Pepper Gets Too Spicy at Annual Extravaganza
What better a day could you imagine than going to a free show at UCSB?

I was particularly excited about the Hawaiian band, Pepper, since I have never seen them perform live before.

If You Don’t Give A Fuck About The Sunshine. . .
The recipe for A.S. Program Board’s Extravaganza 2006, held on May 21, was fairly straightforward.

Sure, Extravaganza would have been better if the sun decided to join the screaming throngs of people that turned out to see E-40, but this year’s show still managed to draw huge crowds, high-energy performances and at least one girl willing to flash the crowd at Pepper’s request.

Cracking the Code
The screen faded to black, and the credits slowly began to roll. Amid the few, less-than-uproarious rounds of applause, one statement could be heard over and over again, “The book was so much better.”
Gaucho Bar-Hopper Bids Adieu to UCSB
Four years after graduating from Casa Roble Fundamental High School and on the eve of a similar graduation here, I’d like to think I’ve learned a thing or two. I can now tap a keg, deconstruct a film in a manner no one outside of film studies would comprehend, and reverberate the Associated Press stylistics with my eyes closed.
