With the completion of the Horn Regatta, the Crimson is looking to continue its string of quality showings at the Atlantic Coast Championships next weekend, which will be held at Old Dominion in Virginia...
...their tribal, hormone-addled glory. They behave like adolescents everywhere, which is to say they dress badly, act obnoxious and travel in packs. Clans like Anarchy and the DiVas drape their slouching cartoon avs in baggy "sk8ter" duds and goof on one another with "scripts"--programs that let you string a strand of hearts around the neck of someone you admire or grandly urinate on someone you don't. In the Palace you never know what will happen. "The other night I was talking to this guy, and it turned out he was a Satanist," types a young South Park...
...opening band, String Cheese Incident, kicked off the night with a Phish-like number that had most of the crowd up and clapping, though not necessarily quite on beat. String Cheese combines everything from bluegrass to salsa rhythms in their music. Originally from Colorado, the band has matured and added variation to their music over the years.

...Nelson Braxton knew what they were doing (well, almost) when they put together Steppin' Out, their debut jazz album. Known as The Braxton Brothers (of no relation to Toni Braxton), their album is a charming showpiece for 24-year-old twin brothers from the Bay Area. Combining six-string bass, keyboards and drums along with acoustic and electric guitars, the young artists create dreamy, smooth compositions that are perfect for those rainy October nights when you don't feel like going to the Square...
