Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
$5.00 - Money goes towards funding film projects for Students.
FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS
An adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's novel of the same name. The film details a whacky
search for the "American Dream", by Thompson and his crazed, Samoan lawyer. Fueled by
the massive amount of drugs they purchased with an advance from a magazine to cover a
sporting event in Vegas; they set out in the Red Shark. Encountering police, reporters,
gamblers, racers, and hitchhikers, they search for some undefinable thing know only as the
"American Dream" and find fear, loathing and hilarious adventures into the dementia of the
modern American West.
STUDIO 35 is Located at 3055 Indianola Ave. Along with being a large movie theater it also
a bar and restaurant serving draft beer, pizza, salad, and subs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Do You See Orange?
We want to see 2,500 students, or 5% of the student body, wearing bright orange t-shirts
that say "Orphan" on them on campus on April 9 and 10! Would your organization like
to partner with us? InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is sponsoring a Do You See Orange
campaign in order to raise awareness about the HIV/AIDS pandemic, specifically about the
fact that 5% of children in sub-Saharan Africa have lost one or both parents to AIDS. By
getting 5% of our students to wear the t-shirts, we will be staging a graphic representation
of the impact that HIV/AIDS is having on our generation and our world. We are selling the
t-shirts at cost for $5. If you would like to partner with us in this endeavor, go to
www.intervarsityosu.org/doyouseeorange for more information and to order t-shirts for your
organization. After you order your shirts, you will get a confirmation email about how to
collect information and money from your members, and when and where to pick up your
shirts. If you have questions, email orangeinfo@intervarsityosu.org.
