It’s time for the semiannual intramural scavenger hunt. This timeless tradition is a fun opportunity for one team to get some extra cash. The first team to turn in all of the items from the list will win $300. The scavenger hunt six-category list ranges from super easy to super tough.
Seussical is exactly what it sounds like — a musical based on the ideology and stories of Dr. Seuss. Horton the Elephant is the only animal in the Jungle of Nool that can hear the Whos, who are living on a precarious speck of dust. The story is narrated by the Cat in the Hat, who plays Jiminy Cricket to Jojo, an imaginative boy from Whoville.
Weezer’s “Troublemaker” Tour will make its stop in Utah when it comes to the E Center on Oct. 7. And with some new hits and plenty of old favorites, this show will definitely be worth the price of admission. Weezer’s sixth studio album, simply known as The Red Album, is one of the most fun albums that Weezer has put out in a while — its song “Troublemaker” dominating the airwaves.
When Rock Band arrived last November it was greeted with both breathless anticipation and a kind of gloomy skepticism.

I got Eddy Current Suppression Ring’s second LP, Primary Colours, in the mail last week. It’s the 41st release from the Memphis based Goner Records label. The band is from Australia. I shared a plane ride with them from Memphis to Salt Lake City last year and they were astounded by how well Americans treated them.
It’s important for people to look like what they are. Administrators wear suits, chefs wear toques, rock stars let their hair grow out, and Democrats wear the word “Hope” on their T-shirts. To flaunt your political leanings while supporting your chosen candidate, it’s easiest to go straight to the candidate’s Web site.
Spring 2009’s fashion shows began and ended last week at Fashion Week in New York, and admittedly, Utah didn’t blink an eye. The Beehive State is notoriously far removed from the frontier of fashion, but we still can’t help but be affected by the goings-on of the fashion elite.
In the U.K., Ricky Gervais is a big deal. In the U.S., while not many may know his name, almost everyone is familiar with his creation. Gervais is the 47-year-old co-creator/writer and star of the hit BBC shows The Office, which spawned an American imitation with Steve Carell playing his part, and Extras, which HBO distributed domestically.
A resort and adventure center opened in Orem this year with outdoor pool and grass area, planned trips to nearby sightseeing hotspots, 24-hour a day staff and medical care, and top-of-the-line meals. To spend time at the resort, potential roomers have to pass physical and psychological tests.
