Livin' in a Northshore World
TV Review: Gotham By Ryan Neil
As Autumn breezes its way into Champaign, we get cozy (or jaded) with our essential records reminiscent of the season.
Maybe you have noticed the stark red and white signs recently appearing in front yards throughout residnential Urbana. Their slogans express an obvious disdain for Carle Medical Center: “My family pays Carle’s share of taxes,” “Carle’s ‘charity’ medical care, paid for by Urbana school children,” “Carle workers save lives, Carle taxes” yada yada, etc. If you have not taken the time to visit the website advertised in oh-so-tiny print at the bottom of the sign (http://ConcernedCitizensOfUrbana. org), these signs likely seem like incoherent, anti-taxation gibberish. In fact, many Urbana homeowners are currently protesting a piece of legislation passed by the Illinois General Assembly way back during the spring of 2013. The bill in question, SB2194, was a part of our state’s efforts to reform Medicaid. SB2194 allows medical care providers to claim an exemption on their property taxes for the cost of any charity care they provide (in this case, charity care is defined as services provided to those in need, paid for by donations). On paper, the idea is a great one—encouraging and supporting the medical attention hospitals give Illinois’ low-income families is important and worthy. Maybe this is working in other communities but, in practice, it is hurting Urbana. In 2013 and again this year, Carle did not pay its property taxes. As a result, Urbana residents paid between 10 and 11 percent in additional property taxes. This increase is a vastly unfair burden on Urbana families—Carle provides care to 40 counties across Central Illinois and parts of Indiana and Missouri. The taxpayers of Urbana account for only 3% of the region’s population. Carle’s disregard for these folks is irresponsible. Carle’s bottom line can certainly handle the tax payments: In 2011, they reported profits of $107 million and paid $6 million in taxes. If Carle is truly committed to caring for our community, it’s time to prove it.

weeks, I have grown increasingly fond of coffee. I have hated the stuff all my life until this past summer, when sitting in a cubicle for 40 hours a week finally forced me to crack. I started out small with a cup of boiling hot coffee and, after a few sips, I decided that hot coffee was not for me. Fortunately, coffee is served in a variety of ways, leaving me with plenty of alternatives. The next day, I decided to go for an iced coffee, and I was hooked. Soon a cup a day turned into four, and I was never going back. Now that I’m back at school and not working where coffee is free, I am having trouble satisfying my cravings while saving money. I’m quickly starting to realize that maybe despising coffee wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

» Overhearing people's conversations: I have a hardcore people-watching problem that sometimes spills over into eavesdropping on conversations. Most of it comes from overeager freshmen who are amazed by everything college has to offer. My two favorite gems from this semester are “Dude, did you know that the UGL has a coffee shop in it? So like, if you get tired, you can just go get coffee!” and “Does this shirt show sideboob?” To all the freshmen out there, keeping doing your thang.

» Stolen bike: Normally, I’m positively anal about locking my bike. However, one miserable, rainy day, sliding up to class ten minutes late, I left my trusty U-lock dangling on the handlebars while scrambling in to class. That rushed goodbye was the last time I ever saw that beauty, purchased for all of 50 bucks off Craigslist. My blood still boils when I recall coming back to the bike rack an hour later to behold only empty space staring innocently back at me, but out of all the grief and rage associated with this tragedy, there is one fact I can take solace in-neither of the brakes work! So to whoever jacked my ride , I wish you well. You probably won’t be cruising on it for long.

W
hat do Daredevil, a Bond Girl, Doogie Howser, Madea and the naked model from the Blurred Lines music video have in common? Well, they are all actors in book-turnedfilm Gone Girl. Now, how did David Fincher, the director of Fight Club and The Social Network, pull off the production of this popular pageturner by Gillian Flynn? Quite well, if I do say so myself. He started with an impressive cast. Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike are a match made in blockbuster heaven, portraying the troubled marriage of Nick (Affleck) and Amy Dunne (Pike) flawlessly. So, if you’re looking for a great thriller to watch with your sweetheart, this is definitely your date night fix (never mind the fact that it will cause you both to question how much you can truly trust the ones you love). The opening scene will definitely sent some shivers down your spine. Just picture a close up of shot of Amy’s head as her husband strokes
her hair before openly contemplating breaking her skull open to uncover her thoughts. Creepy status achieved, Nick Dunne. His wife’s disappearance, which shortly follows the hair-stroking scene, doesn’t do much to help his case either. Granted, their marriage was on the rocky road to Divorceville, which may account for his slight indifference, but seriously: Did he kill her, or did he not? Well, we think he killed her, but we just don’t know for sure. Affleck plays the concerned, yet slightly aloof husband to a perfectly frustrating T, and his praiseworthy acting and the movie’s portrayal of Nick Dunne helped form our suspicion and aversion of him from the very start. Pike’s Amy Dunne, on the other hand, is sweet and likeable, much like the beautiful, golden-haired Rosamund herself. Really, nothing screams innocent on our screens more than blonde hair matched with a pair of baby-blue eyes. Amy’s diary entries are read aloud, and
they take us on a little flashback journey to the first stages of her relationship with Nick, when he didn’t seem so creepy and sketchy. Giddy and romantically written, her entries of their love almost make us fall for him the same way she did. This causes us to form empathy for Amy because we think we already know her dreadful fate and the person who lead her to it. Poor, poor Amy. Evil, evil Nick! Or so we are lead to think... There are plot twists present around every turn in this movie, so if you dislike sitting on the edge of your seat, then I’d advise that you stay home and watch some Disney Channel shows or something equally bland. Might I suggest Dog with a Blog? Gone Girl offers us a darker look into the dynamics of a modern-day marriage, revealing all of Nick and Amy’s secrets and deceits in a fast-paced drama that never lets up. It’s raw, it’s realistic and it will keep you guessing until the bitter end.

ON BEING HUMAN Thornton Wilder’s “The Skin of Our Teeth” arrives at Krannert BY ANWEN PARROTT
T
here are plays that make you laugh and others that make you cry. There are some plays about love. There are productions set in the 21st century and others rooted firmly in the past. And then there is “The Skin of Our Teeth,” a play that encompasses every loosely defined genre listed above and moves beyond their various constraints. There are many plays that successfully capture some sliver of the human experience, but very few ambitious enough to attempt to capture the entirety of it. “The Skin of Our Teeth,” opening at the Krannert Center on Thursday, Oct. 16, is the exception. Written in 1942 by Thornton Wilder, “The Skin of Our Teeth” attempts to capture the whole of human history in three acts. The play, labeled a “new comedy” at the time of its initial release, has seen great success over the years, even winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1943. “’The Skin of Our Teeth’ is a sort of celebration of the human spirit’s ability to endure,” Director
and Assistant Head of the Theatre Department J.W. Morrissette said. “Part of the comedy comes from a lot of anachronisms; there are things that seem out of time and place. We have the great philosophers of the universe existing at the same time as the Wooly Mammoths, and then we go to Atlantic City for a beauty contest.” Wilder’s production manages to chronicle the complexity and endurance of humankind through the experiences of one family. Mr. and Mrs. Antrobus (a play on the Greek word “Anthropos,” meaning human) are seen as the typical American heads-of-house, with a few notable exceptions: They have been married for 5,000 years and, although they have always had two kids, their children “haven’t always been the same,” Morrissette said. There are also some obvious biblical overtones, placing Mr. and Mrs. Antrobus in comparison with Adam and Eve. Throughout the various acts, the Antrobus family runs into a number of problems, some surpris-
ingly relevant to a modern audience. “In Act One, we’re dealing with an ice age, even though it is not prehistoric time,” Morrissette said. “There’s this huge climate issue with glaciers that are wiping everything off the map, but it’s supposed to be in New Jersey in the mid20th century. Fast forward to 2014—sound like climate change?” Morrissette says the Antrobus family continues to face challenges as the play progresses. “In Act Two, we go to present day on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, where there’s a big beauty contest. Mr. Antrobus finds himself as a political leader and there’s an examination of political power and what happens when the family starts to become divided a little bit. Act Three is a post war review: We’ve gone through war, and we’re putting the pieces back together.” Though Wilder wrote “The Skin of Our Teeth” over 70 years ago, the play doesn’t seem outdated or tired. In fact, one of the most surprising

aspects of the script is its freshness and relatability. The issues and human struggles that Wilder grappled with appear to be lasting ones. “Wilder is amazing,” Morrissette said. “I swear he had a crystal ball while he wrote this play because the issues that he addressed in 1942 are issues that we’re still addressing.

PANDAMONIUM ON THE STREETS CU’s favorite doughnuts get some wheels BY LEILA SHINN

W
ith wildly creative flavors and rampant lines, Pandamonium Doughnuts has filled the donut-shaped hole in CU’s sweets scene. Though the bakery only opened in May of 2013, it has quickly become a fixture at Urbana’s Market at Square and, having also run a successful pop-up at [co][lab], spawned a legion of foodie followers. Nobody could resist trying flavors like Maple Bacon Apple Fritter or Cereal Killer, but it’s the shop’s offering of vegan and gluten-free options that makes it an all-around smash hit. Now, half a year after buzz last sat down with James Kyung, owner of Pandamonium Doughnuts, we talk the new food truck, fall flavors and the shop’s sweet future. »buzz: How did you come up with the name for your business? »James Kyung: The name for Pandamonium Doughnuts is actually a funny story, as my nickname was “Panda” to lots of my friends when I was a student right here at UIUC, so I always joked that if I ever owned a business

it would incorporate Pandamonium, and thus when doughnuts came around, I used it as a placeholder for a temporary business name, but it actually stuck! »buzz: You recently purchased and designed a food truck that you’d been planning to get for a while now. Why did you decide to open a food truck? How long did this process take and did you face any challenges along the way? »JK: One of the main reasons I decided to go with a food truck was because of the lower overhead costs compared to opening an entire brick and mortar. It helped me keep costs down but also gives me an option of moving around to different areas to reach more markets. Also, it will allow me to work with a simplified menu of just specialty, artisan doughnuts and few drink options. The process took about eight to nine months to complete from idea stage, to getting art work, finding the necessary tools and people to work on the truck, to getting everything going with the health department. Of course, you run into challenges, mostly unforeseen, along
the way. What I learned is, nothing really goes accordingly to plan, and unexpected challenges and speed bumps happen along the way. For instance, getting a power system figured out, having to go out-of-state to get the truck outfitted, etc. You need a back-up plan to your backup plan and just keep moving along. »buzz: Before the food truck, how did you operate? Is a full-sized store in your plans for the future? »JK: Before our food truck, we operated at the Urbana Farmers’ Market (Market at the Square), which we are still regular vendors there every Saturday, in the North East corner entrance, from 7 a.m. (until we’re) sold out. We actually would not be around if it wasn’t for the Urbana Market at the Square. We like to refer to the farmers’ market as our unofficial home. We started last year at the market, and our first ever attempt of selling doughnuts was in June of 2013. From that day on, even though we were small, we loved being in that market setting and meeting all the doughnut lovers of CU and just grew from there. We also did a few pop-
up shops in downtown Urbana and downtown Champaign, which helped get our name out. We also do special orders for all type of occasions, from the random doughnut cravings to catering larger parties, office meetings and weddings. We have done a few weddings this past summer, and those were a lot of fun! In the future, I do see a full-size store opening up, but for the time being, I want to see how the food truck does and go from there. I would love to have a physical shop and a permanent home, so we’ll have to wait and see! »buzz: What does your food truck have to offer, and is there any other information you’d like to share on your food truck? »JK: Our food truck will be a hitting the road mostly every day, starting at about 7:30 a.m. and selling ‘til we are sold out. We will offer all kinds of artisan, specialty doughnuts, from our current flavors people have come to love to many new fl avors in the works being debuted on the food truck. Our menu will change daily, with a different set of flavors being offered ev-

ery day. We will also offer drip coffee, juice and hot cocoa, and iced-drinks during summer. The most important thing for people wanting to find the truck, see the menu for the day, learn about our doughnuts, etc. is to visit us on Facebook or Twitter. We will do all our location announcements and menu changes via social media. »buzz: What makes your doughnuts so special, and which one is your biggest hit? »JK: I think people have been drawn to our doughnuts because of the way they are produced and the amount of work that is put into them. I always tell people, we put a lot of TLC into these sweet pastries, each doughnut gets equal amounts of attention to detail. That
sounds a little weird, I know, but we really want every doughnut sold to be the same for each person enjoying them, especially if it is their first time having one of our doughnuts. We are a scratch bakery, meaning everything we do is made from scratch, every night into morning. We make all our doughs, batters, glazes, toppings from in-house. For instance, our Autumn Berry doughnuts are made from locally harvested autumn berries and then turned into a fresh glaze. Most doughnut shops are now commercialized and big chains, where the are factory made or made from pre-made mixes, with lots of artificial ingredients and preservatives. We take pride in the fact that we are
going back to artisan ways of making America’s favorite pastry: the doughnut. We also offer gluten-free and vegan doughnut options! Our most popular doughnut is definitely the Maple Bacon Apple Fritter. Close behind are the Blueberry-Lemon, S’mores and PB&J. A new flavor of ours, Chocolate Peanut Butter (PB glaze, Chocolate drizzle, with Reese’s PB cups) is quickly gaining a following, as well. »buzz: Do you have any seasonal flavor offerings this fall? »JK: We have lots of new seasonal flavors we are offering at the moment. We have: Maple Pecan Crunch (house made pecan praline), Real Apple Cider (vegan), Pumpkin Spice and a few
more in the works for later in the fall season. Also look out for those winter seasonal flavors! »buzz: Where should fans look for your food truck? »JK: People can find my truck traveling all around the CU area. From campustown, downtown Champaign and Urbana and who knows where. The most important thing for people wanting to find the truck, see the menu for the day, learn about our doughnuts, etc. is to visit us on Facebook or Twitter. We will do all our location announcements and menu changes via social media. Pandamonium Donuts can be found online at https://facebook.com/PandaDoughnuts.

TAKING CHANCES
Sharon Van Etten comes to Champaign BY SEAN NEUMANN »buzz: Doesn’t seem like you got a lot of time off this year with the release of Are We There? »Sharon Van Etten: You’ve got to bust your butt and travel as much as you can on the release of a record, you know? »buzz: You’re playing a lot in Europe through November and December. How do you prepare to go out on the road for so long? »SVE: I’m still learning how to do it. I’m sitting here in my kitchen with my pedal board on the floor and Listerine on my piano bench and my laundry bin on the floor (laughs). I’m always like a scattered little kid before I leave, but it’s just making sure that you see everybody you want to see before you go and trying to be in a good mental state to be in a van for a month. My band’s pretty awesome. energy-wise, so we’re all friends and that helps.
“I DIDN’T REALLY CONNECT THAT MESS OR HOW IT AFFECTED ME, BUT I REALIZED I WAS HAPPIER AND HAPPIER THE MORE THAT I WROTE. IT WAS MY CATHARSIS—IT WAS MY OUTLET.” — SHARON VAN ETTEN »buzz: Does all the traveling weigh a lot on you? »SVE: Yeah, it’s just a balance. I love touring, I love playing music, I love my band, we have great fans, the venues we play are really cool. They’re clubs I would go to myself or do already. The only hard thing is just being away from home and not having a home a lot. That’s something I’m figuring out, just feeling
scattered and not really having any roots anywhere. Other than that, it’s just figuring out that balance. »buzz: You’ve really grown as a musician over the past couple years, mentioning you now have a band. What’s the difference between now and before when you were a solo artist? »SVE: I like to let things grow pretty naturally. When I recorded my first record, I wasn’t ready for a band. I was still playing solo and I thought, “This is kind of a minimal record, and I don’t want to have a band because on the record I can only afford to support myself on the road.” I only brought people on as I knew I could afford them and then as I flushed out the sounds and learned how to communicate with my band, we’ve grown to five people now. I went from solo to a trio to a four-piece to a five-piece. It’s fun, but it’s a little overwhelming to see that I’m doing this as a career, and it’s very trippy. »buzz: Did you ever think you would get to this point? »SVE: No way; I was playing open mics for like, five wasted cowboys (laughs). I write songs for myself, and I never thought in a million years anyone would want to hear them. »buzz: Did you have a lot of rough shows starting out? »SVE: Of course! Oh my gosh, for years. I’m 33 right now, and I’m only beginning to be able to do this full time. »buzz: How did you push yourself through times like that? »SVE: Because I knew that I felt better and I knew that there was somebody listening, even if you’re playing to a bar full of people hanging out not there to see you play. You have to remind yourself why you’re doing it. I’m doing this for me and if people are into it, great. If I didn’t grow in audiences, I’d still probably be playing open mics and local venues. I think it’s therapeutic for me. I’m very lucky that

my audience has grown and that I can travel with it, but if it didn’t, I would probably still be doing that. »buzz: Have you been making music all these years for therapeutic purposes or to have fun? »SVE: It’s just morphed over the years. It’s growing what it means to me. Before, I really didn’t know what I was doing. I felt the urge to sing and play and record it. I would listen back to it and write lyrics, and I would analyze myself and just say, “woah, I had no idea I was going through that. I’m glad I’m past it.” I didn’t really connect that mess or how it affected me, but I realized I was happier and happier the more that I wrote. It was my catharsis—it was my outlet. I was able to compartmentalize those dark feelings and put them into songs. That was just my way of going to New York and playing these open mics and eventually I got asked to open for bands. I was doing that for me. I was like, “OK, people care about this, that’s cool!” I was meeting people and then over the course of 10 years, it’s turned into this. I don’t know what happened (laughs). »buzz: You mentioned the move to New York. What made you put your foot down and say, “I have to go do this”? »SVE: It was when I realized I was being offered all these tours, and I wasn’t doing it as a job. I was
working at a record label at the time, and I had to move from New Jersey, where my parents live, to give music a shot. I was working at a wine store part time, and I was interning at a label. I eventually quit the wine job and worked full time at the label, but then I started playing more shows and being asked to tour. Then I was gone half the time, and I then I just felt I needed to chose one that I was good at because I felt like one fell by the wayside. I couldn’t do that good of a job at the label because I was traveling so much, so I talked to Ben Goldberg who runs Ba Da Bing! Records. He’s the one who took me under his wing, hired me, taught me how to do publicity and learn some management. We had a talk and he was like, “I think you should tour. It’s beginning to be too much, and I’ll help you do that.” I toured full time and I had to let that job go, which I hated to do because I love that whole crew, but I also knew that I had to give it a chance. Check out the full interview with Sharon Van Etten on this week’s buzz Talks podcast on readbuzz.com Sharon Van Etten will be performing Tuesday, Oct. 14 at the HighDive in downtown Champaign with Tiny Ruins. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and the show costs $15 in advance or $17 at the door. October 10-16, 2014 buzz 7

ENORMOUS ELECTRONICA Big Gigantic Returns to Canopy Club BY AMRIT SINGH

ased out of Boulder, Co., Jeremy Salken and Dominic Lalli make up the sensational live electronic music duo Big Gigantic. As they grow in popularity, they continue to maintain and develop their unique electronic, jazzy funk sound. With the release of their new album, The Night Is Young, earlier this year, the duo has seen steady growth in their already deep and loyal fan base. buzz had the chance to catch up with drummer Jeremy Salken, who had some things to say about Big Gigantic’s recent show, their annual Rowdy Town event and their upcoming performance at Canopy Club on Sunday, Oct. 12. »buzz: You recently put on your annual show, Rowdy Town, at Red Rocks Stadium. How was that experience this year? »Jeremy Salken: Oh man, it was great. We sold out both days and overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better time. »buzz: The interesting thing about your light show at Red Rocks is you not only have your regular light set, but you guys actually project another light show onto the stadium itself. »JS: Yeah, man, it actually started as a mess! This was our third year putting on the show, and we were having some troubles initially with the lighting. The second year we did it, we brought in some higher quality lights to make the show better, but this year when we got there, the Red Rocks people had put up two giant poles that made it kind of a
8 buzz October 10-16, 2014
problem to set up our lights. We ended up bringing two cranes in to set the lights on, but that didn’t end up working either. We almost thought that we wouldn’t be able to make the light show happen, but luckily we were able to put it together the day before the show. »buzz: So you were trying to get the light situation figured out while rehearsing? Do you think it affected or got in the way of you guys being able to practice? »JS: No, it wasn’t too bad. Occasionally, I had to take breaks from rehearsal to take care of the lighting issues, but me and Dom have been doing this since we were little. The music always comes first. »buzz: Red Rocks definitely has to be a different experience, as a performer. How does that experience differ as opposed to smaller venues or festivals? »JS: It’s got a different vibe to it, definitely. The stadium goes upward towards the back, so it’s cool to the see all the fans. The stadium is beautiful, too; it’s just a great experience overall. Also, we tried to make both days a different experience. We wanted the fans to have something unique and, if they came to both days, they’d get to hear something new. Naturally, some of the stuff we played was the same, but we did our best to mix it up and give our fans something they hadn’t heard before. »buzz: You released your album The Night Is Young in February this year. How do you feel things have changed since then?
»JS: I really think our fan base has grown this year. We’ve just been doing what we always do, and it’s cool watching things grow. »buzz: You guys tour quite a bit. Do you have a favorite spot? »JS: We definitely have a soft spot for Canopy (Club). It’s always such an intimate experience. Over the years we’ve gotten to know Ian Goldberg really well. He’s the guy (who) owns canopy and actually runs the Summer Camp Festival. It usually sells out, and the fans are great.
“WE DEFINITELY HAVE A SOFT SPOT FOR CANOPY (CLUB). IT’S ALWAYS SUCH AN INTIMATE EXPERIENCE.” —JEREMY SALKEN »buzz: I’m sure people are curious: What kind of music does Big Gigantic listen to in their downtime? »JS: Well personally, I listen to a little bit of everything. It really depends on the day, like sometimes I’ll wake up and just feel like listening to the Beatles all day. Other times it’s Radiohead, Phish, hip-hop—anything really. If I’m in that funk mood I’ll put on some Herbie Hancock. I think it’s important to get a wide taste of all music. Plus, as the fanbase is growing, we try to push our fans, especially with the new album. Listen to music
that broadens things and push the boundaries of what they listen to. »buzz: It’s so important to listen to a wide range of music. What music have you been listening to most recently? »JS: After Rowdy Town I’ve been chilling, not listening to much, but I think most recently I’ve started listening to the new alt-J album, which is pretty good. If you haven’t heard of them, definitely check them out. »buzz: Tour has to be exhausting. What do you do on your downtime when your back home? »JS: I like hiking. It’s fun, and there’s plenty of it to do in Colorado. It’s beautiful. I’ll try and snowboard too, but usually we’re on tour during the season. Touring is definitely exhausting, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. The fans come out and show love, and there’s nothing I’d rather be doing. »buzz: What does the future hold for Big Gigantic? Any upcoming projects or shows? »JS: Well, we’re beginning our tour right now and kicking that off. I know Dom’s working on some new music, and hopefully we’ll be putting out an EP early next year. In terms of shows, we have something big planned for New Years, but that’s still a secret. Catch Big Gigantic performing at Canopy Club on Sunday, Oct. 12. The show costs $25 in advance and $27 at the door.

“GERMAN”AITING GOOD TIMES... AND BEER CU’s Oktoberfest is back for its second annual celebration BY LOLA GARCIA

et ready to wear your best dirndl or lederhosen this Saturday, Oct. 11, in honor of the Second Annual CU Oktoberfest celebration. The event is a fall celebration of music, beer and food held in downtown Champaign from 3 p.m. until midnight. Admission is $5 per person, and all proceeds from the event will benefit the Developmental Service Center, an organization that enhances the lives of individuals with disabilities, by providing services and support to get them involved within the community. Event Coordinator and Director of DSC, Janice McAteer, said that there is an estimated 5,000

people attending this year’s event, surpassing the previous celebration’s attendance. “We are eager for people to enjoy the improvements we have made, including more lines of distribution for food and beverage, kids’ activities and dance lessons. Oktoberfest is a time for the community to come together and celebrate through fun and fellowship,” McAteer said. Oktoberfest is formatted after the annual festival in Bavaria, Germany. The founding of the original event is credited to King Ludwig and his wife, Therese, in October of 1810. CU’s version
of the fest will present live music from bands playing festive polkas, waltzes and traditional music. Kids will have the opportunity to enjoy face-painting and balloon-making. Polka is a Central European lively dance origin in duple time. Attendees are able to learn the basics of polka from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. with the help of David Lin from the Regent Ballroom and then show the moves they learned on the dance floor from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., when “The Polkaholics” from Chicago perform. Waltzes are smooth, progressive ballroom triple-time dances. There were will be waltz performances from the “Die Musikmeisters” between 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and the event will close with the performance of the “Midnight Bolzen Beer Band.” McAteer said that the line-up is guaranteed to have attendees dancing the night away. And what’s a party without beverages? Beer from local brewers, including The Blind Pig, JT Walker’s, Destihl and Triptych, will be served at the event. Souvenir logo steins are available for purchase; they will provide attendees with an additional three ounces of beer in every cup. But before the drinking begins, Mayor Don Gerard has to tap the keg and call out “O’zapft is!” which is German for “the keg
has been tapped,” a tradition that has been followed since the ’50s in Germany. There will also be a special brewed CU Oktoberfest “bier” produced from a collaboration of local brewers that will be unveiled the night of the event. White Horse Inn and Chester’s BBQ will sell a variety of food during the event, including 1,000 pounds of authentic Oktoberfest sausages, sauerkraut, German potato salad, schnitzel, kroketten and baked goods. CU’s Oktoberfest celebration is a chance for locals to experience a foreign culture or celebrate their German roots, all while having a great time and giving to a worthy cause. The celebration is a good time for people of all ages. There will also be Oktoberfest novelties to purchase, which include traditional Oktoberfest Bavarian hats, t-shirts and necklaces. The event is under tent, meaning that whether the days holds rain or shine, the CU community will celebrate. Be sure to raise a stein, move your feet and celebrate a time-honored, German—and now, local— celebration with family and friends at CU’s Second Annual Oktoberfest in downtown Champaign.

As part of the Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 Shocktober festival, cult classic Reanimator graces the silver screen once more. Medical student Herbert West chances upon a means of turning dead body tissue alive again, and shows his findings to fellow med student Dan Cain. The two are thrown out of their university for sounding too mad, and in a fit of vengeance, they unleash their solution on several dead bodies, turning them into horrifying zombies. When another doctor blackmails the two into taking the credit for the discovery, all bets are off in a battle of reanimated minions to the death. Turning the terrifying H.P. Lovecraft story into a pulpy conconction of equal parts horror, gore, and hilarity, Reanimator will send you home laughing, crying and more than a little disturbed.
