Jane knew Jake. He was a friend of a friend. An acquaintance. So how could this have happened? How could she be walking home from a party with her underpants in her pocket and the beginnings of a bruise on her smooth cheek?

After a long break, Panic! At The Disco dropped the exclamation point and released "Pretty. Odd." March 25. "Pretty. Odd." will create some debate among fans because the album is nothing like the first album.

Wrapping around half a block, a line full of college students, teenyboppers, and their parents were waiting to enter Memorial Auditorium for what would be the most girl-filled concert I have ever attended. (2) comments
If Gunther's Ice Cream is where the old folks spend an afternoon with the paper, Vic's is where a generation of youngsters and politicians spend their saved up lunch money and power lunches on ice cream, shakes and traditional fountain shop fare. If I were to draw a crude map of the suburbs outlying Midtown Sacramento, Curtis Park would be on left and Land Park on the right. (0) comments
