Sais up

by Stephanie Willett On November 30, Ginger,

along with their opening act, .

King’s Ransom, played at the Overdrive to a packed house. The concert was great and the band played the music from their debut album, Far Out. For those who do not know, three members of Ginger are former members of the Grapes of Wrath. When the Grapes of Wrath-split up, Kevin Kane got the name and so the three remaining members of the group set out to form Ginger, in 1992. These guys, Tom Hooper, Chris Hooper and Vincent Jones went on their own and recorded the new

album, with Tom | Hooper doing the lead vocals. The new album is quite mellow and acoustic, not like the last Grapes CD, but more like their earlier stuff. Although the album is good, Ginger sounded much better live. —

Ginger played a fantastic concert, and got the audience into the mood by relating background stories for many of their songs. The audience danced in front of the stage and some even tried to mosh. All around it was a fun night with good music. Unfortunately there was a grumpy stage manager, who would not lét me interview the

Prince George Nightlife

band, but all in all I had a blast, as:I am sure most who went to the concert will agree.

Madame Zorba's Crystal Ball

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Ah, the dreaded finals are approaching. What are you going to do? Find your friends and drink until you puke or will you study in your room until you believe the walls are talking to you? Well, because Madame Zorba is a psychic she knows what you will probably end up doing, but she will not reveal the truth in hopes that you will

find the correct path for your’

self. Good Luck.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The holidays are approaching and you realize that you will be free from the shackles of school very soon, and so dragging your butt out of bed every morning is becoming quite a_ hassle. Try to

remember, though, if you flunk .

out of school then you will be getting up at 6:00 am every morning so that you can go to work. No more afternoon classes, or late morning sleep- ins for you. Just think and be happy that you still have the freedom of going to school.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Madame Zorba is getting a little long in the tooth, and so her predictions may be a little off sometimes, but this time she is right on the dot. She sees you stressing out to the max. and trying to be all things at once, but it is important to

remember that you can go too far. Relax a little before your tests and the regular holiday stresses. Maybe go the out and treat yourself to a Mocha or a corn dog.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) As you go into your

- exams try a couple of stress

techniques, like breathing calmly, and deeply, maybe have a cup of tea with honey, but do not, I REPEAT, do not take caffeine pills! Trust Madame Zorba...these are bad news! Ps it would be a good idea to stay away from the valum as well.

Leo (July 23- Aug. 22)

So Leo, you are feeling a little peekish? Too many late nights studying(?), or was that just too many late nights period. I know how you feel. You may find it hard to believe, but Madame Zorba has finals this week too. But, you think, she is psychic, and will automatically know all the answers, but alas I was raised an honest child, and so will not use my mystic powers for the gain of my GPA. I know it is crazy, but. what can I say?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

am having a hard time with you Virgo’s this week. You children always give me a hard time. I try and I try but you are all such wild people that I ‘can

never write anything about you cause just as I see something about your future, you are off doing something else. You kids are too fast for me. And as I told Gemini, Madame is getting a little old and slow. My vibes ain’t what they used to be. Please bear with me. A small hint for this week though, don’t eat liverwurst and beans with a mug of Guiness on the side before an exam. You don’t want the whole class to hear

your gastrous intestines as they

sing their harmonious music.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Libra, Libra, Libra...What can I say? Did you survive the semester? I told you, you would, See it was not as bad as you thought it would be. You have to remember that it is good to have fun sometimes. Yes, you go to university to get an education, but university is not all academic. There is a social aspect, which is very important.

University teaches you how to

interact with people and any friend today could be business associates of tomorrow.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Do you like playing with newsgroups and email? If so I heard of one you can try. alt.swedish.chef.bork.bork.bork. Give it a try if you are good at fake Swedish accents. If this

newsgroup does not work try speaking to your friends in your new found language. Maybe try talking to your professors too. Who knows if they think you have broken down they might mark you easier on your final exams.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ‘“ $o do you someone? Are you too shy to say hi to this person? Try this sneaky idea. Write a letter on the email to one of your friends but accidentally send it to the one your heart yearns for. If said person responds in a positive way--great. If they respond in a bad way or say you are weird, well then you just don’t want to be friends with them anyhow. If they don’t respond at all they might just have thought that it was a mistake, or they could be shy or the letter could have just been lost in the mail. But in anycase do not worry, at least you tried.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Well. Are you a reserved sort of person on the outside, but a wild animal on the inside? Do you like playing with leggo? Do you eat Frosted Flakes, hiding like a deviant in a dark parking lot? If so you probably fit right in with the university crowd. If you have a. loved one, mix your leggos, as that is the greatest commitment

like.

you could give, and it is OK. Come out of the Frosted Flake

An

closet. By university most people are tolerant of alternative lifestyles. Look at yourself in. the mirror say your name and tell yourself that you are a good person and that people like you, or a least pretend to. Be creative. ;

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are in love with the most beautiful, exotic, witty, fantastic, sensitive, creative and loving person in the world. She would gladly bear your children. (Did I mention she’s sexy, too? And lots of guys are. after her, so you better hold on to her and treat her real nice.). Or him if that is the case, except for thé bearing children part. -

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

So you want to be a star? You want the world to know your name. Well get off your ass and do something about it. The world is not going to come to you. You have to go to the world. And if you do you will have every success you ever wanted. It just takes time and lots of motivation. As far as the casting couch thing goes, have a party in your mouth and let every one come. Actually do not go about it that way, no

one has respect for that kind of fame, look at Sharon Stone. She would be nowhere if she didn’t spread her legs in every movie she has ever been in. 73
