Behind 'The Room'

On Friday night, I attended the Love is Blind Tour at MADCAP Theaters. The tour is a showing of "The Room" with special guests Tommy Wiseau, director, writer and lead actor ("Johnny") and supporting actor Greg Sestero ("Mark"). Before I went to the movie, I had only seen the trailer, so that was my only point of reference.

Inspirational phrases accent the fire-engine red and lime green walls. The carefree laughter of children echoes down the vivid orange hallway. A bit farther down the hall is a brick wall with names of people who've donated time or money.

12 Steps: An Outsider's Look at Alcoholics Anonymous

It’s Thursday night in downtown Tempe. The weekend has begun for many students at ASU, and the bars up and down Mill Avenue are opening their doors to accept the night’s first patrons. Soon, the alcohol will begin to flow, and there will be revelry. But one block away, in the balmy lobby of a small church, close to 100 people are taking part in this night’s meeting of “The Doctor’s Nightmare,” a speaker-based gathering of young people and an offshoot of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Republic Ramen

Don't call it a comeback. For students, ramen is cheap and easy, making it synonymous with the college lifestyle. As a result, ramen has long been a staple in the diet of college-aged kids everywhere, an aspect that new restaurant on which hopes to capitalize.
