From glitter and glam to mud puddles and hard rock, there's plenty to do in Lawrence this Labor Day weekend.
"PAGEANT. THE MUSICAL"
If you love solemnity in musicals, where the songs are deep with emotion and the actors are utterly serious-minded and thoughtful, then "Pageant, the 'Musical' isn't something you'll be interested in.
This fun-filled, laugh-a-minute show is about . . . you guessed it—a pageant. As you watch, six contestants will be competing for the title of Miss Glamoureuse.
at 2:30 p.m. Sunday in Murphy Hall,
located north of Allen Field house.
Tickets are $10 for students and $15
for general admission.
The contestants will sturt their stuff in the swimsuit, evening gown, spokes model and talent categories. With an oily host to guide the sometimes incomprehensible contestants through the events and production numbers, the show promises to be complete hilarity.
Pageant sounds like a musical every guy would be stampeding the theatre to see except for the small, incidental fact that the contestants are played by men in drag.
The play will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and
Because of their celebrity status, this show and the performers really don't need an introduction—but here it is for nonrockers:

It's a three-day weekend, so no need to worry about Monday morning classes while these three bands start rocking at 7:30 this Sunday at Kemper Arena in Kansas City. Tickets cost between $47.50 and $55.50, and from what nearly every local radio station is saying, the show promises to be a Beakend hit.

million copies of its newest album, "All the Right Reasons," plans to release another album in November or December.
Daughtry, the group formed after Chris Daughtry's expulsion from "American Idol," sold more than 1 million copies of its debut album in just five weeks, making it the fastest-selling rock debut album of all time.
Puddle of Mudd, a post-grunge band from Kansas City, Mo., has had its share of rocky moments after two of its members left the group in 2005. This caused the group's most recent album to be delayed for a second time. The album is supposed to finally reach shelves on October 2. Despite the pitfalls, Puddle of Mudd's last three singles have made it to the top 50 of the US Modern Rock charts.

Couple has second set of triplets, expects 300 weekly diaper change $ ^{e} $
CINCINNATI — Already the proud parents of triplets, Victoria and Tim Lasita had decided they wanted to have "one more."
"I guess we should have been more specific and said one more child, not one more set," said Victoria. 39, who delivered the couple's second set of triplets Wednesday after 34 weeks of pregnancy.
The Lasitas conceived both sets of triplets naturally, without fertility treatments.
"Holy smokes. Do you know what the odds of that are?" said Dr. Glen E. Hofmann, medical director of the Bethesda Center for Reproductive Health and Fertility.
The answer: about one in 8,000
for a woman to have triplets naturally, and about one in 64 million of her repeating the feat, according to Hofmann and Dr. Sherif G. Awadalla, medical director of the Institute for Reproductive Health in Cincinnati.
The Lasitas welcomed 4-pound, $2\frac{1}{2}$-ounce Casey Alexander into the world at 1:57 p.m. Wednesday, followed seconds later by 4-pound, $1\frac{3}{2}$-ounce Caden Bradley, and 2 minutes later by 4-pound, $9\frac{1}{2}$-ounce Carson Charles. All were between $17\frac{1}{2}$ and 18 inches long.
"Everybody seems to be doing well," said the father, 48, who watched the Caesarean-section births in a delivery room filled with 18 medical personnel.
It's still unclear when the triplets will go home to live with Jessica, Jillian and Brian, who will turn 4 in December.
WILLS POINT, Texas — Entomologists are debating the origin and rarity of a sprawling spider web that blankets several trees, shrubs and the ground along a 200-yard stretch of trail in a North Texas park.
Those three were born at 28 weeks, and all weighed less than 3 pounds at birth. Lung problems contributed to "a little rocky start," Victoria Lasita said, but overall, they're healthy.
The Lasitas said the new triplets will mean about 300 diaper changes a week, and about 168 bottles.

Spiders spin web of wonder on Texas park trail
"At first, it was so white it looked like fairyland," said Donna Garde, superintendent of the park about 45 miles east of Dallas. "Now it's filled with so many mosquitoes that it's turned a little brown. There are times you can literally hear the screech of millions of mosquitoes caught in those webs."
Spider experts say the web may have been constructed by social cobweb spiders, which work together, or could be the result of a mass dispersal in which the arachnids spin webs to spread out from one another.
Officials at Lake Tawakoni State Park say the massive mosquito trap is a big attraction for some visitors, while others won't go anywhere
"There are a lot of folks that don't realize spiders do that"; said Jackman, author of "A Field Guide to the Spiders and Scorpions of Texas."
