Club Groove brings hip-hop
and dancing to Eugene
WOW Hall will transform into a dance club Saturday,
when Portland DJ Matt Vaughn brings his Club Groove
to the local music venue.
Vaughn, otherwise known as DJ Envy, describes Club
Groove as a traveling hip-hop dance party.
“It’s like a party-slash-club,” Vaughn said. “The sound is
loud. You’ll feel the bass. The whole way we set things is so
that people have fun.” Raised in Eugene, Vaughn said he
wanted to create a fun event for people between the ages of
16 and 20 who normally don’t have a lot to do.
Vaughn started Club Groove with two other DJs while
living in Chico, Calif. He said the college and outdoor
events they hosted were successful, and he wanted to
continue the dance events in Oregon after moving back to
the area.
Those who attend can expect to hear a variety of hip-hop.
“We’ll be playing everything from new to old school,”
Vaughn said. “From N.O.R.E. and Eminem to Snoop
Dogg. You might even hear a Fugees hit from ‘97. Basically
all hip-hop; no disco or rock or trance.”
If this event is successful, Vaughn said he wants to
make Club Groove a monthly happening.
Club Groove will be pumping from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at
WOW Hall. Tickets are $3 for the first 300 people and $5
for everyone else.

Chicago
continued from page 5
The decision to produce “Chica
go” was made last winter by a com
mittee of students and faculty, with
auditions held in May.
Gilg says bringing the award-win
ning show to the Robinson Theatre
seemed timely.
“‘Chicago’ has been the hottest
ticket in New York for five years,”
Gilg said.
The production offered welcome
challenges for costume designer
Kristi Cocchiarella FitzGerald, a
second-year master of fine arts can
didate in costume design and a
graduate teaching fellow in the the
ater department.
“It’s a huge show,” FitzGerald
said. “It’s taught me a lot about col
laboration and quick changes and
character development through
minimalistic approaches.”
FitzGerald received a bachelor of
arts from Montana State University
and worked on costumes for Mon
tana Shakespeare in the Parks. She
was also assistant designer on the
University production of “The
Matchmaker” and designer on
“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.”
She said it has been rewarding to
work with a team of people who “nev
er tire of working long hours and get
ting little sleep to get things done and
seeing the finished product.”
FitzGerald spent the summer re
searching the show and meeting
with Watson and choreographer
Harmony Arnold to make sure the
concepts were reaching expecta
tions and ensuring the actors’ cos
tumes were conducive to the ex
pressive movement of the show.
Fellow master of fine arts student
and set designer Steen Mitchell is
also working with FitzGerald.
Debuting in 1975, “Chicago” was
a successful but somewhat forgotten
production until its revival in 1997,
when it won six Tony Awards, and
spawned a national tour. A film star
ring Renee Zellweger, Richard Gere
and Catherine Zeta-Jones will be re
leased this Christmas.
“Chicago” will play at 8 p.m. on
Nov. 8 and Nov. 9, Nov. 14 to Nov. 16
and Nov. 22 and Nov. 23; and at 2
p.m. on Nov. 17 at the Robinson
Theatre in Villard Hall.
