Loyola Greyhound

Thursday, January 21 was a sad, sad day. It was the end of an era, the bittersweet goodbye to a dear, dear friend. It was the season finale of MTV's Jersey Shore. How can we possibly cope with this loss? How will we fill the void in our hearts left by Snooki, J-WOWW, Pauly D, The Situation, Vinny, Sammi Sweetheart, Ron Ron and even Angelina? Fear not Loyola, for your favorite Jersey Shore cast members will be in Baltimore this month! Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino will be guest bartending at one of our favorite Fed Hill establishments, Mad River, on February 11, and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi will be making an appearance at Mex in Power Plant two weeks later on February 25.

By Donald Vincent Music Critic You either hate Gucci Mane, or you love Gucci Mane.

For the most part we're past the point of purchasing too-trendy clothes that will go out of style next season. With the "real world" knocking-a hem-banging on our doors, it may be time to build our wardrobes with basics that will last forever. By investing in a few versatile pieces (besides the little black dress), you can create a collection of closet staples that will transcend time and place.

Every band thinks that they are the best of the best. But how do you really know? The Perfects, a local band, think that they have what it takes to be the best - and judging by their name, they probably do! These guys are from Baltimore, and they've been around since 2005.
