'That'll do.' Babe's ends its 12-year run

By Blair Payne · Monday, Jan. 24, 2005

Last night, faithful Babe's Billiards patrons gathered to play pool, eat food and drink beer for the last time. Some people came from as far as Houston to mark the closing of the Tenleytown pool hall and bar, while others walked from campus. The AU weekend-night staple closed because its owner lost the bar's lease. A 42-unit, five-story condominium complex will replace it.

Movie Matches: 'Precinct 13' has '13' title contenders

By Daniel Longino · Thursday, Jan. 13, 2005

It's hard to think of 13 reasons to go see this week's guns-a-blazin' Laurence Fishburne plus Ethan Hawke with a little twist of John Leguizamo remake "Assault on Precinct 13." (The only good reason I can think of is that Ja Rule is in it! "It's murrrderrr.) Thirteen might be considered an unlucky number in reality, but in movies, it's a number that, uh, is in a lot of titles...

DQ brings the blizzard in not-so-good 'Company'

By Daniel Longino | January 13

Hoping for a good movie in January is kind of like waiting for that snowstorm in May: The odds are just stacked against you. After studios drop their high-profile Oscar contenders in December, they typically dump surefire stinkers in the beginning of the new year ("Elektra" anyone?). However, every now and then an excellent film will come along this season and surprise you. "In Good Company" is not one of these films, but not for a lack of trying.

It's all Greek ... at AU and in movies

By Blair Payne | January 13

Greek recruitment, which begins Friday, provides students with an opportunity to get involved with AU's fraternities and sororities. While many students partake in these activities, not everyone chooses to participate in recruitment. In fact, AU has fewer sororities and fraternities than other schools in the area, including University of Maryland-College Park and George Washington University.

Marsalis returns, shows 'Human Nature'

By Neal Fersko | December 13

Wynton Marsalis' map of accomplishment commonly runs through two points: his birthplace in New Orleans and his adopted home of New York City, where he serves as music director for Jazz at Lincoln Center. However, he maintains a special relationship with Washington, D.C., as well. In April 1997, Marsalis premiered his oratorio "Blood on the Field" in D.C., the first jazz composition to ever receive the Pulitzer Prize in music. On Friday night, this relationship bore fruit once again when Marsalis premiered his new "Suite for Human Nature" at the historic Lincoln Theatre.
