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.

PRIMUS
continued from page 6
not blasted into a frenzy — they were
lulled into another world. 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..."
