You prob- ably thought that all we did was work, night and day, tirelessly sing and fretting, trying to produce the best publication “inthe known universe. Vell you were right! Even when we’re, out n the town we’re researching articles to in- struct, enlighten and yes, even entertain ou, our readers. _ We’re on your side! We want you to get value you deserve from your entertain- ent dollar. So in the spirit of caveat emptor ere is a review of some hot spots around ancouver: Kits Cabaret is a large pub with loud ecorded music, a dance floor and pool ables. In other words, it is a multi-purpose rinking establishment - a very popular ulti-purpose drinking establishment. _It and this was on a attracts a well-be- crowd - it has the night. It aved, politely dressed ic ENTERTAINMENT hood pub. The music is okay with a mixture of *60’s rock and Top 40. What can I say? The place is inoffensive and pleasant but not very exciting. Mama Gold’s Restaurant is located in the heart of deepest Kitsilano. Let this be a warming to you. Any yuppie worth his or her American Express Gold Card would feel perfectly at ease here. The place screams of youthful affluence. The decor is what you would expect. Lots of dark green and dusty rose and expensive looking prints on the walls. But decor aside, food is what we were here for and the food was good. Jennifer claimed that her Fettucine Alfredo was worth dying for. A lively debate ensued as to whether or not a plate of fettucine is worth a human life. Rob claimed that while he would not be willing to sacrifice his life for his extremely tasty pasta, he would be willing to be dismembered. John agreed. He certainly enjoyed his caesar salad and veg- etables tempura, but the farthest he would be willing to go is to be dipped in acid and hung out to dry. I enjoyed my crunchy Vietnamese spring rolls in dignified silence finding this whole conversation to be mor- Out and about absolutely love Long Island Ice Tea exercise self-restraint at Mama Gold’s. John, who is an authority on Long Island Ice Tea, claimed that his tasted like gingerale. Besides, it costs $4.35. You are students and cannot af- ford such luxuries. The Savoy Cabaret in Gastown was our next stop. I am openly biased. I love this place. I have seen some wild and wonder- ful, strange and danceable bands here on many occasions. Wednesday night was no exception. The Wardells, a “power-pop” trio from Victoria was playing its collective heart out. These guys are tons of fun and play music you can really dance to. My fa- vorite song was about taking skin-heads bowling. “he Savoy is a small, cozy night- club which attracts a wide variety of people from the most conservative to those who defy description. I’ve never been bored at the Savoy. The cover charge varies with the popularity of the bands. It ranges from free (before 9:00 for some bands) to $5.00. If you want to check out the best local live music, the Savoy has it. Til next week, cheers. by Lori Donald ONE By Jordan Acomba On Saturday, January 31st, I saw a band called Dawn Patrol performs some late Sixties and early Seventies covers. They did some Psychedelia and some _ Blues/Rock tunes. They did songs like “Route 66”, “Mustang Sally” and several obscure Fats Domino and Chuck Berry songs. They are entertaining. You can see them, along with their Go-Go dancers, at the Railway club on Sundays. Other bands in town are Zappacosta, Feb. 3rd & 4th at the 86th St. Music Hall, and a band performing their first gig ever, The Treble Shooters, headlining at Chanel One on Feb. 11th. RECYCLE RECYCLE eel of an up-market 4 s Outrageous Fortune ne Films) suburban neighbour- Tt Reviewsil by David Mills bid in the extreme. Word of warning - if you Nobler... The only thing that these two have in common is a very expensive set of acting lessons. These’ take place in the private workshop of an interesting Russian acting RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER “Outrageous Fortune” is a very funny film, one I feel will be a smashing success. This film stars Bette Midler and Shelly Long as two aspiring actresses. Bette Midler plays an actress who stars in films like “Ninja teacher. They soon develop another Vixens”. Her character in “Outrageous common interest, they start dating the same Fortune” is a loud New Yorker, a role for man, a self-professed school teacher. Their man however, suffers at the hands of terro- rists and is killed. A chance encounter at the morgue between Midler and Long sets the stage for the rest of the film. The remainder of the film is a series of weird and wild events and chases. They are chased by everyone for a number of reasons. On the whole this film is worth the six dollars that the theatre will charge you to see it. which she is very well suited. Midler plays the type of woman who uses her feminine wiles for such things as keeping her phone connected. On the other hand Shelly Long plays an actress who wants to _ play “Hamlet”. She is the type of lady who owes her parents in excess of thirty thousand dollars. This debt was incurred to further her artistic training. ‘Ist Prize - $100.00 * 2nd Prize - $75.00 * 3rd Prize - $50.00 Judges to be announced The contest is open to all registe- red Douglas College students.
