Eat this: Best buffets

By: Joesph Cristo

College kids rarely eat until they’re full. No money means small, short meals punctuated by long stretches of “malnourishment.”

If you’re like me, you eat one meal a day, and that meal needs to be huge.

What better place to revel in variety and infinity than a buffet.

For this round-up, I decided to collect my thoughts on my favorite buffets in Minneapolis.

Q&A: Adam Livermore

By: Sophia Vilensky

There was a point six years ago when a man named Adam Livermore entered photos into a Minneapolis hairstyling competition.

He wasn’t picked as a finalist but kept the copyrights of his images.

Declaring the photos a new collection — a futuristic spin on 1960s hairstyle classics — he sent them out as a press release to all the beauty magazines he knew.

First Beauty Launchpad came knocking, which led to an invitation from hair powerhouse Oribe to accompany him to the haute couture shows during Paris Fashion Week.

Review: “Don’t Think Twice”

By: Sophia Vilensky

“Don’t Think Twice” — Mike Birbiglia’s newest film venture — will be released in local theaters on Friday, after enchanting viewers on its countrywide screening tour.

Birbiglia’s first film, the semi-autobiographical “Sleepwalk With Me,” was a Sundance hit. While still accepting the auteur theory, Birbiglia decided to do something a little different for his second dance with the silver screen — fiction.

The stand-up comedian’s subject matter still hit close to home.

Gophers basketball player Reggie Lynch won’t face sexual assault charges, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said Tuesday. 

Hennepin County declined to pursue charges against Lynch — a 21-year-old University of Minnesota junior accused of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman — Monday, said Chuck Laszewski, an attorney’s office spokesman. 

“There is insufficient evidence to determine whether a crime was committed,” he said.
