...clubs, concerns about sexism, elitism, and classism. I was careful to keep them in mind throughout the punch, but was a little confused when they weren’t overtly confirmed every step of the way. The first punch event was a cocktail party at an art gallery downtown. All the members I met were nice and polite and had cool things to say. We drank whiskey and smoked cigarettes and made the owners of the art gallery nervous. I had fun. As I went to the next few events similar things kept happening. I met some guys that...
...Dominion, Kaine, 47, and his opponent, Republican Jerry Kilgore, 44, held their election-night parties across the street from each other in downtown Richmond, with an Elton John concert two blocks away, creating mayhem in the normally sedate capital.

At Arizona, he shared the backcourt with future NBA All-Stars Jason Terry and Mike Bibby, yet Simon, for those two weeks in March of ‘97, was the unquestioned hero, dropping...
...reasonably well-played, of a band too well-loved. A more nuanced impression of Tuesday night’s events could be seen in the dust-covered curtains and the ornate molding’s flaking paint.The Orpheum is a beautiful theatre almost trapped in the throes of modern downtown Boston. The faded, threadbare tapestries on the walls resonate with the hall’s hallowed history. One website recalls the tradition with nostalgic grace.
