...members the Klub boasts—made it to the Quad. And the ones who were in attendance are not supporting Sarah Palin’s bid for vice president. “Somebody back home said a good metaphor for her as a leader is like a surfer waiting for the waves to come and just choosing one to ride in,” said Alaska Klub Co-President Timothy L.H. Treuer ’10, who said he is going to vote for Law School graduate Barack Obama. “She doesn’t have...
...director, Kathryn Bigelow, has paraded her adroitness with complex stories about oddball characters in two curious subgenres: Near Dark (1987) was the all-time teenage vampire love story, Point Break (1991) the all-time surfer-heist movie.

How do you feel? ''Stoked'') hung out without complaint. After all, all they ever do is eat, sleep, surf and have sex, wearing basically no more raiment in one endeavor than another. The scene of this wait was the Non Nuoc Hotel, which offered...
...most respects, Vedder is showing a surfer's balance. His only visible excess is that he has taken to lugging a bottle of wine around stage when he performs. He has the same girlfriend, Beth Liebling, that he's had for nine years. Even the spat with Nirvana is patched up. "That's all been taken care of now, that whole relationship," he told Melody Maker...
