I'd like to start out this column by posing a question to you, readers, and the entire Screen Actors Guild: What the hell is a female actor?
Drew: Tagged down behind enemy lines, you might not expect to find a delicious plate of crispy egg noodles. But that’s exactly what you’ll encounter at regionally famous Saigon Legend, located on 1228 W. University Ave. This unassuming Vietnamese eatery doesn’t plaster its rooms with glow-in-the-dark tables and new-age bullshit; instead it brings a nice medley of pork, chicken and Asian vegetables that will delight the senses and set your taste buds ablaze.
Local venues can expect black liquid latex, airborne broken items and mayhem when Murder FM takes the stage on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at 1982.
Remember when MTV aired shows that didn’t render its acronym a complete misnomer? If you, like me, were still in diapers when the “Real World’s” first season rocked the world of television, my guess is that you can’t. But today, what the network lacks in substance it compensates for with its remarkable ability to repackage the utterly talentless among us as entertainment.

I get it. You're in a band. What I don't understand is why you think everyone wants to know (or cares).
Deciding where to eat on your next late-night food run just got harder. You now have more to add to your repertoire of fast-food options.
While you were out having a good time Friday night, we blindly sampled a list of light beer so you wouldn’t have to. Two dozen beers later, we are weary but wiser. What should you drink? What shouldn’t you drink? What helps you stay slim? What if you don’t like beer at all? We have everything you need to know to get started.
Don’t you dare throw this lovely piece of literature that we call The Alligator away. And I’m not suggesting that you go green and skip your pretty little feet on over to the recycling bin either. Save your newspapers; they could be used as the inspiration for one of this year’s performances at the Gainesville Improv Festival.
