Cabs are here!!!!
It's T-Shirt Time!!!
GTL and MVP
These are just a few of my favorite Jersey Shore moments. Why is this show so addicting! Every week I tune in and laugh at the unbelievable crazy tanned and hair-sprayed characters.
Now CAB is holding its very own Jersey Shore at the IMU! You go dressed as your favorite character from the show because there is a look-a-like contest!!! Great Prizes for winner I'm sure... maybe some free tanning sessions?? HAHA! How cute would it be if a couple came as the Jenny/Ronnie couple (too bad they are broken up, maybe the fake couple will have better luck)
There will be a crazy DJ dropping some awesome fist-pumping beats that you can mosh to because there it is gonna be a highlighter party!!! AHHHHH!!
And everyone loves free stuff so at the part you can make some sweet shutter shades (Oh Yeah) and your very own T-shirt (Oh Yeah) They do work at a T-shirt store and Spring is right around the corner so you can show off your sweet digs.
To get you in the real Spring/Summer mood there is going to be a smoothie bar!!!! And free food of course (did you even have to ask?)
So stop by and win big for a study break at the IMU at 10pm because things are going to get craaazzzyyyyy. :)

CAB Comedy Fridays: Cash Cab's Ben Bailey
Have you ever ridden in a cab? (Probably)
Have you ever gotten kicked out of a cab? (Hopefully Not)
Have you ever gotten kicked out of a cab for not answering questions correctly? (No Way!)
That's what I thought. Me neither.
However, Ben Bailey has never had a problem kicking people out of his taxicab on his TV show, Cash Cab. I love watching people win and lose hundreds of dollars. Makes me smile. (Is that wrong?)
And now the amazing campus activities board is bringing the crazy handsome Ben Bailey here! To the University of Iowa! (The IMU Main Lounge to be exact.) On Friday February 18 I will be front row center for his comedy show laughing so hard I will probably cry.
And how much is this night going to cost me? Nothing of course but this show will be priceless so get there earlier than 10pm for a great seat (Doors open at 9:30 pm). I can even bring all my friends (non UI students too) and they will worship me :) Once again... priceless!
Why should you go? Even if you don't know who he is... he is famous and how often do you get to meet a famous person? And for free! Not that often if you ask me.
Want a bit of a preview? Check out his stand up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WT6tB6U_uc

Variety & Entertainment: Casino Night
Do you know what the temperature is in Vegas right now?
No?
Well it's a heck of a lot better than it is here. That's for sure! :P
Though we can't all go to Vegas in the middle of the semester (unfortunately), you could still be a part of some Vegas action here in IOWA CITY!
That's right, the amazing Campus Activities Board has organized a casino night to bring us a taste of that glamorous Nevada city.
Sooo get ready for a (drumroll please) night in the IMU, surrounded by a variety of tables of poker, blackjack and roulette (my favorite)!!!!
Wait a minute now...there's more!
Don't care about waiting around to play games? Well maybe the word IPAD will peak your interest!
Yes you read that right!!! There's a chance to win an IPAD at this FREE event!! There will also be a variety of other prizes like a $100 Walmart giftcard , watches and other gifts from local businesses.
Still not interested? What about the drag queens?! They will definitely raise your spirits after taking any quizzes and exams or even after some Valentine's day drama.
If you, like me, are already getting excited for this night then be sure to be there on Thursday, February 17 in the Main lounge of the IMU at 10 pm!! With your friends of course! :)
P.S. Are you an Elvis fan? While CAB may not be able to bring you the real thing, everyone should have a picture with his impersonator at least to be able to show it off on facebook! ;) Real thing or not, he's still a hunka' hunka' burnin' love.

CAB NightHawks: Speed Dating
OMG I don't think anyone realizes how deep my love for CAB goes! And now CAB is trying help me find a new love at SPEED DATING. A chance to find a valentine in time for Valentine's Day would be perfect. I know there is a guy out there looking for me, and me for him :) Not only are there "dating" tables to find your love, but there are "friendship" tables because I need a few more facebook friends (I'm on the short side).
What goes better with finding a guy than chocolate. Chocolate fountains are my favorite because you can dip and even just fill up a cup of chocolate. (It's better than it sounds.)
But even if I don't find my true love... I AM GOING TO MAKE A CUDDLY SOFT STUFFED ANIMAL! I know that little guy will be there to cuddle and love me every day and night :D
Did I mention this was all free?? Yes because that is how awesome CAB is (hehe). So come see me on Friday at 10pm at the IMU 2nd floor ballroom (especially if you are a guy) and we can have a chat, and maybe get a bite at the chocolate fountain (especially if you are a guy) :D
Can't wait to see you there! (especially if you are a guy) .

An Interview with Member of the Week Tim Unkenholz (Comedy)
What's your favorite piece of furniture?
There's a lazy boy chair at my parent's house that I'm really looking forward to once again be primarily living in for the next month or so. I've missed a lot of lame high school get-togethers sitting in that chair....
I also like ottomans in general. I don't really like the ottoman in my apartment though, it's a little too short for the chair that goes with it. I think I just like the word ottoman. It's a very comfortable sounding word.
Ketchup or Mustard?
Ketchup all the way. I think that any food that is yellow looks unhealthy (with the exception of bananas, which are of course delicious and at one point used to be green).
What's your favorite cartoon from your childhood?
Any of the 90's cartoons that featured a group of brothers who somehow got mutated into anthropomorphic crime fighting animals. I think Ninja Turtles started that whole craze, but I also watched Street Sharks and Biker Mice from Mars.
Also, I just realized how hilarious Winnie the Pooh is.
Hoodies or Zip-Ups?
Here's the thing on the sweater situation CAB, I think I might be some sort of cold-blooded mammal. I have a really hard time regulating my body temperature. I get super hot whenever I'm doing any sort of physical activity, and I sweat profusely (which is why I play basketball shirtless because nobody wants to guard the sweaty guy). At the same time one glass of really cold water makes me shiver uncontrollably. So I go zip-up because it's easier to manage when my body temperature changes.
I have a really nice blue zip-up I wear all the time when I go out and stuff but I don't want to ruin it when I'm at my apartment. I wear this old, grey, stretched out New York hoody around the apartment and occasionally when I make trips to Wal-mart at 3 am to get Oreos. I do love my New York hoody and my blue zip-up equally though. So now you know that whole thing. I’m loving these questions…
What's the best concert you've ever been to?
Probably either the Man Man show I went to a couple years ago or the Fang Island show I went to this past summer. I highly recommend you buy both bands' albums, and you should see them both live before you die!
If you could have any superpower which would you choose?
If we're picking from like the typical superpowers people normally choose from when they answer this sort of question I'd like to be able to multiply myself so I could get more stuff done.
But really I've always wanted to be part of some X-Men-like team and be this guy who's unfortunate mutation is that he just farts unbearably loud. Like I'd have no practical use for the team really, but I'd still have a costume for some reason…does anyone really read this?
What's your favorite (non-Facebook) website?
avclub.com. I'm usually on there at least 10 times a day. Also, my brother and I compose music for eachother on this crappy site called noteflight.com. He's back in Maryland and I usually write him a silly song every week on there and send it to him through Facebook.
Are you pro-Justin Bieber or anti-Justin Bieber?
Pro or against him? I didn't realize there was an ordinance to ban Justin Bieber. I don't particularly like him but I don't want him to be abolished if that's what you’re asking.
The only time I resented Justin Bieber was when this awful open mic host in Cedar Rapids made a joke that I look like him. First off that's a real stretch I think. When I was 16 I looked like a pimply faced piece of crap. Also, the truckers in Cedar Rapids hit on me enough, I don't need to be compared to a 16 year old boy in front of them.
What's on your perfect pizza?
Another pizza! If someone's already made that joke, then I'm going to quit comedy forever.

“I don’t want to be a part of any club that would have me as a member”- Groucho Marx

CAB Roads: Mall of America
Not gonna lie, I love to shop. It's one of the joys of life... and ever since I discovered online shopping, I have gotten worse. However here is a chance to go to the Mall of America (the largest mall in America!). So of course I jumped at the chance.
Mall of America (located in Minnesota) is a real treat. If you haven't gone yet you must. I have gone for years with my family. Not only is it an awesome mall but it also has an indoor amusement park with a pretty sweet, not whimpy, rollar coaster :) Snoopy (yes that big white dog) is also there and it is a must to get a picture with him. Legoland is also there. Yes I still own legos, who doesn't?
I am not even going to mention the amazing resturants like Hooters and Bubba Gump and tons of others.
So really what better is there to do with your Saturday (Dec 4th)? I am going shopping either way so I may as well take advantage of this exciting trip! CAB is amazing for bussing me there and back for only $15. And did I mention you also get a ticket to the huge indoor aquatic center?!?!? Sure 6:30 (am) comes early but for sure I will be sleeping on the bus :)
Don't forget Christmas is right about the corner and at the MALL OF AMERICA I am sure you will be able to find something for everyone on your list.
