Whether you are looking for a laid-back evening, a late night of partying, or the opportunity to woo that mysterious new guy or girl who lives down the hall from you, we have the perfect event for you.
“Shrek the Third” is not Far Far Away
There’s no doubt that you’re aware of the green gentle giant Shrek. But if you have not seen the summer sensation “Shrek the Third,” you probably don’t know how intelligent fairy princesses really are. In “Shrek the Third,” the Famous Five Divas, Princess Fiona, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Rapunzel and Cinderella go on a rampage to prove to the world that fairy-tale princesses are not just about pretty faces and luxurious castles, but that they’ve also got brains and brawn. In addition, Justin Timberlake returns to the big screen as the voice of Artie. Meanwhile, Donkey competes for Shrek’s attention with Puss in Boots, the dashing, swashbuckling cat voiced by Antonio Banderas. An opportunity to get a taste of this summer treat before it hits the stores is not Far Far Away because “Shrek the Third” is Student Union Activities’ feature film this weekend. The film will play at 8 p.m. today and Saturday in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
B-Day Bash at Solidarity!
Are you sick of MTV? Dying to answer the call of your rebel soul? Stop by the Solidarity! Revolutionary Center & Radical Library at 1119 Massachusetts St. to celebrate the library’s sixth birthday at 7 p.m. Don’t expect to see militant orators spouting manifestos. Instead, prepare to enjoy an exhilarating performance by Girl in a Coma, an “all-female, socially conscious, indie-rock band,” as described by Ophra Leyser, DeKalb, Ill., graduate student and member of solidarity. Also look out for The Recipe, a Kansas City based spoken-word group that entertains with material about social justice and black liberation. There will also be food and party games for those that tire of talk about oppression. Children are welcome too.
