Colonials Weekend has come and gone. That pot of homemade chicken noodle soup that mom left in your refrigerator sits empty, growing some sort of funky residue with the rest of your dirty dishes in the sink. Yet, as the weather grows chilly, you yearn for a taste of something warm and familiar. What’s a […]

Perfect. Well, almost. The GW golf team finished out their storybook fall 2005 season, arguably their best since the 1940s, in perfect fashion. The Colonials carded a 576 to finish tied for second Monday in the Old Dominion University Seascape Invitational in Kitty Hawk, N.C. “We were very happy,” coach Scott Allen said in a […]

Their burritos are delicious, don’t get me wrong, and those handy instructions printed on your napkin certainly make the whole process of eating something as wide as your neck much less painful. However, I have to say I am very opposed to the idea of Chipotle opening their newest location in Quigley’s pharmacy. Now, I’m […]

The 9:30 Club is not the only place to see live music in the D.C. area. And the overt rudeness of the staff last time I was there has prompted a whole new goal in my Bar Belle adventures: it’s time to start finding bars with good booze, small covers and great tunes. Fortunately for […]

Disagreement among the Student Association Senate Finance Committee and student organizations has deepened within the last week as an increasing number of organization leaders said they have been denied funding from the SA.

Members of the Foggy Bottom Association, a group of community residents, have asked the mayor to refuse to let D.C. zoning agencies review GW’s plans […]

Freshman Kevin Eskowitz came to D.C. for the first time as an 8th grader on a school fieldtrip. Since then, his love for the city has grown and now he’s looking to infuse the local music scene with his acoustic musical stylings. “I really feel like there’s a music scene that’s bubbling within, and (D.C.)

If you have $5 Go on a search for free public art – in a portable toilet. A project called Found Sound has placed five portable toilets in various locations around the city, where they serve as listening booths for the work of curator Welmoed Laanstra until this Saturday. You have to go inside the […]

Here’s to November, a month filled with funk, jams, punk-rock, Thanksgiving turkey and Bob Saget. What combination could possibly be better? As always, the 9:30 Club will host a wide range of live performances, and this month the shows will go beyond the basic rock and hip-hop genres that usually grace its stage. On Nov. […]
