Literary Orange 2011

“We all make things up.” In his keynote speech to start the fifth annual Literary Orange this past Saturday at UC Irvine, novelist Ron Hansen presented his audience with this somewhat eccentric remark.

A Lesson in Concert Etiquette

As someone who goes to quite a few concerts, I’ve experienced plenty of ugly and unfortunate moments at shows that have often outshone the brightest nights of live music. Because concert etiquette is something seemingly many people are unaware of, it seemed like it was a necessity to compile a list of do’s and don’ts that any concertgoer should know. So, keep these notes in mind and you’ll be able to avoid looking like an asshole at the next show you attend.
