choice weekend What we want you to do.Really. Do it.
8/19 Thurs.
Wait for Free
Take a load off your first day of classes and add another classic to your movie repertoire. If you like satire, director Christopher Guest and his film, Waiting for Guffman will not disappoint. Set in the
fictitious small town of Blaine, Mo., a cast of random townsfolk piece together a play to celebrate Blaine's sesquientennial. You will laugh, then laugh some more. The show starts at 7 p.m. at the Spencer Museum of Art.
8/20 Fri.
It's Like a Drive-In On a Hill
Interested in what a crazy hired hit-man and a dentist have in common? You are if it involves Matthew
Perry and Bruce Willis. You might have thought you had all of the answers when you saw the funny flick, "The Whole Nine Yards," but the craziness continues. SUA will be sponsoring the movie on the hill by showing "The Whole Ten Yards" on West Campanile Hill Friday August 20 at 10 p.m. All you need to bring is yourself and maybe a blanket to sit on.
8/21 Sat.
Be Helpful
If you have the urge to help out in your community, we have the need. The Center for Community Outreach is giving volunteers the opportunity to make things better. Volunteers can spend the day with local organizations and strive to make a difference in Lawrence. Everyone should meet for the Community Service Project on the fourth floor Lobby of the Kansas Union at 10 a.m. Saturday, August 21. Buses will transport you around town to various organizations. Not only will this give volunteers a chance to learn about other volunteer opportunities at the University of Kansas but all who help will be served with free lunch.
8/22 Sun.
A True Texan Son
After listening to Robert Earl Keen, it becomes obvious that his gift to the audience is his storytelling. The characters in his songs rival those of novelists and compliment the "alternative country" style that Keen has created. Keen is a proud son of Texas, and if you have never heard of him, check out the So Sorry Blues, Corpus Christ Bay and Dreadful Selfish Crime to get a taste of his style before going to his show at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
