‘Pony rides on
by Joe Mottillo
Entertainment editor
When offered the chance to see
Rusted Root two weeks ago, I
jumped at the chance to go see
them. When arriving at the arena
outside of Buffalo, I was a bit
skeptical of the opening act Who
the hell is Bonepony?
After hearing 3/4 of their set, I
found out. This trio from
Nashville is a mix of rock,
country, bluegrass, and a little bit
of church harmonies. I was so
impressed that I went out and got
their debut CD, "Stomp
Revival."
The album contains 13 tracks,
the highlight of which is "Where
the Water's Deep." This song has
already received airplay on Rocket
Horoscopes:
Aries (March 21-Aprill9).
Monday morning is your best time
this week, so do as much as
possible. Schedule your shopping
for Tuesday and Wednesday. Those
are also the best times to do math
homework. Study on Thursday;
you'll be very smart then. You're
smart on Friday, too, but you'll
probably be more interested in
romance than schoolwork. Wrap
up you socializing by Saturday
afternoon, so you can finish a
household project this weekend.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Monday morning could be hectic,
but you should calm down by the
afternoon. From then through
Wednesday, you're lucky, but
there's lots of work to be done.
Expect difficulty finding the
information you need. Let friends
know what you want, and you may
get a good deal on Thursday or
Friday. The extra money might go
for school expenses. Shop on
Saturday morning. Play with your
sweetie and your best friends all day
Sunday.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). A
team effort on Monday morning
should succeed. From the afternoon
through Wednesday, financial
worries may have you down.
Nothing to do?
Sherlocks is the place
by Eddie Edwards
Collegian Staff
If you're in downtown Erie and
you're stuck for something to do,
I've found just the spot for you!
It's Sherlock's/Park Place
located 1820 North Park Road in
downtown Erie, right across from
Perry Square.
Sherlock's/Park Place is a
quaint little tavern that houses
exciting entertainment and good
times. It reminds you a lot of a
"Cheers" (NBC sitcom) type
atmosphere.
The decor is that of yesteryear,
sporting memorabilia from years
gone by.
All the staff and bartenders are
very friendly and personable,
which is an excellent compliment
to the spectacular service.
The clientele is college
101 and Pittsburgh's WDVE.
Scott Johnson's lead vocals
remind one of The Black Crowes'
Chris Robinson. Johnson's voice
range is good and is best
exemplified on "P. 5.0.8."
Johnson and the other two
members, Kenny Mims and
Bryan Ward, wrote all the lyrics
and music for this album.
Some other songs that really
stick out on the album are "Poor
Boy Blues," "Soap," and "Bleaker
Street."
Bonepony has been opening for
Root as of late in support of
"Stomp Revival" and tend to play
a club a few nights before the
Root show. I recommend that
you buy the album and see them
live, where they are even better.
Consult an expert for an option you
hadn't considered. Thursday
through Saturday morning should
be excellent, particularly Friday
night. A date could become real
special then. Save domestic chores
for Sunday. You'll be in a better
mood to deal with them, so a job
you usually hate could actually be
fun.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). An
early morning class on Monday
could be tough. Expect the prof to
be in a bad mood. Tuesday and
Wednesday should be excellent for
raising money for your favorite
good cause. A meeting with friends
could lead to a productive idea.
Overdue paperwork might have you
frazzled on Thursday and Friday. If
possible, review your work again
for errors on Saturday morning.
Sunday's best for short journeys
and visiting brothers or sisters.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Exercise
on Monday morning; you may not
have time again this week. There
might not be enough money to do
what you want from Monday
afternoon through Wednesday.
Don't snivel; ask an older person
for ideas so you can make more.
Thursday through Saturday are best
for parties, club meetings and team
for you
students from around the area
who swarm to Sherlock's/Park
Place in search of a great time.
Sherlock's/Park Place
entertainment features, live bands
as well as a Karoke night for all
you aspiring singers. Billiard
tables are also available for your
pleasure. Also, Monday night is
"Pool League" night just in case
you want to test your skills
"shooting stick."
Food and drink specials are also
offered every day of the week,
including Monday night "2 for 1
wing night" and "The Happy
Hour" buffet from 5-7 on
Fridays.
So if you and your friends are
in downtown Erie and are looking
to have a great time, try
Sherlock's/Park Place in
downtown Erie.
Entertainment
Student adapts play
On Friday night, I entered the
studio theater full of misgivings.
If it hadn't been for this
newspaper assignment, I wouldn't
have considered attending the
stage reading of "The House on
Mango Street", an adaptation of
the book of the same name by
English literature major Markus
Rodriguez.
I went in expecting the play,
but before it began, director Tony
Elliot explained that a stage
reading would be done. A run
through of the script by the
actors (or actresses, in this case)
done for the writer's benefit
sports. There may be confusion,
however. Stay home this weekend
and take care of the needs of a
female friend or relative. You owe
her a favor.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
may have a financial emergency on
Monday morning, but the rest of
the day should be great. Study
subjects that can help pay for your
education and/or start a business
from Monday afternoon through
Thursday. A person you meet on
Tuesday could turn out to be a
keeper. Help a ditzy professor get
organized on Thursday or Friday
and make points. There's too much
to do on Saturday morning. That
afternoon through Sunday, visit
long-lost loved ones.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Stand
your ground on Monday morning
and you may get your way. Money
is tight on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Find more, but don't go into debt.
Practice a foreign language with a
native on Thursday or Friday; you’ll
leant more than you could in class.
Saturday morning's great for a long
drive with a talkative friend. You
may have to go along with an older
woman's agenda on Saturday
evening and Sunday. Be nice, and
make a good impression.

allowing Markus to see how the
script would look and sound if
produced. Very little props were
used and the actresses read their
lines directly from the script.
The book version by Sandra
Cisneros chronicles the life of
Esperanza, a young girl who
grows up on Mango Street.
Presented in a series of
eighteen short scenes, Esperanza
explores the various aspects of
her life by interacting with her
family and friends, as well as
discussing her thoughts and
feelings with the audience.
As she does this, Markus said
he believes, "Esperanza speaks to
the minority experience, but
addresses universal themes as
well."
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An
emergency on Monday may not be
your fault, but your patience can
help resolve it. Tuesday, your luck
in love improves for several weeks.
Tuesday night is especially
passionate, with the moon in
sensual Taurus. Wednesday's not
bad, either, but by Thursday, you'll
have to focus on schoolwork again.
An essay test on Friday could be a
real challenge, so prepare! Pay
bills on Saturday morning so you
can travel from then through
Sunday.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Meet a date on Monday morning,
before your first class. It'll be
wonderfiil. Concentrate on your
work from then through
Wednesday. Don't ask for an
extension; it's pointless. An
argument on Thursday or Friday
could lead to a meaningful
relationship. You'll leant lots
from disagreeing. Get out for a run
on Saturday morning. You'll have
plenty of business to take care of
over the weekend. Don't play if
you have bills to pay.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.l9).
Don't stress over a squall at home
on Monday morning. It'll pass as
quickly as it came. A party or chib

"Mango Street" is filled with
humor. I laughed from the first
scene on.
There are several scenes,
however, that are very sobering.
They deal with serious issues in
Esperanza's life and were
conveyed with genuine emotion
by Abigail Greenberg.
The other three actresses,
Conchita Dixon, Crystal
Velasquez, and Sofia Suri,
handled all the other roles in the
play and shifted easily from one
role to the next
While it is unknown at this
time when "Mango Street" will
see full production, be sure to
check it out as soon as it does. It
will be well worth your while.
meeting on Tuesday could lead to a
new romance, if you're in the
market. Wednesday's also good for
making contacts. Thursday and
Friday could be tough; check you
work carefully before turning it in.
The confusion should start to clear
by Saturday, and Sunday could be
downright enjoyable. Spend it
with your favorite partner.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Cram for a difficult class on
Monday morning. A roommate
problem may prevent further study
that night and for the next two
days. Hopefully, you’ll already
know the material by then.
Thursday should be good for you,
and Friday should be excellent.
You're even more brilliant than
usual. Push hard for what you want
on Friday night and Saturday
morning. You may have to comply
with an older person's agenda on
Saturday night and Sunday.
Pisces (Feb 19.-March 20).
Don't shop on Monday morning;
you'll spend too much. You may
fall in love with a professor on
Tuesday or Wednesday. A date on
Saturday night should be absolutely
marvelous. The glow could last
clear through Sunday.
