Wisco festival offers local talent

Alex Vargo • March 15, 2018

There’s only a few days left until spring break, and you’re almost there! Before you head out to your vaction destination, whether it’s a beach or a couch, take some advice from Dean of Students Art Munin and Advance-Titan cartoonist Lee Marshall. How do you stay motivated the week before break? ART: Keep moving. Winter can make you lethargic. You have to get to the rec, you have to get outside, get moving. Keep your body in motion so you can keep your mind in motion. LEE: I stay motivated by thinking about how many people will probably reject me while I’m on spring break. What are some ways to stay entertained on a long car ride? ART: I need to be entertained in a lot of car rides, so I listen to a lot of podcasts. My favorite right now is called West wing weekly. Also listening to music, I always have my personal playlist on a constant spin. LEE: Make faces at the other people driving by. I do it all the time and the reactions are well worth it. How to handle an exam the week after spring break? ART: Of course, I would be studying diligently on my spring break, or I would plead with my professor for flexibility. LEE: You'll be fine. If you fail, you should just be thankful that you even had an exam that you could fail. A lot of kids don’t even get the opportunity to have an exam that they can potentially fail. Best spring break destination(s)? ART: My spring break destinations right now are either a couch or a la-z-boy. The only other one is, now that it’s finally getting warmer out, getting outside and taking a hike. LEE: Anywhere where the girls rate me higher than a 3. Probably Arkansas or Alabama. Some tips for when you're out on the beach? ART: Plan ahead, plan for your sunscreen, drink enough water, stay hydrated and have a blast. LEE: Keep an eye out for people passed out, then use sunscreen to draw phallic symbols on him so that by the time they wakes up there will be a sunburnt imprint of whatever you drew. What's in your beach bag? ART: In my beach bag is all of my kid’s garbage. All of their goggles, toys, and stuff like that. At this stage of my life, i’m not allowed to have things myself, it's just their things that i'm in charge of. LEE: A couple beers, sunscreen and probably a picture of Jesus to watch over me. How to deal with sharing a small hotel room with a group of friends? ART: I wouldn't, I would not share a small hotel room with my friends. I would deal with that by finding another hotel and having them let me know when it’s time for dinner. LEE: Sleep naked. You’ll get a bed to yourself. Any other tips to make sure you come back alive/ not in jail? ART: Just imagine what you do will be on the front page of the newspaper and your grandmother will read it. LEE: Nah. You’re probably going to die or go to jail.

The Bar: The bar is pretty far from campus, so sadly you won’t be able to stumble home on foot after a dozen wings and even more beers. However, you can’t argue with solid quality wings and drink deals. The only downside is that, despite having over 20 unique sauces to choose from, they don't toss their bone-in wings in the sauce for you, you’ll have to dip them yourself. This becomes a problem when balancing sauce to wing ratio, but they’re crispy and only 50 cents a piece from Sunday to Tuesday, so if you have a DD, give them a try. Molly Mcguire’s Yes, Mollys serves wings, not just liquid. Well, on Mondays, they probably serve an equal amount of both. Along with some monster sized chicken wings and drumsticks for only 25 cents, they also offer 25 cent tap beer, usually served via trays of 20. So don’t worry, you definitely won’t get thirsty when you’re mowing down some rotisserie sized wings. Luckily, Molly’s is located right next to campus, so you won’t need to go far to spice up your Monday’s! The Varsity Club For those who don’t like to sit still, Varsity is the place for wings. You can’t go wrong with a huge pool hall along with 25 cent wings on Tuesdays along with dollar burgers on Mondays. There is a one drink minimum if you want the wing deal, but hey, most plan on having many more than one drink, so it works out. The wings aren’t anything special, smallish size with 5 sauces to choose from, but the entertainment makes it a good spot for a group to grab some food and drinks early in the week. Ruby Owl Tap Room Ruby Owl bucks the trend of wings and brews by offering whiskey and wing wednesdays, 25 cent wings along with discounted whiskey flights from 3:00 p.m. to close. The wings aren’t groundbreaking, pretty average size and taste, but the whiskey flights make for good nights. The atmosphere is going to be a little higher class though, so maybe consider moving on to another pub later in the evening if you feel the need to drink more whiskey and eat less chicken wings.
