State Press Magazine: March 2nd, 2000

belly dancin:
there's more to it than scantily-clad harem girls gyrating to a tambourine. it's actually a lovely meditative art form.

theater arts:
shakespeare for the 17th century challenged. just in time for mardi gras, the asu theatre department has taken measure for measure and set it in 21st century decadant new orleans Ð and they do it well.

opinion cafe:
spm editor jessica wolf has a recipe for ecstasy. a healthy dose of caffeine, a dash of sugar, a few men in lingerie... the usual. you can talk dirty to her as well if you like, just make sure you use big words.

music notes:
london drum and bass artist aphrodite talks about his music, cross-cultural djing and how it all began.

music notes:
the king of parody plays the celebrity theatre tonight. see what weird al thinks of jerry springer and computer geeks.

¿qué pasa?:
it's thursday and the weekend's coming up. here's your guide to figuring out just what's worth doing around this town for the next couple of weeks.

music notes:
got haggis? we do. and it's not just for breakfast anymore. see what's up with the hard-working local boys with a scotland fettish.

motion pictures:
the scary thing is that verplanck, new york does not necessarily exist only in an alternate yugo-infested universe. this weekend's drowning mona is sure to tickle your funny bone.

cd reviews:
this one doesn't have "blister in the sun," but the new violent femmes cd might just be a spring break necessity. plus, more thuggish, ruggish rhymes from bone.

party scene:
those of us who aren't "fortunate" enough to attend mardi gras in person this year will just have to settle for reading about what we're missing... or there's always the playboy video.

next week:
*it's a surprise! so stop asking!

*other cool fun, and otherwise spiffy stuff you'll expect from the state press magazine
