Yawning myself awake at 3 p.m., I stretched underneath the covers and half-consciously catalogued my chores for the rest of the day: find some sandwich combination that goes with salmon cream cheese, finish my short story about the water buffalo with the nose job, drive to La Encantada and walk around like I'm rich, continue to comprehend the implications of “Flatland” and the fourth dimension, hopefully be able to visualize it, call the Motor Vehicle Department and masturbate.

Looking for something fun and interesting to do this weekend? A movie at The Loft Cinema may be what you're waiting for.

This weekend, the independent theater will present “The 'Grease' Sing-A-Long.” Attendees are invited to dress up, sing and dance along with one of America's favorite rock 'n' roll musicals.

Few bands are fortunate enough to have legions of fans right from the beginning.

Aaron Gillespie, drummer/vocalist of the scream-friendly band Underoath, had that advantage when starting a new group, The Almost, in 2005. While Underoath fans were already interested in hearing The Almost's music, promotion was still an issue.

While pop-punk bands like Fall Out Boy and Good Charlotte are popular on radio and TV, it's hard to find bands that provoke much hatred. It's as if for every such band, there are thousands of music snobs ready to point out flaws in each of its songs.

The Starting Line is one band constantly barraged with the pop-punk label.

Every once in a while, a movie comes along that is so stunning, so powerful, so breathtaking that it seems destined for an eternal place in cinematic history.

Hit or miss - a catchphrase Seattle indie-rock favorites Minus the Bear know all too well.

The sometimes-prog-rock, sometimes-dance-pop band's anthology of albums and EPs, along with a consistent touring schedule, have kept them on the map since 2002 when its debut LP, Highly Refined Pirates, became a staple at scenester dance parties.

Being stranded around campus after drinking a few too many beers can be brutal. What's worse is the looming possibility of getting a DUI when you decide to drive home after a celebratory first week back at school.

So, why not take a cab? Besides the stereotype that they are all dirty and driven by creepy old men, they are handy for carpooling and making sure you don't tarnish your (hopefully) flawless police record.

Summer is typically a dry time for comics. Publishers tend to focus their attention on events like Comic-Con, a convention for fans, and summer movies.
