The Haps: It’s just a step to the right
There are few times in your life when you can dress in drag or wear corsets in public without people looking on in shock. One of these times is coming up this weekend, when the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” will be playing at the Tivoli.
The Haps: Do you like scary movies?
Until recently, I thought I had what it takes to survive a horror film; I don’t answer the phone when I’m home alone, and I never go into a dark room if there seems to be no apparent reason for its lights not to work. However, The Darkness, a seasonal haunted house in Soulard, showed me otherwise. When chased by a man wielding a chainsaw, I will run to the nearest corner, curl up and unsuccessfully hide.
The Haps: What to do when you’ve got the swine flu
What to do when you’ve got the Swine Flu So it’s that time of year again: when the sleep deprivation and communal living catch up with you and you, and everyone else gets sick for the first time of the semester. In the past this has meant bringing a lot of fluids and tissues to class and taking Nyquil to knock you out until you felt better.
The Haps: Hookah say no?
While hookah originated in India and has deep, traditional ties with the Middle East, it has quickly become a favorite among college students. f you’ve ever wanted to try hookah, you’re in luck because St. Louis is home to a variety of restaurants and bars that embrace the social culture of smoking hookah.
