Every time I get on the phone with my Internet provider, I’m always pleasantly offered to upgrade with a cable package. How sweet, they offer me a deal that charges double what I pay monthly for awful Internet service. Of course, I turn them down with the same excuses each time: college student who’s never home, rarely turning on the TV and simply not having the money — the first two of which are complete Oscar-Mayer-copyrighted bologna. Truly, I have discovered the loophole I can only hope a majority of college students have, too: the art of Netflix, Hulu, LetMeWatchThis.com and an HDMI cable.

Since the dawn of time, sick and twisted souls across the world enjoy getting the daylights scared out of them through movies, tales and haunted houses. This reporter happens to be one of them.

Dining halls — enough said, right? While ASU has given students a myriad of options of evolved cafeteria food, the average student will eventually miss the smell of a home-cooked meal or the fresh taste of a domestic culinary creation. While Tempe campus flurries with dining options outside of dining halls and the Memorial Union, smaller campuses around the Phoenix area struggle to have an affordable alternate in reach. This is especially true for the Downtown campus, which is located in the middle of Phoenix’s business district, where shops and restaurants generally close around 5 p.m.

The beat drops, the audience screams, the feet pound on the ballroom floor, and that’s when one must wonder: is the floor is supposed to vibrate like that? It is doubtful that the Phoenix Convention Center has ever seen a show quite like this.

Tempe native Roger Clyne has been rocking for years, closing the gap of fame and charity as he uses CD releases, connections and his ability to gather a crowd for the greater good. With the Peacemakers, he has led his charitable rock band for almost 13 years now. The band’s upcoming event will be record-breaking — seriously. On April 16, Clyne plans to have his fans at Salt Rivers Fields for his latest album release for “Unida Cantina.” All the fans have to do is show up … with a sombrero. Named, fittingly, the Sombrero Solution, Clyne wants to break the world record for most sombreros worn in one location. All proceeds will go to Valley of the Sun United Way.

Sharon Von Etten, a timid, Jersey-girl indie musician, has been through her fair share of life lessons. After getting her heart broken in Tennessee, Von Etten picked herself back up, headed back to the East Coast and nabbed an internship with Ba Da Bing Records doing behind-the-scenes work. The label discovered this quiet girl’s talents and she switched rolls. Now touring for her second album, “Epic,” Von Etten has opened up more as she finds herself through recording. The State Press spoke with the mellow rocker Wednesday before her show at the Rhythm Room.

Leonardo DiCaprio, I am disappointed in you. I sit down in a theater for a movie I'm on the fence about; within the first few seconds, your name pops up. You helped produce this? It must be good! You, Leonardo, create golden works. What a misleading credit ...
