'ftonor'able mention: Big strides in 2009
Chris Brittain
Staff Writer
cbrittaif"lhup.edu
The Lock Haven
Honors
University
Program started off its
2009 academic year by
several
making
changes.
The first of which
was launching an initiative to transform
into a Global Honors
Program. By doing so,
it has become one of six
global honors programs
in the United States.
"This is a groundbreaking year for the
LHU Honors Program,"
said Dr. Joe McGinn,
the director of the program, "My hope is that
this new direction will
enable us to better distinguish our program
from those at other universities, attract larger
numbers of globally-

minded honors students from different
parts of the country,
while also enabling us
to do an even better job
than we have in the
of supporting
past
LHU's
longstanding
commitments to diversity and international
education."
There were formerly
three distinctions of
Honors,
graduation:
Honors
with
Distinction, and Global
Honors
with
Distinction.
The new changes
simplify it to two titles.
Global Honors and
Global Honors with
Distinction. To support
the emphasis on intertravel,
national
'Distinction' is given for
those
who
study
abroad.
Many of this year's
went into
changes
effect beginning with

the freshmen orientation on August 22 and
23.
Aside from going
global, the program has
made several upgrades
to how it carries out its
orientation.
"Our number one
goal when the freshmen get here is to show
them that college doesn't have to be as overwhelming as it seems,
and that the program is
a great way to get acclimated, meet friends
and have fun," said
Caroline Sweeney, student associate director
of admissions, recruitment, and retention.
When the freshmen
arrived, they were
immediately broken up
into groups based on
their 'animal,' a mascot
that is attributed to
each freshmen discussion group or FDG.
Throughout
the

year, they participate

in several competitions
in order to win points
and become known as
the best FDG of that
given year.
"FDG Wars was
something that we
started almost four
years ago. and it was
just a small event we
pulled together to celebrate the end of the
semester," said Nicole
Jacobs, the graduate
assistant of the pro"We
gram,
never
thought it would grow
into something like
this. It's now a big pari
of the identity and the
uniqueness of our program."
Once the freshmen
arrived at their program meeting, they
were briefed on the
inner-workings of the
program, made aware
of requirements and
engaged in a question-

and-answer session.
They were then shown
a video called "FDG
Wars 2009" that compiled some of the greatest footage oflast year's
events.
"Once they watched
the video and were
clearly pumped up to
compete, we immediately sent them out on
their first mission, and
that was to win a campus-wide
scavenger
hunt that we had set
up to get them familiar
with most of the buildings," said Sweeney.
Despite the humidity, 75 freshmen sprinted around campus collecting and deciphering
clues. The Monkeys
were the first to reach
their destination, the
Honors House, in just
26 minutes. The second-place Jaguars didn't finish for another
six minutes.

"As one of the leaders of the Monkeys, I
was proud of their
efforts," said Cortney
Rogers, a sophomore in
the program. "So far it
seems like they're all
getting along really
well."
For the first time in
the program's 21-year

history, upperclassmen

can now participate in
FDG Wars. Groups of
5-10
upperclassmen
can assemble their
friends or their former
FDG members so that
they can take part in
every special event that
was once geared only
toward freshmen.
"I'm really excited
about it, and I plan to
create a team," said
Johnny Blough, a senior in the program.
"I didn't think I'd be
able to participate in it
again, so I can't wait."

Getting to know: Campus Safety Director Paul Altieri

Although managing
law enforcement on a
university campus may
seem a daunting task,
Director of Public
Safety, Paul Altieri,
embraces the task of
assuring the health

visitors as well as
members of the Lock

"I just want to

New iPhone applications alert people of
outbreaks of infectious diseases near them
and allows individuals to submit reports and
and information on health issues such as
H1N1.

A new iPhone application
called
"Outbreaks Near Me"
that allows users to
track and report local
outbreaks of infectious
disease was released
Tuesday.
Developed
by
researchers
at
Children's Hospital
Boston and the MIT
Media Lab, the application combines the
GPS system of the
iPhone with outbreak

HealthMap co-founder
John S. Brownstein,
an assistant professor
at
the
Children's

(CHIP).
Program
Users can also choose
to set alerts to notify
users of new local outbreaks or when they
are
entering
new
areas.
"If people know
what's
happening
around them, they
might be more likely to
take basic precautions," such as washing their hands and
getting
vaccinated,
Brownstein said.
On top of alerting
users to outbreaks, the
application
allows
users
to
submit
reports, even photos if
they want, of potential
outbreaks from their
own phones, which
would be reviewed by

HealthMap, according

founder Clark Freifeld.
Harvard's

David S. Rosenthal '59
said that although the
application will probably not be helpful in
diagnosing individual
HlNl cases, it is a
"very interesting technique" that could provide health officials
with additional information on general incidence trends.
"Using more contemporary ways of
reporting what's going
on in the community
can help public health
officials find out |about

the earliest possible
moment," Donald A.

however, are skeptical
of whether the application will be useful in

Russell C.S. Mason

would be really stressful and incite a lot of
panic."
And Sean R. Singh
'12 said. "I hardly use
many of the apps on
my phone: if it was
important it would
show up on my News

There are many
Lock
Haven that attract
a lot of students, but
one business that is
common among girls
and guys, alike, is
Tropical Tanning &
Beauty
Salon,
14
Bellefonte Ave.
The salon is a colorful, tropical paradise
with faux grass hut
ceilings that gives the
place an inviting feel.
It is an approximately
10 to 15 minute walk
from
Lock
Haven
University's campus,
which is close enough
to get to in between
classes.
"I was looking for a
tanning salon to use
[while at Lock Haven]
and I was asking my

friends and most of
them said to go to
Tropical
Tanning,"
stated Tori Hummel, a
sophomore.
The salon holds
nine tanning beds
including one stand-up
and two high voltage
beds called Solaris,
which have a maximum time of 15 minutes. The regular rate
for one tanning session
is about $5, and a
monthly package is
$35.99.
Spray tanning is
also
available
at
Tropical Tanning, and
it is no ordinary spray
tan. While most tanlast
sprays
ning
around two days, this
salon's unique spray
lasts 12 days. It also
comes in scents such
as sweet pea, vanilla,
black cherry, French
vanilla, and coconut.

Different salons are
buying
Tropical
Tanning's spray and
using it in their own
stores.
The salon prides
itself on its excellent
customer service.
"It's cool because
when I continue to go
there, [the workers]
begin to recognize me
name,"
and
my
Hummel said. "It's
friendly and personal."
Most of Tropical
Tanning's
business
comes from university
students.
"Lock Haven college
kids are always in
here," said employee
Layla
Thompson.
"During peak season,
we will have up to 180
students a day."
Since students provide so much business,
the salon always promotes special deals

and savings for students.
"We try to make it
as affordable for everyone," Thompson said.
Tanning is a popular service the salon
provides, but it is not
the only one. There is
a small hairstyling
station that offers
cuts, coloring, highlights, lowlights, and
perms. A shampoo,
cut, and style package
costs around $17 $20.
Tropical Tanning
also offers nail care
services such as manicures ($15), pedicures
includes
($35
spa
treatment), and full
sets ($35).
Body wraps are also
popular with a variety
of chocolate, mud, and
aloe wraps ranging
from $35.99 $55.99.

About 100 people —
members

University's chapter of
Students Taking Action
Now: Darfur — held a
"Solemn
Walk"
Downtown Monday to
international
rally
attention to the genocide in Darfur in preparation for the G-20
Summit, which will be
held in Pittsburgh
Sept. 24-25.
STAND and other
groups,
like
the
Darfur
Pittsburgh
Emergency Coalition,
plan to advocate during
the G-20 to draw attention to the genocide in
the east African country.
Anna Siegel, Pitt
STAND'S director of
advocacy,
said the
group is working with
the
Save
Darfur
Coalition
and
Pittsburgh
Darfur
Emergency Coalition to
increase those organizations' visibility.
"We're not doing
protesting," Siegel said.
"It's just education and
visibility."
Siegel
said
the
groups plan on creating
an art installation to be
placed outside Phipps

Conservatory during its
diplomatic
dinner.
STAND also plans on
handing out literature
on the genocide in
Darfur, as well as educating people about
crises in Burma and
the
Democratic
Republic of Congo.
"We want to make it
clear that students and
residents of Pittsburgh
are very concerned
about
international
issues and that we see
very clearly how our
economic investments
affect the world," Siegel
said.
STAND earned the
support of City Council,
which thanked the local
chapters of the group
for helping to organize

Last

the

Court
charged
Sudanese
President
Omar al-Bashir with
crimes against humanity.
Leju-Loding said alBashir and his regime
in Sudan's capital,
Khartoum, is trying to
destabilize the southern part of the country
to suppress people's
resistance to the current dictatorship.
Sudan's north is
dominated by lighterskinned Muslims who
prefer to be called
Arabs, while Christian
Africans inhabit the
south and the west in
Darfur,
Leju-Loding
said.
Many

don't realize the differences between the peoples of Sudan and how
they identify themselves, he said.
"It's not the [skin]

he said. "It's the people's mindset. Whoever
identifies himself or
herself as Christian, we
must respect that.
Whoever
identifies
himself as Muslim, we

When Leju-Loding
immigrated to the

had yet to enter civil
war.
He
said
the
Khartoum regime now
resists Christian dissent toward Shariah
law, which he said
includes rules that lowered the status of
women and implemented severe punishments
for trivial crimes. It
also supplies militias
like the Janjaweed,
which destabilize the
regions

Challenges of sisterhood
Caitlin Chciuk
Guest Writer
cchiuk(« lhup.edu

Since I was two and
a half years old, I've
been a big sister. From
what my mom says, I
was pretty excited
about all of the
of
responsibilities
being a big sister.
For
the
past
seventeen
(almost)
have
I
years,
embraced the responsibilities that sisterhood has thrown at
me.
From
the
tantrums and fights to
the dance parties in
the kitchen and the
late night talks, being
a sister to my sister
has been one of the
greatest parts of my
life.
My sister and I
have almost always
done
everything
together,
mostly
because we're only a
couple of years apart
in age. We have the
same group of friends,
we hang out and go
shopping
together,
and we have many
common interests.
My mom always
says that she's overjoyed that we get
along so well. Sure, we
have our moments
where we can't stand
each other, but isn't
that just part of being
sisters?
However, I noticed
the connection that we
have dwindling when I

was going into my senior year of high school.
My sister was entering
her first year of high
school that same year.
This was the first
time we'd been in
school together since
elementary school. My
friends took a liking to
her, and her friends
took a liking to me. I
had guy friends who
wanted to date her,
which made me get
pretty overprotective.
I wanted her freshman year to be perfect,
but we just ended up
bickering. Especially
after I got accepted to
Lock
Haven.
She
seemed to want to pick
fights with me. But
through it all, we
stuck by each other,
and she got through
her freshman year of
high school with flying
colors.
The school year
ended quickly. Before
I knew it, I was getting my chance to
walk across stage at
As
graduation.
I
approached the stage,
I caught my sister's
eye. She was crying.
Before I knew it, I
was crying too. I had
known that she was
upset about me leaving for a school that's
three hours away from
our hometown, but I
didn't know it had
affected her so much.
All of a sudden, all of
our bickering made
sense to me. She was
scared of losing me.

the
Throughout
talked
summer, we
about how she felt
about me leaving. She
was nervous about
going back to school
without me there, and
she was nervous about
taking over my job at
our local diner. But I
talked her through it,
and as my move-in
date
rapidly
approached, we bickered less and less.
She helped us pack
my mom's van and
slept on a tiny seat in
the back, surrounded
by everything I figured I'd need for my
freshman year of college. A few hours after
moving in, my dorm
actually looked relatively "homey," thanks
to my sister's awesome
decorating and organizing skills.
As we all said our
goodbyes, I promised
to call home once a
day every day, and I
told my sister that she
needed to keep in
touch with me. She
said she would.
As the first few
weeks went by and I
settled into life at The
Haven, I talked to my
sister only a handful
of times. She was busy
starting her sophomore year of high
school, and she was
set on making it an
incredible year.
She had a new boy
in her sights, and she
was always with her
friends. I was happy

for her, but after being
around her every day
for fifteen years of my
life,
I
definitely
missed her. I kept in
touch with her at least
once a week, but it
wasn't the same.
I missed being able
to just go into her
room and talk with
her. I missed hanging
out. But we were both
at new places in our
lives and it seemed
that neither of us had
the time.
When I finally went
home for summer
break, things definitely weren't the same.
Sure, we had our
talks, but it mostly
envoled
bickering.
Even now, she still
has a lot going on in
her life.
I want to be there
for all of it, but
because I am here at
Lock Haven, I cannot
be there for her as
much as I want to be.
Still, no matter what,
I will always be a text,
Facebook message, or
phone call away.
Even now, nearly
seventeen years later,
I am excited to keep
taking on the responsibilities of sisterhood.
Despite the fact that
our connection is not
the same as it used to
be, I am, and will forever be, her sister.
And I will always be
here for her.

angry, and I listened
as they ranted on for
hours. Still after hearing about the words
shared by both teachers and students, I did
not seem to have an
opinion.
Lately, I have been
involved with many
special needs people. I
saw first hand how
they react to the usage
of this word, and it got
me thinking. When
the word "retarded"
was not even being
directed to these individuals it was painfully obvious that they
were hurt, it was then
that I realized how our
actions hurt the feelings of the special
needs.
I did not and do not
use the word in a
derogatory fashion. I
use it in such a way to
express, stupidity. I do
not use it in a manner
that is offensive, but I
realized that it does

affect those individuals because they had
been tortured by the
words usage.
So, I took it upon
myself to rid the word
of my vocabulary. It
took some time for me
to stop using this
word, but I was able to
completely eliminate
the word from my
vocabulary.
Now, I will not be
one of those people
who offend another
human being by the
use of one word. I just
hope that others, who
use the word, can take
an oath to stop. If we
do so, we will no
longer be singling out
people.
Maybe those who
are of special needs
will not feel inferior by
other
individuals.
Maybe they will realize that not everyone
is making a derogatory statement against

them.

"Obviously,

was if we get caught on

we keep telling the

Lock Haven: Then and Now
The Roxy Movie Theatre

Vickie Frantz
Guest Writer
vfrantz@lhup.edu

The Roxy Theatre
was originally called
Dreamland, and began
construction in 1920.
The theater was completed in 1923, but it
suffered major flooding
in 1936, which caused
severe damages..
Sometime after the
flood the theater was
restored and during
that time an Italian
artist was hired to
paint a mural on the
walls of the cinema.
The mural is still there
today, depicting scenes

and
became dirty, so the
mural had to be
restored.
On April 11, 1998
local
Gary
artist,
Lamey, began the work
ofrestoring the scenes.
One of the earliest
employees was a man
named Oscar, who
began working at the
Roxy when he was only
16 years old. He was
hired to ride his bike
around the downtown
area and paste movie
posters on the outside
walls of local businesses. In later years, he
worked as the film projectionist.
He recalls the day of

was in the projection
room and saw the seats
from the main floor
float almost up to the
balcony level."
Oscar continued to
work as the projectionist until 1993, when he
was replaced by the
current projectionists
John and Joe.
In the year 2000 the
theater was purchased
by Nancy and Ernie
Renniger, and they currently own the theater
today. Their goal was
to again restore the
theater back to working
order and maintain it
as a functioning cinema, so they later added
an addition of two more
screen rooms.
In 2004, art students from Central
Mountain High School,
led by art teacher
McGinniss,
Ronald
painted murals on one
of the walls in the new
hallway leading to the
addition.
The murals depict
popular characters and
scenes from films dating from the 1930's to
2004. Some of the films
are

Blanca, The Sound of
Music, and The Lion

more.

The snack bar prices
have also changed. In

is $1.50 for small, $2.50

Jay-Z returns to the
music scene:
A review of his latest CD

Back
with
his
eleventh studio album,
rapper Jay-Z is set to
make history. If his latest
album
"The
Blueprint 3" reaches
number one on the
Billboard Charts, he
will surpass the legendary Elvis Presley in
number
most

albums sold.
After the rapper
claimed he would go
into retirement after
the release of "The
Black Album" in 2004,
he has returned to the
music scene in 2006 and
has thus far released
three more albums.
With mixed reviews on
his comeback album
"Kingdom Come" in
2006, the rap icon has
shown that he has
grown as an artist and
that he can rap about
other subjects rather
than sex, drugs and
money.

With die-hard fans
wanting to listen to the
"old" Jay-Z, the rapper
who spoke on such
things, went back into
the studio in 2007 to
show the world he still

Since 2007, the rapper took a short break
from the mic to pursue
other ventures, such as
his partnered ownership of the New Jersey
Nets, and his "40/40
Night Club," as well as
signing a new deal with
Live Nation after buying out his contract to
Def Jam.
Despite his busy
schedule, Jay-Z still
finds time to get into
the studio and make
records. Even though he
did not release an
album in 2008, he
remained present in the
industry by making
guest appearances on
popular records last
year.
He was featured in
songs such as Lil

Hip-Hop anthem "A

"Rock the Haven"
Talent Search
Antoine Goode /Eagle Eye

Jay-Z poses for pictures while holding a personalized basketball jersey.
"The Glow in the Dark
Tour," where Jay-Z
made a surprising guest
performance, and showcased a snippet of his
entitled
song
new
"Jockin' Jay-Z."
He performed a
verse of the song, which
caused speculations of a
sequel to previous
albums 'The Blueprint"
and 'The Blueprint 2
(The Gift and The
Curse)" to come about.
The official first single of the album entitled, "D.O.A." (Death of
Auto-Tunes),
was
released this summer.
The controversial song
took a shot at a vast
amount of musicians
who use the ever-sopopular "auto-tune," a
sound which recent
artists like Zapp &
Roger and Teddy Riley
use to enhance their
vocals on tracks.
The art form was
then brought back to
life by rapper/singer "TPain" who has had
much success with autotune, making it sort of
his personal style. It
wasn't until artists such
as, Kanye West, Lil
Wayne, and Ron Browz
began to take over the
art form and use it to
add to their own success.
It didn't take long
before the auto-tune
sound was used on practically every song on the
radio.
The
sound
became very extremely
repetitive to listeners,
so Jay-Z took it upon
himself to
change
things up. Although the
song was not a commercial hit, Jay-Z created a
buzz and everyone had
their own opinions
about the song.
On September 8,
2009, Jay-Z's latest
album "The Blueprint
3" hit the shelves of

local music stores, and
on September 11, 2009
(which was the same
release date of the prequel 'The Blueprint" in
2001), it was released
on iTunes for digital
download.
There is a total number of fifteen tracks on
the album, all ranging
from upbeat club songs
like "On to the Next
One" (produced by
Swizz Beatz) and "Off
That" featuring a popular new artist named
Drake (produced by
Timbaland) to laidback
tracks
like
"So
Ambitious" featuring
Pharrell (produced by
The Neptunes) and
"Young Forever" featuring Mr. Hudson (produced by Kanye West).
The album is very
well laid-out; every song
packs subliminal punch
lines that will have the
listener rewinding the
track to hear exactly
what was said. With his
popular song "Run This
Town" featuring Kanye
West and Rihanna on
the Billboard Charts,
Jay-Z shall continue his
commercial success and
hopefully sell a decent
amount ofrecords.
This is very tough,
due to illegal music
downloads, bootlegging,
and fans not being able
to afford CDs. I personally like the album; I
think Jay-Z has progressed as an artist and
it shows. He is in his
late thirties and is still
very relevant in the
Hip-Hop genre.
My
personal
favorites on the album
are "Empire State of
Mind" featuring Alicia
Keys, and "A Star is
Born" featuring his new
artist J. Cole. Each song
showcases the talents of
a great lyricist (who

Not many students
know that LHU has

53 are even 4-year students. In a short span

the differences between
their culture and ours.
The most common

students? The food.
Overall, they have

Lauren Wright from
England hopes to gain
more confidence while
she is here. She finds it
interesting
how,
although we may speak
the same language, she
sometimes has no clue
what someone is saying.
Wright joked about
how she has almost
been run over 10 times:
"Everyone is driving on
the wrong side of the
road." Wright laughed.
Though it has been
quite a culture shock
and she describes the
United States as "a different world," she has
come here to "do as the
Americans do."

Nascimento came here

She hopes to make

London as "a very cosmopolitan
city.
Everyone dresses up
everyday, and there's

She also described
how the British language differs from the
English language. In
London, instead of saying "dollar bill" or
"cash," they call paper
money "notes" and the
subway is called the
"tube." As for navigating around London,
"It's so much easier
than navigating around

A review of Ang Lee's new film
"Taking Woodstock"
Arianna Schimek
A&E Editor
aschimek@lhup.edu

Woodstock was a
music festival, regarded as "An Aquarian
Exposition: 3 Days of
Peace & Music," that
took place at Max
Yasgur's 600-acre dairy
farm near White Lake
in the town of Bethel,
New York, from August
15 to August 18, 1969.
The
name
Woodstock
alone
evokes so many themes
in the mind from the
1960s counterculture to
the explosion of youth
music and sexual liberation.
Ang Lee's "Taking
Woodstock," focuses on
some of those themes
and creates an enjoyable, uplifting movie
that brings modesty to
a subject that has
become
synonymous
with
extravagant
myth-making.
'Taking Woodstock"
operates on the principle that contemplation
of historic events from
the margins can be
more revealing than
from the hot center.
Most of the concert
takes place out of sight
of the camera, and
although it shows an
immense traffic jam,
fields littered with
trash and hippies gleefully sliding through
"Taking
mud,
Woodstock" pointedly
shies away from spectacle, the better to
focus on how the lives
of individuals caught
up by history are transformed.

Students that wish to travel to new and exciting places should visit the
Study Abroad office in Raub Hall for more information.

Comedy performer,
writer and stand-up
Demetri Martin plays
Eliott, the main character from whose memoir,
"Taking Woodstock: A
True Story of a Riot, a
Concert, and a Life"
(written by Tom Monte)
the film was adapted.
Eliott is a sweet, calmmannered, semi-closeted gay interior decora-

tor who has returned
home from living in
Greenwich Village, to
the Catskills to help his
parents, Jake (Henry
Goodman) and Sonia
(Imelda
Staunton),
Jews who emigrated
from Russia, keep
afloat their financially
failing motel.
As the head of
Bethel's Chamber of
Commerce, Elliot offers
the motel
motel as a home
base for the promoters
of Woodstock Ventures
after the company loses
its permit for an arts
festival in the nearby
town of Wallkill.
Eliott also smoothes
the way for Max
Yasgur (Eugene Levy),
the dairy farm's owner,
and Michael Lang
(Jonathan Groft), the
festival's prime mover,
to make a deal. Mr.
Groffs Lang is presented as a suave hippie
capitalist with a streak
of grandiosity;
he
appears, knight like,
atop a horse near the
end of the movie.
In a relationship
that is made much
more emphatically in
Mr. Tiber's memoir, the
movie explicitly connects Woodstock to the
gay-liberation movement
and
the
Stonewall riots, which
took place two months
earlier that summer.
"Taking Woodstock"
is a gentle, meandering
celebration of personal
liberation at a moment
when rigid social harriers were becoming
more permeable, at
least among the young.
Elliot and his parents lead the list of
those
experiencing
pangs of enlightenment
amid the hippie swarm.
The little bit of the concert that is shown during the movie is a glowing,
golden
circle
glimpsed in the far distance amid a throbbing
acid haze outside the
van of a gentle hippie
couple, where Eliott
trips on LSD for the
first time.

Elliot is cuddled and
caressed by both the
girl and the boy. The
trip sequence is benign
compared to other various
sequences
in
movies depicting the
infamous psychedelic
period. Elliot also takes
inspiration from Vilma
(Liev Schreiber) a feromasculine,
ciously
kindhearted,
crossdressing Marine who
appears at the motel
and provides its security.
In
their
own
moment of enlightenment, Jake and the dismal,- penny-pinching
Sonia surrender their
inhibitions after ingesting some hash brownies, and suffer a major
case of the giggle.';,
which happens to be
one of the funniest
scenes in the movie.
The
also
healing
extends to Elliot's high
school friend Billy
(Emile Hirsch), a para
noid Vietnam veteran
suffering from posttraumatic stress disor-

der.

huff, and intense fan ut'
the talented musician.-,
who rocked Woodstock.
I was very impressed
with the film: however
I expected more recreated footage of the
actual concert and its
performers, but then
again, it would have
been nearly impossible
to recreate such rock
and roll legends like
Jimi Hendrix. The
Who, Janice Joplin,
Nash & Young, and 28
others.
The film depicts the
overlooked
story
behind the creation of
the
legendary
Festival,
Woodstock
which makes it just as
fun to watch. The film
opens the eyes of viewers of all ages and generations, to see the
everlasting impact of
an amazing "3 Days of
Peace & Music."

Sharing our love of literature with yours
Jared Conti is a non-traditional senior majoring in English with
an emphasis in writing. He will be interviewing readers

around
campus to find out who, what, and why they read, so that fellow book lovers can discover new material to enjoy. But first, he

will introduce himself!

Q: What are you reading right now?
I
A: I'm reading DC Comics' Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps
"Blackest Night" crossover event. GL
is brought to us by Geoff Johns and Doug
Mahnke, GLC is helmed by Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason.
Q: Are you enjoying it? Why or why not?

A: Absolutely. Nothing better than creepy, undead superheroes. And Green Lantern, of
course.

Q: When did you first start reading?

A: I've been reading longer than some of you have been alive.
I started getting into comics again a couple of years ago with a really great "Amazing Spider-Man"
issue
written by J. Michael Strayzinski. Bitchin' tribute to the real heroes of 9-11.
First comic to make me cry
swear to God.

Q: What do you like to read most?
A: Comics tickle my fancy in how they can have complete stories wrapped up in a single issue, and
others that take months to follow, opening up new groundfor bigger and better stories. But
I'll admit to being
an easy read. As long as I'm hooked, you can normally keep
me up all night.
Q: When and where do you typically read?

A: I'll read anywhere, just as long as I can find me some free time with everything else I've
got going on
Much easier than getting to my writing.

Dead".

Q: Favorite authors?

so much I want to
get out there, but it's hard pulling all the little voices out of my head.
