Spring Break
Emily Beaulac her butler is a maid What You Want, released by The John Butler Trio on Lava Records, is a six-song EP, initially released in the United States, and soon to be followed by a full-length album in the spring of 2005.

I've heard about the North Star Bar before but never been there. It's sort of like the France of drinking, and if you don't know what I mean by that, re-read the first sentence in this review more carefully.
Tucked into a corner of Walnut Street, with an entrance so small you almost miss it, lies one of Philadelphia's tiny Asian treasures. Far from the bright signs and plastic take-out containers of Chinatown, Susanna Foo Chinese Cuisine shows a different side of Chinese fare.

The Democratic organization, Concerts for Change, (formally known as Concerts for Kerry) decided to pioneer a slew of shows in the tri-state area celebrating nights of reflection on the Democratic Party and Bush-bashing fun.

What did you do your first week in class?These first two weeks in London, I visited Trafalgar Square, Parliament, and Big Ben; strolled through Princess Diana's old neighborhood, Hyde Park; shopped at the Portobello Market; saw an Alan Bennett play at the National Theater; cooked an authentic British meal; ate curry in Leicester Square; and made it to class on time.
