When musicians perform, most will tell you the audience's mood can make or break a performance.
So when they perform at Jackson Avenue Coffee, 708 Jackson Ave., owner Ryan Dawson said the setting creates a different feel.
"At bars, people come in for the atmosphere, but when a band is performing, don't really pay attention," he said.

The premise seems simple.
Take a four-pound cheese wheel.
Shot put, roll or toss it onto a bulls-eye and score points based on where your partner stops it with a broom.
But looks can be deceiving.
"It's a lot harder than it looks," said George Fritz, an organizer of the Arthur Cheese Festival who oversees the cheese-curling event.

By his own admission, Vince Cain was "all over the place" on Friday night at the Red Barn.
When he wasn't preparing food or organizing canned goods, he was working with the seven bands the venue featured that night or working the door.
If he didn't get to stop and enjoy the music for a moment or munch on the food arrangement offered, it was because he was busy ensuring the success of Lambda Chi Alpha's first annual Chopstock music festival, an event that collected funds and canned goods to benefit Dare to Care food bank.

Though not as glamorous as a beach vacation or as profitable as a summer job, these students reaped benefits that they shared with communities both near and far with their humanitarian work in Uganda, travels to China and attendance at the Campus Progress National Student Conference in Washington D.C.

Recently, a few readers told me my reviews have been a tad one-sided. If I love a movie, I go on and on about how great it was and rarely mention anything negative about it. The opposite goes for the films I really dislike. So, I will attempt from now on to address the good and the bad.
