I even confessed in my very first column on September 13 that I had "the standard, goofy, freshman-like, first-month-at-Notre-Dame-and-just-can't-believe-it grin on my face." I was told that that would wear off eventually and I would come to realize that Notre Dame is not the Utopia I thought it would be. So I thought I would review the events of the last semester and see just how much "Dome afterglow" I still have left, if any.

As a live band, they have their act down. As recording artists, OLP has its act down too, but not in a good way.
