EXODUS
SEPTEMBER 8 @ EMO’S
Ever wonder where today’s rockstars started their
musical careers? Look no further. Originally started
in the Frisco Bay Area, the original lineup began with
none other than Kirk Hammet, current lead guitarist
of Metallica. That alone should be reason to check out
this band, but if you’re still not convinced, just listen to
the 30 years worth of pure thrash metal this band has
created to become one of the most recognized names
in underground metal music. Departing in 1998 and
reincarnated in 2001, the band began releasing more
albums and touring like never before. Do not miss your
chance to see these thrash veterans riff out and bang
your head with pure, untainted thrash metal. Leave your
spandex at home.

of Texas are once again set on the

A
t first listen you probably would think you were listening
to a mash up artist, but you would be mistaken. Shinobi
Ninja is just that diverse, that crazy, and that talented.
It’s a little 311, a little Sublime, a little Beastie Boys, and
a little Nirvana grunge, which makes for something truly
uncharted. Shinobi is a collaboration of some of NYC’s new,
and nastiest talent.

Since 2008, Dave Aaron, Baby Girl, Maniac Mike, Adriano


Morez, DJ Axis, and Terminator Dave have been pushing
the musical envelope in New York City. Where their sound
comes from is anyone’s guess, but it is where the music is
going that deserves attention.

Getting Digital
Shinobi Ninja is one of the only bands in the world with
their own video game (download at shinobininja.com).
That’s right, Brooklyn to Babylon, Shinobi Ninja Attacks
Live is available for any iPhone. It’s a music player, a video
player, and a video game all in one. The app proves that the
best way to experience Shinobi Ninja for the first time is by
kicking ass as a Shinobi Ninja yourself.

Born From Talent


At the Study Breaks SXSW party, (one of Shinobi’s eight
SXSW shows) they improvised a mix of Rihanna’s “Rude
Boy” into a set of their own music, which turned into
Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It”. It didn’t take a
rocket scientist to see that they had some talent backing
DA rockin the mic freestyle their band. Turns out, about half of each Shinobi show is
improvisational and personalized to each venue’s crowd.

Keep an eye out there for upcoming Shinobi action


To hype their upcoming album ‘Rock Hood’, Shinobi has
Maniac Mike Sdreddin' the guitar released ‘The Video Game EP’, which will surely give their
fans and previous unfamiliars something to rave about. In
addition to their February 2010 release of their iPhone
application ‘Shinobi Ninja Attacks’, they are
planning to release an Apple widget sometime
at the end of summer 2010. Get ready music

Why did you guys open Bar 512?


I felt the touristy East 6th
Street needed a bar that would finally
showcase Austin’s history and
beauty, while also keeping up with
UT’s traditions. We want to create
“A True Austin Experience.”

How does Bar 512 differ from other bars?


We bring in big name DJs, have a brand
new rooftop stage and the fastest staff downtown.
The atmosphere is also very diverse. You can
dance to the DJ downstairs or Jam to the live
music up on the rooftop. 

What else goes down at Bar 512, other than normal bar fun?
We host private parties on the rooftop. We show all UFC
fights with no cover. Also, the biggest deal is UT game day
headquarters, including table bucket service and extra point Owners Dave Hur

REAL WORLD CASTING CALL with Casting Director


Megan Sleeper
What would be a good enough reason to wake hundreds of Central Texans up on a Saturday
morning, wait in hour long lines, and make them fill out pages upon pages of paperwork?
A shot at securing a spot on MTV’s next Real World documentary show. Wonder if you could
make the grade? Study Breaks sat down with Real World casting director, Megan Sleeper, at
the Cedar Door to see if she could give Study Breaks’ own Chad Happens any tips for making
it on the show as a roommate.
What is the process for interviewing at a Real World casting call?
First, you have to wait in line outside for about an hour and a half
for our questionnaire tables. At the questionnaire tables, you will fill
out demographic application of about four pages. After filling out
the questionnaire, people wait for about another hour until they are
called back to a table in groups of eight to meet with me. If I deem
them worthy, they are asked to fill out another application in the
Cedar Door’s back room for MTV’s producers to look over. They
will make another cut, and ask for their finalists to make a video
argument. After all of the casting calls are over, we will pick the
final roommates.
Is it hard to decide which people make it past the initial table interview?
I actually think that my job is really easy. I just have to sit down with
a table of people and decide which ones I want to know more about.
Cameron Harley casting I’ve been doing that for eight years now.
Director Meagan Sleeper
How many casting calls does Real World hold?
Around 40 nationwide. But, people have been chosen elsewhere. Take
Emily from Real World Cancun for example, the Boston casting
director found her in a Starbucks.
Do you have stereotypes picked out?
I know it’s hard to believe (with laughter), but we don’t ever sit down
and ask for a specific type of person. Think about all of the issues that
come up between roommates without cameras around. We just pick
polar and outgoing people. Fireworks can light from there.
So, what is your best advice for Chad?
Be yourself. it’s really easy to see when someone is putting on a
show. We at MTV know that fakeness won’t translate for an entire
season of real drama.

2010 Longhorn Football Preview


Football season is here. Longhorn fans will once again put on the burnt orange and
throw their horns up. Last year the National Championship was within sight but Colt
McCoy’s injury made beating Alabama too tough a task and Texas lost 21 to 37.
This year, after a tumultuous summer filled with conference swapping intrigue,
Garrett Gilbert is stepping up and taking the reins of the Texas offense. Optimistic
Longhorns are knocking on wood with their eyes on another BCS shot.

GAME BY GAME PREDICTIONS 2010


OWLS FAIL TO HOOT Sept. 4th • Houston, TX
Texas vs Rice
The Owls are hosting UT in the first game of the season. Last year Rice finished with
an abysmal 2-10 record. This year they will start the season off in similar fashion and
get destroyed by UT. Rice better be thankful for their band, because their football
team is going down. To add insult to injury, their quarterback’s last name is Fanuzzi.
Texas: 50 • Rice: 7

COWBOYS LASSO A LOSS Sept. 11th • Austin, TX


Texas vs Wyoming
The first home game of the season should be another easy one. Wyoming finished last
year one game above a winning record in the MWC. Last year Wyoming gave Texas a scare
with a close first half, but the Horns came back to cruise to a 41 to 10 victory. This year,
Senior WR James Kirkendoll Texas should shoot down the Cowboys faster than Wyatt Earp at the OK Corral and notch
up a second victory.
Texas: 56 • Wyoming: 7

RED RAIDER REDUX Sept. 18th • Lubbock, TX


Texas vs Texas Tech
The Leach-less Red Raiders will be looking to start things off on a new foot and nothing
would delight their fans more than a second consecutive Texas loss in Lubbock. Taylor
Potts and his sweet stache’ will be bringing offensive firepower against UT’s sturdy
secondary. This will be the first challenge for the horns but they should have the edge.
Texas: 36 • Texas Tech: 17
BIG GAME
BRUINS GET BASHED Sept. 25th • Austin, TX
Texas vs UCLA
The UCLA Bruins will face Texas for the first time since the Rose Bowl in 1997. In that
game, the Bruins routed Texas by 63 points. A lot changes in 13 years. UT is a season away
from the BCS championship and UCLA is struggling to make it in the PAC-10. Sophomore
quarterback, Kevin Prince will be looking to take on UT’s defense but this isn’t 1997.
Texas: 42 • UCLA: 21
Head Coach Mack Brown

Texas vs Oklahoma
The Red River Rivalry burns its date on the calendar with all the anticipation of birthdays
and anniversaries. The Fair Grounds of Dallas will host the 105th game. Last year Sam
Bradford went down in the second quarter and UT went on to a razor thin victory. This
year, the characters are different but the game is the same. OU Quarterback Landry Jones
will return to Dallas in hopes of putting the Sooners on top.

TEXAS TWISTER Oct. 23rd • Austin, TX
Texas vs Iowa State
The Cyclones will be storming their way south to Austin. Last year, Iowa State finished in
the middle of the Big 12 with a 7-6 record. Quarterback Austen Arnaud will return for his
senior season and look to impress. Last year he had almost as many picks as touchdowns,
so he will need to shape up if Iowa State wants to stand a chance at blowing down the
brick house that is the Texas Longhorns.

BAYLOR GOES FOR BUST

This Halloween Baylor will ring Texas’s doorbell and ask for candy. In return we will hit

his freshman year hype. This will be tough considering UT has pounded the Bears year

Texas vs Kansas State
The Wildcats are looking to capitalize on their home field advantage when they take on
Texas. Kansas State is led by senior running back Daniel Thomas. Last year he rushed

breaking National Championship game. He fell short of


bringing the Longhorns to victory but he showcased his
skills and poise. Gilbert’s football background reads like
football Bible. In his senior year of high school he won
the state championship, set the state record for passing
yards and was named offensive player of the year by USA
Today. His lineage also bodes well for talent. His father Gale
Gilbert played eight seasons in the NFL.

This year expectations are high that Gilbert can keep the
Longhorns at the top. During the Spring Game, Gilbert
further bolstered the confidence of fans by showing
his arm strength and football IQ. If Gilbert can play solid
and make smart decisions, the Horns have a shot and a
second Big 12 Championship and maybe even a glimpse at
BCS Bowl glory.

HUNTER HUNTS FOR YARDS Nov. 13th • Austin, TX
Texas vs Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State had one of their best seasons ever last year, finishing in the top 25 with
a respectable 9-4 record. Quarterback Zac Robinson and running back Keith Toston are
gone, but they return some key starters on the offense and defense. Running back Kendall
Hunter rushed for 1,555 yards two seasons ago and he will be looking to make a statement
in his senior season.

THINGS THAT WILL DEFINITELY HAPPEN ON A LIFESTYLEZ TRIP:
1 Sharing a keg with the Ying Yang Twins and Three 6 Mafia:
The owner of Study Breaks once did a keg stand next to Coolio. Who does that?!
Rock stars like to party, might as well party with them!

I can personally guarantee that you will have to censor the vast majority of
your Facebook albums from this trip. Unless, of course, your parents are total
ballers and you want to get a job with Study Breaks or Lifestylez! That commercial
investment firm may not approve of you grinding on a large snowman .

3 Hyper Extended Adrenaline:


Best way to cure a hangover: double black diamond at 8:00am. DO IT.

THINGS YOU WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE ON A LIFESTYLEZ TRIP:


1 Scrabble:
Leave the board games at home. There will be no cuddling by the fire,
sipping hot chocolate or any lameness of the sort.

2 Aunt Mildred’s Virgin Eggnog and Retelling of the Good Ole Days:
Everything about being home for the holidays is depressing
and sad. You’ll have plenty of family years once your

ONE LAST THING
THE 6 STAGES OF A COLLEGE APARTMENT words: bill bowman

The first move after the dorms is often to a college-oriented


apartment. These places of debauchery satisfy all the needs
of an undergrad: cheapness, partying and that’s about it.
Here are the stages a typical dwelling goes through.

STAGE 1 – MOVE IN
The walls are freshly painted white and the floor is clean. You are amazed that
the refrigerator does not contain the remnants of spilled beer and grated cheese.

STAGE 2 – THE FIRST PARTY


A few beer stains appear on the carpet. That lamp is now slightly eschewed. The
odor of vomit lingers in the bathroom and porch, but not a complete disaster.

STAGE 3 – FUTILE CLEANUP


The beer bottles and bodily fluids from the party are gone,
but the apartment still has that not-so-fresh smell and for
some reason, a tire in the living room.

STAGE 4 – UPGRADE
After a month or two, you have realized it’s time for some entertainment
in your castle. The Beer Pong table is the centerpiece of the apartment
and a dartboard decorates a wall.

STAGE 5 – SURVIVAL
The first few weeks of using the beer pong table and dartboard has
left the apartment beyond repair. You buy massive quantities of
Febreze and Raid to survive.

STAGE 6 – MOVE OUT


To avoid losing your security deposit or paying damages, during the last
24 hours of the lease, you shovel the trash out and attempt to paint the
dirty walls and spackle the dart holes.
