The
deal is: If we see Bill Cosby at the Hult Center,
he must mention pudding snacks! We're sorry
for being so picky, but it's, like, what he's known
for, so there it is. Also there are reports that
say Cosby is recording a new hip hop album called
State of Emergency. The album will be free
of obscenities and address issues like parenting,
teen pregnancy, drug abuse, dropout rates in the U.S.
and proper nutrition (one song lyric allegedly goes
something like "Shut Up, Kid / Wear a rubber / Don't
shoot up nor drop out / Eat some pudding and love
each other.") Oh, we hope you pull through for us,
Mr. Cosby, or else we'll say the darndest things.
See Saturday Calendar.
We
don't know why we love vinyl records so much.
Maybe it's the soft crackle of a dusty disc, or
a purely analog output of the sound (no ones or
zeros!), or the oversized nature of the product,
giving weight and substance and importance to
something that brings us so much aural pleasure.
Or maybe we just like that we have to get up every
12 minutes to flip the record, making it an interactive,
aerobic way to listen to our favorite music. Either
way, we are so at the Eugene Record Convention
this weekend at the Eugene Hilton. Hey, we can
buy some new stuff, trade what we're willing to
part with or sell out our inventory (we're finally
moving on to cassette tapes!). Or we can, you
know, buy some of those weird compact discs or
other memorabilia from the golden '90s. And Mason
Williams will be there from 11 am to 3 pm! See
Sunday Calendar. 
What?
Is this National Dance Week or something?
If you like to dance, get thee
to a club, you hotpants-wearing
lush! But if you like to watch dance
(like say from a seat and not on
the periphery of dance floors with
cat eyes), then you've got über-options
this week. Starting on Friday, Sparkplug
Dance's (and EW's dance writer)
Rachael Carnes speaks at
the City Club Friday Forum on "The
Brain Dance: What Little Kids Already
Know," while later in the evening
Dance for a Reason (pictured
below) kicks off its dance extravaganza
at the Hult Center, where more than
15 dance groups are showcased in
this annual benefit event. On Sunday
an amateur dance group flaunts some
moves at "Some Enchanted Evening:
Our Favorite Moments in Dance,"
at Valley West Health Care Center.
Thursday sees the double bill of
the sexy, saucy Paco Pena Flamenco
Dance Company at the McDonald
Theatre and the UO's Faculty
Dance Concert, featuring new
work from Rita Honka, Sarah Franco,
Steven Chatfield, Amy Stoddart and
Walter Kennedy. But the faculty
show continues for two more days,
so check out Paco Pena on Thursday.
