S.O.U.P. Coffee Shop Series:Hana Pestle
9:00pm Location: Warch Campus Center 302B - Ellerman Stage (in Cafe)
Hana began to perform live in her home state of Montana at the young age of 14. In August 2005, she played a show in her hometown of Billings, Montana, and through a friend of a friend of a friend, a tape of her performance that night reached writer and producer Michael "Fish" Herring (Prince, Christina Aguilera, Tupac) and Evanescence co-founder, Ben Moody (Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion). After watching the tape, the pair decided to work with her. "It only took Hana singing one song and I was sold. I have never in my life been more in awe of such a breathtaking natural talent," says Moody of discovering Pestle. She and her family traveled to Los Angeles, California, to meet with the producers in December 2005, and started working on her album in April 2006.
In the past few years on the road, Hana has toured with national acts Blues Traveler, Live, Collective Soul, Joshua Radin, Sister Hazel, Graham Colton, Ari Hest, Jon McLaughlin, Pat McGee, and Ingram Hill. In Fall of 2011, Pestle will headline her own college tour spanning the country.

Lunch At Lawrence:"'They get some turnout for this stuff, huh?’: Listening to Opera in the Movies"
11:30am Location: Warch Campus Center 224 - Julie Esch Studio
More people in the United States hear opera in movies than at the opera house. As we watch characters listen to opera and listen ourselves, what are we learning about opera and what meaning does opera bring to films that use it? Julie McQuinn, associate professor of music, discusses how opera and film come together to engage with human identity and relationship issues, reinforcing and subverting social and cultural values, boundaries and hierarchies. Reservations required. To make a reservation, call 832-6549.

My Election Decision returns for the Republican primaries and will stay up through the November election. The web site presents candidates' positions on several issues and asks potential voters to select the positions with which they most strongly agree. Voters won't be told which positions match with which candidates - until the end of the survey when they find out whom they are for.
