2 buzz October 11-17, 2013

It’s nearing the middle of October, and I’ve yet to pick out a Halloween costume.

Usually I don’t even begin to put anything resembling a costume together until a day or so before, so I guess I’m making some progress. Seriously, a few years ago I was “A guy who got lost on his way to a Barn Dance,” and I just wore a flannel shirt.

Laziest costume ever. But this time, it’s gonna be different. I swear! I’m gonna start narrowing it down this week. But what exactly makes a good costume?

If I look back through the years, there’s no doubt in my mind that my best costume was as David Wooderson, Matthew McConaughey’s character from Dazed and Confused. This was my favorite for oh so many reasons. Obviously, I was emulating a Matthew McConaughey character, so I got to wear cowboy boots. I also rocked some pinkish/reddish pants, a white tee with a printout of Ted Nugent’s face on it and a pack of cigarettes rolled up in the sleeve. Then I got to walk around all night acting like a '70s stoner and saying things like, “You just gotta keep livin’ man, L-I-V-I-N.” I was told I played the part well, which I’m not sure is a good thing or a bad one.

One of the best aspects of dressing like a character from a movie or TV show is acting like that character, even if they’re a complete jackass, just for the night.

Commitment is key. If you’re gonna go all out to look the part, you have to play the role, too. This year, I’m considering going as Tyler Durden from Fight Club. Not only would I have to wear some insane clothing to keep up with the Durden character from the movie (leather, fur, ridiculous sunglasses), but I would also have to run around causing mayhem and anarchy everywhere I went. Even though that could get tiring, it’s what Halloween’s all about, right?

Another feature that made the Wooderson costume great was that I had a group of friends who joined me as the other Dazed and Confused characters. A couple even had paddles, just in case any freshman didn’t know their place. Great costumes often come in groups, so any time you can get four or five of your friends to go in with you, you’re bound for a good time.

As of right now, it’s between Durden and a number of professional wrestlers, though I think that would be best if I could get a solid group together. But I’m still taking suggestions, so if you’ve got any great ideas feel free to send ‘em my way.

And vote for Best of CU! There’s still time!

LINDYPALOOZA

BY LEAH CAPLAN The Illini Swing Society is hosting its annual swing dance workshop, Lindypalooza, from October 11 to October 13. Dance instructors Thomas Blacharz and Alice Mei, who are from New York City and Montpelier, France, respectively, will teach more than 10 hours of lessons over the weekend. There will be three nights of dancing classes for dancers intermediate and up, live music and a fun competition.

The event is focused on a style of swing dancing called Lindy Hop, which was originally popular from the 1930s to the early 1950s and re-emerged in the late 1980s. Born out of the need for a source and outlet for joy in a tough time, Lindy Hop easily makes dancers and viewers smile with its highly energetic aesthetic.

Swing culture is a tight-knit network of people who sometimes travel hundreds of miles to dance together at big events like Lindypalooza, so you can expect to see dancers from all across the Midwest.

The dances on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night are all free for University students. Admission to Friday night’s dance is $6 for visiting students and $7 for non-students, and admission for Saturday night with live music and the competition is $11 to $13. The farewell dance on Sunday evening is free to everyone.

For more information, visit http://lindypalooza. illiniswing.org/index.html. To learn more about lesson sets and the Illini Swing Society, visit http:// www.illiniswing.org.

» Being allergic to everything: If I were cast as a character in a stereotypical high school dramedy today, I would probably be cast as that nerdy kid with suspenders and thick-rimmed glasses who always sounds like he’s congested and has to puff his asthma inhaler before he says anything. At least that’s how I’ve felt lately. What is with you, central Illinois? I assumed that when I came here from the Chicago area, away from all of the big city hustle and bustle and polluted air, I would be allergy free. Am I allergic to corn? I don’t know.

The source of my allergies has eluded me. All I know is that I’ve had to take a Benadryl before bed the last two nights, and I want to die.

» Almost dying: On Wednesday morning, my alarm went off at 8 a.m. I lazed around in bed for about an hour, got up, brushed my teeth, made some coffee and cuddled with a cat for a little bit. Then at around 9:50, I left my house, walked across Lincoln Avenue and started heading north to the Quad for my English class. AND THEN I SAW AN OLD DIRTY PICKUP TRUCK BARRELING DOWN THE ROAD AND STRAIGHT AT THE SIDEWALK WHERE I WAS WALKING AND I RAN OUT OF THE WAY AND NEARLY DIED. I still don’t know what exactly was going on, but the truck proceeded to drive up onto the sidewalk, injure one person and kill another. I called my parents and told them I loved them. It was the scariest moment of my life.

BREAKING BAD: At the end of season four, after Walt killed Mike, I sat in my bedroom — a dark basement, at the time — huddled in front of the warm glow of Netflix emanating from my laptop and bitterly said to myself, “Walter White must die!”

Breaking Bad closed last weekend on the story of Walter White, chemistry teacher turned meth kingpin in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He’s escalated in his cruelty, turning from a sympathetic character to a reprehensible person. With the series finale last Sunday, my wish became reality, but it did not bring the sense of vindication I thought it would. Instead, it brought a wonderful conflux of conflicting emotions that can only be brought about by good writing.

At the end of The Colbert Report on Monday night, Stephen Colbert opened a door to a dungeon-like room where he had Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad, chained up Jesse-style, typing on a laptop. When Gilligan protested, saying that the show was over, Colbert went on an emotional tirade about all the things he still needed closure on, asking, “What about Huell? What happened to him? ... What happened to Skyler? What happened to Jesse?

Did he get in a car accident? He was driving pretty fast! What about Walter? Maybe he’s not dead!BUZZ Maybe he was faking it! Maybe he’s got a twinFRIDAY brother we’re just finding out about now!” Colbert ends with OCTOBER 11 a command to Gilligan: corp note...keep “Keep typing, bitch!” this same size always Despite Colbert’s hilarious bit, Gilligan did, in fact, 1 X 5.417 do a tremendous job on the final episode. Every important loose end was tied up with the precision of a 1/8th page Walter White ricin packet. He wrapped up his criminal connections on a bang — technically, on a series of bangs with a rigged machine gun. It did leave the fate of the other characters a bit of a mystery, but it brought us back home to the pilot, focusing on who this man is and what he’s about. In a wonderful moment, Walt admits to Skyler, “I did it for me. I liked it.” With that admission, that acknowledgement of his responsibility in this, Walter White became more human, and his quiet death at the end brought more quiet contemplation than dances of victory.

But make no mistake, this finale was not just a victory for everyone working on Breaking Bad — it was a triumph.

DEXTER: During Breaking Bad’s finale, I’m sure there were plenty of people on their phones typing “OMG!” Dexter’s series finale also had me typing a threeletter abbreviation, but mine was “WTF?” Dexter has followed sociopathic serial killer Dexter Morgan as he tries to lead a normal life as a blood splatter analyst for the Miami Police Department while carving up criminals in his free time.

The quality of the show dwindled as the seasons went on. Not even fancy guest stars like

Bryan Cranston as Walter White in AMC's Breaking Bad. Used with permission from AMC.

Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan with actress Charlotte Rampling as Dr. Evelyn Vogel. Used with permission from Showtime.

Mos Def or Colin Hanks could lift the show to the former glory of season one. I knew a number of people who quit the show, but just as I grew close to abandoning the Slice of Life myself, they announced there’d only be two seasons left. I decided to stay devout, hoping it would turn around and eager for what was certain to come at the end: punishment.

Dexter — and Walter White — broke society’s laws. We root for him; he is a nice person, but there’s that thing where he kills people. At the most basic level, there are bad guys. Bad guys kill people, and if you break the rules, if you kill somebody, there must be repercussions. Not in real life, of course, but in fiction, there ought to be punishments. I personally could not wait for Dexter’s punishment, not because I wanted to see a character I liked suffer but because it was necessary to restore order. There were two ways for it to go: Dexter gets caught and goes to prison, or Dexter dies.

Ignoring the vast quantity of flaws in the fi-

nale, my biggest problem was that it made it seem like it was finally going in that direction: Dexter sails straight into a hurricane, and remains of his boat are found floating sadly in the water days later. It was a troubled ending to a crappy episode, but at least it brought a sense of finality.

But it did not end there. After getting all the supporting characters’ reactions to the news of his assumed death, we cut — bizarrely — to the forest, where we see a bearded lumberjack working. “Who is this man?” we wonder, with an unsettling feeling that this show is about to end on an incredibly stupid note. We follow the random lumberjack into his cabin, where he sits and looks impassively at the camera. It is Dexter. And we cut to credits after his cold, long look at the audience — the biggest WTF moment of the entire series!

If Breaking Bad went out on a bang, then Dexter went out — to steal from the T.S. Eliot poem — “not with a bang but a whimper.”

recently had the chance to speak with Armando Sandoval, owner of Maize Mexican Grill at 60 E. Green St. He told us about their additional location and why their original location has been so successful. Âť buzz: What made you decide to open a restaurant? Âť AS: I went to school here for a year or so, I had been here before and I know the town. Every time I wanted to go out and eat Mexican food, I thought something was missing, so I decided to open Maize. Âť buzz: There have been rumors going around about a new location in downtown Champaign, can you tell me anything about that? Âť AS: Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be located at University and Chestnut streets, where the old train station used to be. We are actually going to have two dining rooms and a patio. We are going to start with one dining room first with the same menu, drinks and a couple of appetizers. The dining room in the front will be open later on once weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re settled. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to try to do both this location on Green Street and the one on University,

so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do everything in steps.

The dining room in the front will be done later on. A lot of the customers want dishes that are harder to make, such as chiles rellenos, tamales and other dishes, and that is what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to use that side of the restaurant for.

Right now, everyone is asking for more room.

Everyone comes in and they want to have a seat, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mainly what we want to offer in the beginning.

We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to mess around with something that has been working for us, so that gives us the opportunity of offering that to customers, but at the same time for those who want something else or something different, we want to add that in the other dining room. Âť buzz: Do you plan on changing the menu anytime soon? Âť AS: Not in the beginning. The thing is that the tricky part of having two places is keeping consistency. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our main focus right now. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really been pushing to open it quickly because of that. We are actually busier at this location this year than we were last year, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

really hard trying to add something when this place is really busy already.

What we want to do is have the two places, but we also want the consistency to be there.

Everybody has high expectations for us because of our reviews and all of the things people are saying about the restaurant. I think if we were to move too fast or not do something right, people would notice right away. Âťbuzz: Do you have a date set for opening the new location? Âť AS: We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a date set yet. Every time a customer came in and asked, I would give a date. I stopped doing that because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of tricky because we want to do things right, and when you want to do something like this itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very hard because you have to get the right people. Right now I have a good team. Everybody does a great job here. But at the same time, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re opening a new restaurant, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dividing that team and hiring new people, so those changes are kind of tricky. So we want to take our time to make sure that we get it done as well as possible.

Fun, Fearless, Fashionable

Âť buzz: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favorite menu item? Âť AS: I jump around. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big taco fan; every time I go to Mexico City, I have to go to a taco stand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not a restaurant, a taco stand, especially if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s packed with people. The taco has always been one of my favorites, but the gordita is also one of my favorites. Every time I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to eat, I just go to the back and make myself a gordita because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy and simple. Âť buzz: Where do the menu items originally come from? Âť AS: I lived in Guerrero, Mexico, for a couple of years on a small little farm. In Guerrero, there are handmade tortillas, pumpkin flower, huitlacoche and mushrooms; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where that part of the menu is from. In Mexico City, you have the tacos, tlacoyos and huaraches. The combination of what I like is just that: handmade tortillas with tacos. The recipe for the volcanes I got from a place in Michoacan, Mexico, where my fiance is from, but most of the menu items are street food you would find in Mexico City.

That was where I got the idea in the beginning, but it turned into its own little thing. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take all the credit.

ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE ORPHEUM AFTER DARK? Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s museum explores Champaignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paranormal past

BY CHRISTINA NOWICKI

T

his fall season, the Orpheum Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Science Museum is putting on several events catered toward children and adults alike. Throughout the month of October, people will have the opportunity to go on ghost tours of downtown Champaign, learning about the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history through the graceful storytelling of Camille Born â&#x20AC;&#x153;Storyteller.â&#x20AC;? Or, if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not scary enough for you, those over the age of 18 also have the opportunity to explore paranormal activity with the Champaign-Chicago Illinois Paranormal Society (CHIPS) in the historic building that is now the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s museum.

The Orpheum is holding these Halloweenthemed events in honor of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique history. Built in 1914, the building was originally a vaudeville theater where greats like Harry Houdini and the Marx Brothers performed. But as vaudeville phased out, the theater eventually turned into a movie theater and remained as such until it was closed in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. In order to save the building from being torn down, the Preservation and Conservation Association opted to turn it into a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s museum for the community.

Because of its long history, the Orpheum is considered to be haunted, even by some of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

employees. This past year, CHIPS came into the theater in order to test some of the claims made by employees and to possibly find some evidence to back up the history of the theater. When asked

what makes people believe the building is haunted, museum coordinator Zoe Stinson said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Houdini always said he would come back to visit his wife on Halloween night, and Houdini performed here, so

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of rolling with that.â&#x20AC;?

Aside from the building simply being old, many employees have reported paranormal experiences in the building, from things as small as the sound of

footsteps all the way to the claim of being pushed by an unknown entity.

“We all have our own stories,” said Stinson. “It is kind of creepy to be in here sometimes by yourself late at night. You do that fast walk to get in and out of a room sometimes.”

While Stinson did not yet know the results of the CHIPS investigation of the theater, there are undeniably “creepy vibes” in the building, as she put it.

The investigators used technology, such as electromagnetic field (EMF) detectors, to scan the theater for signs of the paranormal. Although Stinson hasn’t had any personal paranormal experiences in the building, she said: “I do feel that we have something here. I think whatever is here, it’s in pretty good spirits. There’s a lot of people that really love this building and come in and out and have been a part of its history. And I think that sometimes they’re still around.”

On October 12 and 19, people will have a chance to investigate the building on their own with the help of CHIPS and their technology as a part of the museum’s “After Dark Adult Series” of events.

Stinson said that a lot of people will just come for fun and to explore the theater, “but you never know what you’ll find.”

This event will be the first of many events the museum will begin putting on that are geared toward an adult audience. If investigating a historic theater late at night is too much scare for your heart to handle, the Orpheum is also putting on ghost tours of downtown Champaign. While not quite as nerveclenching as the paranormal investigation of the Orpheum, the tours also cater to those interested in the history of the town.

Although the ghost tour might not make you want to keep the lights on when you sleep, it will definitely leave you with goosebumps. The tours will be conducted by Camille Born “Storyteller,” a storyteller in the community who is also a part of the Champaign-Urbana Storytelling Guild, ensuring a good time for all those who attend. The tour will transform the town’s history into suspense and surprise-filled stories that are sure to “send eerie chills up your spine,” Born said.

The series of adult-oriented events will continue later into the fall with a snow globe mixology event that will be held on November 29.

The “After Dark: Champaign Ghost Stories” event will be held on October 11, October 18 and October 25 for those over the age of 12 at 7:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.

The “After Dark Adult Series: Paranormal Investigation in the Orpheum Theater” will be held October 12 and 19 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. for those over the age of 18. The museum’s Halloween-themed events will conclude with the “Halloween Family Spooktakular” on October 26 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.

ith the upcoming release of his new album with the guy who recorded, I found some musicians Day of the Dog, Ezra Furman is embarking that I liked, etc. on tour, starting here in Illinois, and his second stop Now the thing about the new one is, is after that happens to be at Mike N Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Be prepared be- album came out, I knew I had to form a band so I cause, in his words, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;ready to fight.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faster, more now because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re amazing musicians with great upbeat and absolutely wild. To him, this is rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sensibility. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re called the Boyfriends, and the roll. buzz chatted with Furman about Boyfriends, new album is played by me and the Boyfriends. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the big differences. mood swings and rock. Âť buzz: Tell me about the writing and recording process Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a change in tone from the last one ;YHKLZOV^ +PZWSH`Z of the new album. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed since the last release because the last one was sort of down and very and your previous efforts with the Harpoons? introspective, quite emotionally scarred, and the ÂťEF: Well, a lot has changed, actually. The Harpoons new one is too, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more upbeat and manic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are no longer together, and that was a big change still emotional, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of wild this time around. for the last one. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m there all by myself. Whatever I Âťbuzz: I kind of noticed that myself. It sounded much wanted happened.

albums are rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll albums, but this one sounded, like you said, faster and more upbeat. Is there a reason behind that? ÂťEF: Well, for one thing, the last album was kind of the depressive swing, and the new one is the manic. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mania to the first oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depression. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of yin and yang, the whole manicdepressive outlook or demeanor that I tend to have. I got the manic-depression in my life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like mood swings, these two albums are the two poles of that condition.

Then the thing is, I was thinking about all these great songwriters. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very tempting to write slow songs.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s those really slow songs that show off your ability as a songwriter. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written a lot of those, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cut most of them off of this album because what I thought now that I most have to offer is a wild mess.

I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best way to be myself musically at this point in my life: to play fast and to spread a lot of energy around. Âťbuzz: So like you said, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to convey the more manic side with the manic depression, so were the expectations more positive in that sense? ÂťEF: I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say positive. I think that would be misleading to say positive because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a lot of negativity. The first song is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Wanna Destroy Myself.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about how much energy and how fast things are moving is what really changed.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a certain joy and positivity that comes from just playing fast music, I think. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a musical joy, and at least for right now, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I could leave behind the dysfunction and negativity that is a )HUULY +PZWSH`Z part of my music and my soul. This oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to fight.â&#x20AC;? The first album is like me taking a psychic, spiritual and social beating. Now on this one, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got nothing to lose and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to fight. Âťbuzz: I like that a lot. So are there other influences other than wanting to fight back? ÂťEF: Oh, sure. You can probably tell when you listen

'H RZ VLJQ \R Q ED XU RQOL QQHUV QH

to it; I listen to a lot of older stuff. I got really into how in the early days of rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll, there were a lot of saxophone solos. Every band had a saxophone player who would take wild solos, then the guitar player and the lead guitar player became more standard. But before that, it was much more common to have a saxophone solo than a guitar solo, I feel.

Maybe it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. I just pick and choose. I like a good wild saxophone player, and I found one and I had to bring him into the band. Âťbuzz: So will there be a saxophone player in Champaign on the 11th? ÂťEF: Yes! Absolutely. There are five of us now, rather than four. He does other stuff too, but his forte is the saxophone. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stepping it up. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re rehearsing now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re preparing and things are heating up. I think the shows will be our best shows yet. Âťbuzz: You said the Harpoons are broken up, but are there still themes from those albums that carry over?

On Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, you have a song called â&#x20AC;&#x153;God is a Middle-Aged Woman,â&#x20AC;? but now on this album you say â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Maybe God is a Train.â&#x20AC;? So are there still themes that carry throughout your music, and are new ones developed as well? ÂťEF: Oh, yes. In some ways, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still writing the same songs again and again. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of imagining what god might be. Manic-depression is a theme. Self-negation and self-destruction is a theme. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Wanna Be Ignoredâ&#x20AC;? on our first record, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this self-negation streak.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Killed Myself But I Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Dieâ&#x20AC;? that carries over into â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Wanna Destroy Myself.â&#x20AC;? I heard somebody say that an artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is to make your own obsession into other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obsession, or something like that. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying it right, I think.

But the things that obsess me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to worm those into other peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brains as well.

WISHFUL THINKING

A preview of Make-A-Wish Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Walk and Run for Wishes fundraiser

JONE SINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

by Matt Jones

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Magazine Insertsâ&#x20AC;?--I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see what the issue is.

BY BUZZ COMMUNITY STAFF

I

magine taking a run on a beautiful fall day in Champaign. Now envision that same run, except now you're dressed as the Flash, with hundreds of other people dressed as equally well-known characters. Now picture that all the money raised from this run is donated to the Make-A-Wish foundation. Sound too good to be true? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not. This is exactly the premise behind the Make-A-Wish foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk and Run for Wishes.

The Make-A-Wish foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The Illinois chapter of Make-AWish was started in 1985 and since then has granted over 11,000 wishes. This year alone, the chapter will fulfill the wishes of more than 700 children in Illinois. The money received from the Walk and Run for Wishes will go to exactly that.

Janet Glavin, the community relations manager at Make-A-Wish Illinois, explained the choice to make the 5K a costumed race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided to encourage our participants to wear costumes because they capture the whimsical and creative nature of the wishes, which is what our foundation is all about,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The Walk and Run for Wishes also seeks to promote a sense of community for all who participate. Runners have the option of forming a team, which provides a great way for RSOs, sororities and fraternities and other groups on campus to band together to support this magical foundation.

Members of the University have already stepped up and found ways to contribute to this occasion. John Groce, head coach for the Fighting Illini men's basketball team, and his wife, Allison, have issued a matching challenge. They will match every $5,000 that is donated to the Make-A-Wish foundation through the Walk and Run for Wishes.

If that still is not incentive enough to come out to this terrific event, former Bears player Desmond Clark will be running in the event, and fans have the option of joining his team.

Online registration for the 5K will end at noon on October 11, but on-site registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. the day of the event. The price for registration is $25 for adults and $15 for students ages 18 to 22. At 9:00 a.m. there will be a short program, and then the 5K will begin at 9:30 a.m. After the race, prizes will be awarded for the top team fundraisers and best costume.

So throw on a black hat and sunglasses, call yourself Heisenberg and come out to Zahnd Park in Champaign on October 12 to support Make-A-Wish. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;by Emily Dejka

Costume ideas for the event: For any runners who do not think they are fast enough to beat the competitors, then they could try the next best strategy: distract them. And what better way to make people stare and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What on earth...â&#x20AC;? than with a Lady Gaga costume? Really, you can do anything extravagant and pass it off as Lady Gaga. Simply put on the weirdest clothes in your closet, decorate them with the most random things you can imagine and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got yourself a costume. However, sticking meat all over you is not suggested because you do not want to give your competitors a reason to run away faster from you. That would defeat the whole purpose. Go for something mesmerizing.

Bubbles. Bubbles are strangely mesmerizing. Simply buy some clear plastic balls (easily found on the internet), hot glue them onto that old dress bought cheap from a thrift shop and there you go. A Lady Gaga bubble dress. Or you can take a different approach. Try to take up a lot of space with a sci-fi looking Lady Gaga dress by hot gluing a bundle of light-up hula hoops onto a dress. The lights will not only distract eyes from the prize, but the bulky hoops will cause a problem for anyone trying to squeeze around you to pass you up. In fact, any costume that is flashy should do the trick.

Runners can wear clothes made of shiny, reflective material that will sneakily blind anyone who tries to look at them. Maybe stick some plush spikes on the costume for good measure, and anyone who tries to push past will be innocently stabbed with fuzz. Fairly safe spikes can be made out of aluminum foil by rolling them into cylinder shapes; they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to actually hurt anyone.

Hopefully. Whatever you choose, simply speed past the runners gawking at you and pass the finish line before anyone comprehends what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wearing. If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing that Lady Gaga could contribute to our society, her fashion statements make for some excellent distractions. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;by Natalie Czarnota
