-ers, high school students and blue-collar
professionals of all ages are likely to drop a
name or two off the Ziegenbockfest bill.
While the majority of the artists welcome
the assortment of faces in the crowd, a few
of them admit that the song selection and
between-song conversation must be altered
slightly in order to appease everyone.
“I try not to drop too many f-bombs,” In
gram said. “But nobody’s perfect.”
Showmanship and emotions are key to
the success of the performances without
pyrotechnics and smoke machines over
whelming the sets of these Texas Coun-
try-Americana-Folk-Rock bands. Songs
of love, hate, relationships, beer, fishing,
friendships, growing up and life strike a
chord with audience members as they drive
back to the admitted influence of country
legends including Willie Nelson, Steve
Earle and Rodney Crowell.
As the music grows in size and accep
tance, so does the list of influential artists.
Newer members to the expanding lyrical
landscape acknowledge their appreciaii
for the long-time legends, but they’ve

“We try not to let it affect our pen
mance, but some of these guys are inn-
dating to talk to,” Eli said. “They are
ones who influenced us. It’s an honorjux
be on the same bill as them.”
Emotion and influence aside, thetrani|
ity at Lake Bryan comes to an end at no
Saturday, Sept. 4. The size of the crowd
the excitement generated by the culmina
of these artists is likely to give waytoso:
country chaos.

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
SALT LAKE CITY - A judge
unsealed an indictment Wednes
day against a homeless street
preacher accused of kidnapping
Elizabeth Smart, a day after the
self-proclaimed prophet was ruled
competent to stand trial.
The grand jury indictment of
Brian David Mitchell, returned
last September but kept under
wraps, includes kidnapping and
sexual assault charges against him
and his wife, Wanda Barzee.
The indictment will move the
case toward trial without a public
preliminary hearing that might have
required sensitive testimony from
Elizabeth. Mitchell was expected to
be arraigned Thursday, when a trial
date could be set.
The 50-year-old Mitchell and
Barzee, 58, are both charged with
kidnapping Elizabeth, then 14,
from her bedroom at knifepoint in
2002. The girl was allegedly taken
into the foothills near her home for
nine months, sexually assaulted
and kept as Mitchell’s second wife.
Mentally ill
soldier arrested
FORT LEWIS, Wash. - A soldier
accused of trying to pass military se
crets to al-Qaida suffers from bipo
lar disorder and other mental health
problems, a psychologist testified at
his court-martial Wednesday.
"He has been an outsider, a so
cial misfit, most of his life,” psychoF
ogist Jack Norris said of Spc. Ryan
G. Anderson.
Norris, of Madigan Army Medical
Center, said he began evaluating
Anderson in mid-July, eventually di
agnosing him with bipolar disoio;
also known as manic depressw
Anderson was videotaped pr
viding military information tofe
eral agents who prosecutors a
he thought were al-Qaida ager
Testimony concluded Wednesc;
with closing arguments setb
Thursday.
A second defense experts;
Wednesday that Anderson is at*
to tell right from wrong.
Dr. Russell Hicks, said he h;
diagnosed Anderson with Aspe-;
er's syndrome, a form of aufe-
that impairs cognitive and soc;
functioning.

JAY SLOVACEK
From the inexpensive
decor to the abundance of
televisions, this restaurant
and bar establishes itself as
a student joint. Manager
Cameron Smith calls it a
“hangout for students and
post-students,” and added
that he wants the environ
ment to be unique and local. “We aren't a chain
restaurant and we want that to show,” he said.
Things are different, from the televisions
to the Tex-Mex menu offered. Some quick
surveying (and sampling) pointed to favorites
such as queso, quesadillas and hamburgers.
The menu was developed by the same exper
tise that brought us Cafe Eccell, La Bodega
and The Library.
The drink specials are a good match to the
environment. Bar drinks are $1.50 daily, and
Smith is planning specials throughout the se
mester. Drink and food specials will make
watching Aggie athletics, the NFL and the
NBA a little more fun, particularly if you sit in
one of the leather couches facing the big-screen
televisions.
Slogan: “Drink. Grub. Chill.”
Atmosphere: Speakers usually pumpout To:
hits. Lunch is quiet and relaxed, with baseballsb
ing on the big screens and ESPN elsewhere. E
nings are noisy affairs, after the dinner rushen

Crowd: Diverse, but it depends on whattr
you go. Thursday through Saturday nights arc

groups.” Most patrons seem to have found thepk

Collateral Damage: SSS out of SSSSS.
