5 Places We Want to See With Our Own Eyes

These places can’t be real. BUT THEY ARE. Vacation-time, anyone? This is a “tree tunnel” in Ukraine. Trains actually go through here. WHY DON’T WE HAVE THESE? This is just a city street. That people walk down every day. No big deal. Temple in Mali. Where monks live and stuff. Not sure where this is, but we have to find out. Because we need to roll down these...

Very raw, very acoustic, very cool (….right? right guys?). Check out our very first video-fledgling, featuring artist L.A. Girlfriend! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNlVboTdL9U

TV series "The Protector" filming at LMU

Students on campus this past week got a special treat when the cast and crew of the Lifetime series The Protector appeared in the Alumni Mall area. While the Lifetime network may not be the most-viewed channel for us LMU folk, we still can’t help but be flattered that they chose our lovely campus as a shooting spot. We’ll keep an eye out for this episode to air :)

LMU Homecoming 2011

LMU pride was all the rage this past saturday-January 29th-as lions young and old packed Hannon Field before the Homecoming game against Santa Clara. Alumni and their families were upon the first to arrive to the Tailgate event. Most likely in hopes of getting to relive their college days and share their Lion pride with their families.

I've got the magic in M.E.

David Minkin awed a full house on Friday Night with his, literally, unbelievable magic. I took my non-LMU friend to the show, and when I told her we were going to a magic show she gave me one of those “you have got to be kidding me?!” faces before she rolled her eyes. I did my best to reassure her that it was going to be way better than any other magic show, but she was still a...
