'The Prince & Me' evokes estrogen overload, male gagging

This review was supposed to be about “Hellboy.”

Have you seen “Hellboy” yet? I mean, have you really just kicked back and basked in the glory of that film? If you have, then you know what I’ m talking about.

Women see chick-flicks for many reasons. Sometimes it is to fill a void in their lives that should be filled with chivalrous romance, or perhaps it is to dream about the endless possibilities love has to offer.

Be inspired by an evening with 20-year-old jazz pianist and singer Peter Cincotti.

Presented by the Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA), the performance will be held in Farthing Auditorium at 8 p.m. Saturday.

Cincotti’s music aspirations began early with a diverse exposure to music.

“If you’re going to have a generic name like 4 on the Floor, you gotta do something stupid,” lead vocalist Nathan Palmer said. “[The name] came off a bathroom wall at an Exxon off of I-77.”
