Tim Bobosky Photographer Friends gather around Michael Garrity to view the Oregon premier of "Stealing Time," his first movie, Garrity said he had the idea for the movie while he was attending the University and tending bar at Rennie's Landing. ‘Stealing Time' gets Oregon premiere "Stealing Time" made its Ore gon premiere at the McMenamins Kennedy School in Portland on Friday night. It will continue to show there throughout the week. The film, produced by Univer sity alumnus Michael Garrity, is about four friends newly out of college who try to make their way in the world as one friend deals with his impending death. Garrity, a graduate of the Uni versity's School of Journalism and Communication, said the idea for the story was first hatched when he was bartending his way through college at Ren nie's Landing in Eugene. Garrity will be in Eugene to promote the film Nov. 5. There will be a hometown premier of the movie Nov. 7. "Stealing Time" premiered on Oct. 3 in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco. The film fea tures performances by Peter Facinelli, Ethan Embry, Scott Fo ley, Charlotte Ayanna and Jen nifer Gamer. Garrity said even though many of the characters in the film carry some of his traits, the film is not autobiographical and none of the characters is based entirely on one person from his life. "There is a lot of reality in there... a name from one person and an experience from another," Garrity said. He added that he drew from many of the experiences and friendships he had during his time at the University.

This shows that Primus no longer needs to prove themselves. They are masters; they are the "Southbound Pachyderm." Since last performing, the group has established a new sense of im provisation in their songs. Hearing new versions of "Frizzle Fry," "Pud ding Time," "Toys Go Winding Down" and one of my favorites, "Over the Electric Grapevine," was amazing. All these songs were mutat ed and stretched like putty, which just made them heavier and funkier than I have ever heard. And this was only the first set — a mere appetizer for what came next. The true show began dur ing the second set when they per formed their classic album "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" in its entirety. During the strange breakdown of "is It Luck?," Primus launched into a cover of Pink Floyd's classic "In The Flesh". The crowd erupted in ap proval. I took a particular liking to the ver sion of "American Life," when Clay pool unleashed the baddest gypsy funk bass solo I've heard in quite some time. Alexander got his never ending solo too, rolling his drums up and down the walls of the Huh Cen ter. The crowd paid its respects with maddening applause. At one point, Claypool came out with the strangest instrument I've ever seen. It appeared to be a large rod with a single bass string attached to it. It seemed to be made for percussive purposes, because at one point Clay pool was simply beating out a furious rhythm on the thing with dmm sticks. It was unreal. The second set concluded with "Los Bastardos", in which a slew of masked musicians took the stage and played along with the band. Claypool said to the crowd, "There are only three words, so sing along: 'Here they come.'" The crowd followed along, growing louder as the freak show on stage began to grow into a frenzy. The set ended and Primus walked offstage. It wasn't long before the crowd grew impatient for an encore. The crowd chanted "Primus sucks!" with increasing volume. All fans know this routine; it is a calling card. This is what brings them back out. And sure enough, the group re turned for one more song. The chords to "Too Many Puppies" began, and Claypool sang: "Too many puppies are being shot in the dark/Too many puppies are trained not to bark..."
