Low-cal, high-quality chug fest

While you were out having a good time Friday night, we blindly sampled a list of light beer so you wouldn’t have to.  Two dozen beers later, we are weary but wiser.  What should you drink?  What shouldn’t you drink?  What helps you stay slim?  What if you don’t like beer at all?  We have everything you need to know to get started.

No boundaries: Gainesville Improv Festival plays all

Don’t you dare throw this lovely piece of literature that we call The Alligator away.  And I’m not suggesting that you go green and skip your pretty little feet on over to the recycling bin either. Save your newspapers; they could be used as the inspiration for one of this year’s performances at the Gainesville Improv Festival.

Correction

An article in Wednesday’s Alligator incorrectly identified Bryan Griffin as the UF College Republicans executive director. He is the president of the UF group and executive director of Florida College Republicans.

Macklin controls team’s fate

At the beginning of the season, I would have pegged “He Ain’t Worth Missing” by Toby Keith as the song for the 2009-10 Florida basketball team, a tune freshman guard Kenny Boynton surely sang to the squad upon his arrival in Gainesville to ease the players’ pain over Nick Calathes’ departure for an exotic mistress (Greece).
