“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.

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 […]

Hellships Break Out With “Leaden Hum”
by Issac Scott The first thing you notice about Hellships when they play live is their sheer brutality. Sure, a lot of bands play loud. Every high school metalhead has their Marshal half-stack of amplifiers turned to 11. But Hellships bring a new kind of intensity to their instrument that transforms […]
Artist Profile: RACE DILLON
When did you start taking photos? I got my first camera when I was fifteen as a birthday present. I never asked for one or particularly wanted one, but I guess my mom knew. I started taking it to the skatepark with me and it evolved from there. What drew you […]

Hump! Fest: Not Awkward
Porn and movie theatres – the image that used to come to my mind was that one scene from “The Departed”, with Jack Nicholson waving a rubber dick in Matt Damon’s face at a sketchy triple-x venue. They’re dirty, and above all, you’d never find me in one. However, Hump! […]
The “Forbidden Zone” Screening
AKA the time Danny Elfman’s brother told me to smoke pot. Trapped in a Closet Locked in a poorly lit, narrow side room of the Capitol Theater, the performers yelled at me to go find them some marijuana. The group of Olympians dressed in a variety of costumes—skeleton suits, devil […]
