Annie Goodmiller, Arlington Heights, Ill. junior, leaves her boy- friend, Jerry Hart, at Western Illinois Univer- sity when she comes to Kansas. Goodmiller and Hart communicate two or three times a week on the telephone or through e-mail. L'The better the week I have the less I talk to himg he's not just my boyfriend, he's my best friend, she said. Lisa Rozenberg, Overland Park junior, also communicates with her boyfriend, Steve Blum, who attends Southern Method- ist University, by phone and e-mail. We're both extremely busy so we only talk a couple times a week, said Rozenberg.

I W I IEYYBIIIE G3 GPS O 'Ola' IlIllSil SGBIIE Watch out Seattle: there was a new music capital, and it was not even close to an ocean. MI know of at least four major music maga- zines, including Spin and Rolling Stone, who have written about the music scene heref, said Shaun Hamontree, a member of local band, The Black Water. But University of Kansas students always supported local music. Hamontree, who was also an assistant man- ager for Streetside Records, said that inde- pendent record stores had a positive relationship with local bands. His store set up displays for many of the bands and had a section specifically for local music. Nick Nave, Wichita senior and member of the band Huckleberry, said that Lawrence,s small size made it easier for local bands to get gigs. 'l'he term garage bands was used to describe up and coming musical groups who practiced in their homes and played small venues. HuckleBerry started in Lawrence after meeting at Icthus.

Nave's band devel- oped when he met other musicians through Icthus, a University Christian organization. He saidthat college was a good place to start his band because each mem- ber had different back- grounds and different musical tastes. Clubs were also sup- portive ofthe local music scene. The Bottleneck hosted Open Mic Night that allowed little-known bands to play. Todd Johnson, Hutchinson sophomore, often went to The Bottleneck to watch local bands. 'tlt always surprises me that there are so many different bands to see live, he said. As to the future of Nave's musical career, he was uncertain. calf the opportunity is there, Illl keep tak- ing it, he said. Q story by Tami Miller Q 40 Q local music
