Ryan Star Stars
Singer/songwriter Ryan Star performed at
Edinboro University on Thursday,
November 9, 2006. An enthusiastic crowd
estimated at over four hundred was wowed
by his soul wrenching solo offerings.
Star played the piano and guitar to
accompany his unique blend of pop
ballads.
Prior to the start of the
concert, Star held a meet and greet for
local fans. Not the stereotypical rock
star, Ryan Star is a down to earth,
likeable guy, who seems to revel in the
opportunity to rub elbows with his true
fans. His music touches people where
they live, which seems to form a bond
between he and them.
The highly successful event was set up by
Carla Behr, Edinboro University employee
and Journalism major.
Andy Dick Comes to Town
In a coup for Edinboro University, thanks to the tireless efforts of John C. Lyons, EUP staffer and local filmmaker, actor Andy Dick visited campus
just before summer break. Andy showcased his first independent film effort as a producer,
and appeared in front of a SOLD OUT Cole
Auditorium crowd, to the delight of hundreds of students.
While the event was an unqualified success for the on-campus event, Andy got into a fight in a local bar afterwards with his producer. Typical Andy Dick, this garnered mention in several tabloids. Certain EUP officials were reportedly miffed
at the publicity.
Parking Woes
A big story over the summer
was the implementation of parking regulations. There was some grumbling at the number of
sticker rejections due to minor errors
in filling out the online application, but in the end everyone who persevered got a sticker. The rest will be ticketed repeatedly.
Wristcutters
The dark comedy
Wristcutters: A Love Story played
on Wednesday, November 1, 2006 at the EUP Cole Auditorium. The Director and
an actor were present to answer
questions about this award-winning film.
