Issue of Guns on Campus brings "Educational Outreach" and Protest to Campus
Imagine walking into a classroom, looking at your classmates, and not knowing who may or may not be carrying a gun. If some people get their way, that could soon be the case.
Creating a storm across New Hampshire universities is a recent bill that would prevent public universities from having policies that would prohibit students from exercising their Second Amendment right to bear arms. If House Bill 334 is passed when it goes up for vote in the House in January, it could affect all public universities as well as public facilities in New Hampshire.

If you read my column this week, you know how I feel about Andy Bothwell, A.K.A. Astronautalis, so I'll keep this short and sweet. He's the man, he'll be in Boston at O'Brien's Pub on Sunday, and his new record This Is Our Science is about to top many an end of the year list and (hopefully) propel him to indie hip-hop stardom. Buy the record, go to the show and get onboard with Mr. Bothwell. Thanks to Andy for taking the time to chat with the Clock, and a big thanks to his excellent management team for setting this up. Great dude. Great interview.
Netflix, as most people know, is a DVD rental service that delivers DVD's directly to your mailbox. If you have a modern video game console or computer, you can also get it to play certain movies or TV shows directly on to your TV or computer, all for $9 a month. This was a godsend for those with busy schedules, as they could take five minutes to place an order for a movie on DVD, or come home and play a movie on their computers. At least this is what Netflix used to be until July 12, 2011 when Netflix announced they were to separate the DVD and Streaming services. Cries for justice were being heard across the nation as people were cancelling subscriptions and calling for blood.
I get to do a lot of really cool stuff with this job. Under the guise of some kind of "professional" music journalist, I get free CD's in the mail every week and I get to talk to some of my favorite musicians on the phone or otherwise. You wouldn't believe whose numbers I have in my phone. It's a trip. I am forever grateful to my school and to my coworkers here at the Clock for trusting that I have some idea of what I am doing and giving me the elbow room to get it done. Most people, including people in popular bands, are good people. Of course, a lot of publicists and managers won't give the time of day to a small New Hampshire school that really doesn't fall anywhere near any of their target touring markets or even contain a record store, but you have to work with what you've got. There are a lot of cool people (like Natalie at Equal Vision Records and Liz at Earsplit Press – THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH) that will return all of your emails and hook you up with what you need to get the job done with a smile on their face. On the artists' end, for the most part, they are ready and willing to answer questions about their music and are usually pretty pleasant as long as the spotlight is kept on them.
The temperatures are getting lower, and the ski season will soon be upon us. With that comes the challenge of figuring out your equipment, and more importantly, how you are going to get it.

What is a typical game day like for you? While game day is always a time to focus, our team tries not to get too serious before games. We sometimes have players sing or play silly games before we get into the rink. Once we are in the rink, many people listen to music to get them pumped up for the game.
