nightlife they will come to know and probably love. The cause of these tickets was not necessarily drugs or parties, but OPEN CON­TAINERS! NCNow News reported, “Vil­

lage police issued tickets for open container and underage consump­tion of alcohol with intent to con­sume Saturday evening and early Sunday.” These tickets were issued primarily on Bay Street and Pierre­pont Avenue, two main ‘highways’ where the cops crawl around, seek­ing anyone who might have some

kind of beverage in their hand.Seriously people, use a little

common sense. You’re underage, 9%,:5#$ '.1;;9$ )1+)6.7$ )"#$ &5##-%<$from overbearing parents and you’re making friends who want to party. Here’s a little advice from a senior who’s learned the hard way:THINK BEFORE YOU ACT!

When you’re going to a party, and you know you’re going to drink, bringing a bottle full of anything when your underage can be tempt­ing, but it’s grounds for immediate ticketing. Your name will go on the

record, and you’ll probably regret it the next morning when everyone is talking about it. Not to mention the buzz kill any cop can make you feel. Just don’t be STUPID! Use better judgment! (Freshmen,

I’m talking to you).It goes without saying that we

all could exhibit a little more care and attention to the little things. So don’t walk around with an open container, don’t be so obviously obnoxious late at night, don’t walk in large groups and be more careful to not get caught.

es’s very own Hurley’s Nightclub kicked off the Fall semester lineup with touring act Highly Suspect on Saturday, Sept. 6. While the crowd seemed mostly subdued, the band seemed unfazed as they tore up the stage over the three sets of diverse originals and covers.Hailing from Cape Cod, Highly

Suspect is a group of friends who collectively create some incred­ibly well crafted tunes that explore themes from punk rock, funk, reg­gae and at times the psychedelic. While their live sets are comprised of songs that segue seamlessly into each other and extended instrumen­tal breaks, Highly Suspect lacks several of the tropes found in “jam band” music. At one point during the performance, bassist Rich Mey­er even expressed the band held some enmity towards the term.Whatever the case, the solo sec­

tions were remarkably concise, and sincere musicianship was a constant throughout the performance. Also, unlike most jam bands, Highly Sus­pect had a repertoire of well­crafted tunes that were made all the more interesting with catchy vocal melo­dies and well­executed harmonies. Rounding out the set were some very tasteful covers including “Bil­lie Jean” by Michael Jackson, the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel­Air, and a rendition of “Seven

Nation Army” that I actually pre­ferred to the original recording by The White Stripes.While these are all be integral

factors for a great performance, Highly Suspect went above and beyond with their use of effects, pedals and other peripherals. Gui­tarist Johnny Stevens had an un­canny knack for knowing exactly when to toss in a bit of guitar delay or engage an octave pedal, and it made the performance all the more

engaging. Also utilized were two synthesizers at the front of the stage that Meyer and Stevens would use occasionally for atmosphere, and sometimes as primary instruments for songs. Needless to say, the band made a great deal of sound for just three guys.Though the performance was ex­

cellent, SUNY Potsdam’s student !"#$%#&'()*&+$%#,"--&#%*.&%!/++%"(%this show as attendance couldn’t have been more than thirty or forty

people. It hurts to see a band play almost unnoticed on campus when they are very accessible, especially if they’re hard­working musicians like the gents in Highly Suspect. Regardless, the band has made some recent headway with Atlantic Records, so there may be a major release on the way. If you haven’t already checked out the band, please do so. I’d hate to say, “I told you so,” when they’re touring the country.

Dan Adhoot, a well known comedian from New York City who has appeared on Comedy Central and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, performed for SUNY Potsdam students on Friday, Sept. 2 in the Union MPR.From the beginning, Adhoot made the

show hilarious. He began the show by in­tentionally picking on certain people in the audience, particularly those who had entered a few minutes late. He asked questions about them, which were the basis for his funny, tasteful jokes. This comedian, unlike oth­ers who have performed at SUNY Potsdam, did not rely on racist or offensive jokes. His stand­up was entertaining, impromptu, and had most of the audience in stitches. Ad­hoot’s repertoire was appropriate for college­

age audiences and relatable to everyone, which truly made it an entertaining show.At the end of the performance, Adhoot did

something entirely unexpected. Given the impromptu nature of his stand­up it could have been predicted, but nevertheless the '(/+&%A/1%&(*),&+$%18,-,)1)(=% *"%/++5%B#.""*%called up a member of the audience and prank­called the student’s parents, telling the shocked father that his son had been found with marijuana. This was a spectacular end­ing to the performance, one that had people walking away still laughing and in a much better mood than before. Dan Adhoot was a talented, tasteful comedian. Student Enter­tainment Services (which meets Saturdays at six in the union forum room) did an excel­lent job of choosing him for a great night of entertainment and alternative fun at SUNY Potsdam.

Having a desk calendar will help you deal with this ever­growing task list in a calm and collected manner.­Read your syllabus! You can use your desk calen­

Welcome back, Potsdam! I’m hoping your summer was bet­ter than mine. I spent the summer !"# $%&'()*# &+,!"-# &%# ."(# )# /%0# !"#a town that essentially closes for three months. This summer taught me the value of a dollar and other life lessons.Thank God summer family va­

However, food stopped being an issue when I walked into a beach chain store. Here, my North Carolina fate was smithed around the most epic pet available, a hermit crab.My girlfriend and I were walking

around Wings, checking out shirts and novelty lighthouses, when she stumbled upon a display for hermit crabs. “Buy a cage and get one crab 1+2234# !&# ')!(5#6%#72#8)--2(#(%7"#an associate, who in a Russian ac­cent asked me, “which you want?” By the third crab my mind was not made up, so the assistant pulled out a knife… and put it in the current crab’s claw. The crab pinched that knife so hard that when the Russian let go, it stayed vertical for ten sec­onds. “See, very strong,” he said. I was sold and named the crab Bruce. Now, Bruce may have had a pink and purple shell, but he was very secure with his masculinity, and could hold his liquor like a pro. Un­less the shell means he can hold his pink Cosmos like a pro.

I imme­diately regretted getting him that Houdini autobiography. I still wish him well on his new adventure. Perhaps I’ll read about him snow­boarding Mt. Everest, or stopping a would­be train robber. But, if he didn’t survive, or his high­octane life claimed him, then all I can say is Bruce...goodnight sweet prince.
