I work with an incred-ible staff at buzz. This is obvious to the most ca-sual reader but damn, it bears written recogni-tion once or twice in a blue moon. The writ-ers and editors at this magazine consistently kill it, though this week

in particular they left me fl oored.Melisa and Eli cranked out three video inter-

views with the summer artists in residence at Figure One, Christine held a thought-provoking discussion with esteemed music critic Jessica Hopper and Josh wrote one of the most heart-felt album reviews I’ve ever read, which was less a review and more a reflection on out-growing the things that, at one point in time, we loved the most.

And like any powerful piece of writing, his reflections inspired my own. So as played out as it might sound, I’ve been thinking about the things I used to love. The progression from obsessive fondness to unfeeling or (at best) nostalgic distance happens so naturally that it often goes unnoticed until long after the fact. Earlier this week, I played a song that I adored as a teenager, a song that I was emotionally and almost spiritually bound to for years. I still knew ever lyric and inhale, could pinpoint each chord change, yet I felt nothing.

This is, in the grand scheme of things, just one song by one band. But my ability to say and believe that shows how much I’ve distanced myself from it; four years ago, that song was an essential part of who I was.

I think this is categorized as “maturing;” I also think this categorization is lacking something. Getting older is one thing, but moving beyond the mediums by which you understood your identity is something else. People anecdotally spout that “tastes change but people stay the same” – but that’s not actually true, is it? The part of myself that interpreted life through the lyrics by Bob Nanna has been gradually erased. That’s life, and though it’s probably a good thing that I now am disconnected from brooding emo songs, it’s sad.

This is an uncomfortable but necessary topic for 20-somethings to navigate, and I’m happy to work with people who inspire me to do that.

CALLING ALL VINYL LOVERS

BILLIE SCHAUB AND JESSICA PETERSON

THIS weekend, the Illinois Radio Reader is having its largest fundraiser of the year,

the 22nd annual Vintage Vinyl Sale. The event will take place at the Fluid Event Center at 601 N. Country Fair Drive in Champaign. Vintage vinyl from all genres will be sold for $1 - exclud-ing collectors’ items. On top of records and CDs, electronics, including record players, speakers and CD players, will also be sold for $10 and up. All proceeds will go towards maintaining WILL FM, which is housed on campus in Campbell Hall for Public Telecommunication. One of the ser-vices provided by WILL FM is the Illinois Radio Reader, which has served the visually-impaired for decades.

The Illinois Radio Reader, part of Illinois Pub-lic Media, is a free radio station for the visually impaired. Over 500 listeners tune in to listen to the over 80 hours of programing each week. The station reads books, newspapers, specialty shows and magazines over the airwaves each week. In an age when news, books and magazines are so eas-ily available because of smartphones and tablets, it’s easy to take for granted always being in the know. Those that are visually impaired don’t have that luxury, and for those that live alone, are on the go or don’t have anyone to read to them, this program allows them another way to maintain their self-sufficiency. IRR also has weekly pod-casts on news, agriculture and much more. The radio station must be reached with a special re-

ceiver; however, all visually impaired listeners are entitled to a free receiver upon calling the station.

The Vintage Vinyl Sale is a vital fundraiser for the station, and volunteers like Jim De Venter work hard to ensure it runs smoothly.

De Venter, a retired instrument maker, and his wife have been volunteering with the Vintage Vi-nyl Sale for the past 10 years. When discussing his charity work, De Venter exemplifies the energy of a true charity enthusiast.

As he reminisces about his father’s purchase of their family’s first turn table in the 50s, De Ven-ter’s prolonged love of anything from the Beatles to Madonna shines through.

“I’ve always liked my music,” De Venter said. This passion for music in combination with his

willingness to work hard for a good cause makes De Venter the perfect representative for the lim-ited few who are helping with the sale. Without a volunteer under the age of 65, the collecting, sorting and moving of the vinyl proves to be a time consuming and arduous task. The tight knit group spends their hours chatting and laughing as they sort through the donations. They find comfort in the knowledge that their efforts will not be in vain, as the sale is known to be a suc-cess, generating up to $12,000 in the past. The proceeds earned go towards subscriptions for content and equipment maintenance.

Although it’s tiring work, the tenacity of these music-lovers has not been eroded by time.


But simplicity can be diffi cult. That’s why we offer a smaller menu that’s designed to make coffee fans of all walks of life happy. We use multiple brewing styles and years of experience to bring you something different.

“I’m 89 years old,” said Pat Sheppard, a re-turning volunteer. “I’ve been doing this for many years, and I love doing it. It’s a great organiza-tion, so I keep coming back.”

Although all the volunteers want to be as much of a help as they can, the stamina to carry these heavy loads for hours on end has become more of a challenge for older volunteers as time has gone by.

“We are overwhelmed with donations,” said Kathie Spegal, the event coordinator. “We need all the volunteers we can get.”

For those who are on the hunt for a rare album, an old favorite or just want to get there early, the premium sale is from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The premium sale requires a $5 entry fee. After 11 a.m., there is no entry fee for the sale until it closes at 6 p.m. Credit or debit cards are not accepted, so all vinyl lovers should be sure to have cash on them for the sale.

The stacks of records, many of which are old-er than the average college student, are in the market for a new home. The gently-used vinyl is looking to move outside of the cardboard boxes they’ve been living in at the warehouse and before that, forgotten in someone’s attic or basement. Whether it’s one record or ten, any purchase at the Vintage Vinyl sale will go a long way to help Central Illinois’ visually impaired.

If you are interested in volunteering or would like to learn more about the Vintage Vinyl Sale, email Kathie Spegal at [email protected]. Donations are closed for this year’s sale, but the Vintage Vinyl Sale will return again in 2016.

The Vintage Vinyl sale will take place this Saturday, October 3 at the Fluid Event Center (601 N. Country Fair Dr., Champaign). The premium sale begins at 8 a.m and ends at 11 a.m and requires a $5 entry fee. No entry fee from 11 a.m to 6 p.m. All proceeds from the sale benefit the Illinois Radio Reader.


A CAR SHOW SURE TO SPICE UP YOUR WEEKENDCHRISTINA COMO

THE smell of chicken and barbeque fi lled the air, the cries of children mixed with

laughter and chatter made it hard to hear and the main room of the building was packed with brightly colored cars of all styles at last year’s Hot Wings and Hot Rods car show. It was an opportunity for the community to gather in shared appreciation of spicy wings and cool cars, and this year everyone can once again celebrate hot wings and hot rods.

The Fluid Event Center and Sundowners Car Club are hosting the second annual Hot Wings and Hot Rods show on October 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Fluid Event Center. The event will include a classic car show, a hot wing cook-off, a hot wing eating contest and a hottest wing-eating contest in order to honor all aspects of these two categories.

“We always wanted to do a car show and to try putting two fun things together,” CEO of Fluid Events Center Jeff Grant said. “We already

do the Blues, Brews and Barbeque, chili used to happen and we wanted something that hasn’t been done yet in town. Buffalo Wild Wings is pretty big, so figured we would try them.”

As the last car show of the season, it will be held indoors. Plenty of food and entertainment beyond the cars and wings will also be available for attend-ees. There will be vendors from local businesses selling local crafted brews, treats and barbeque. Vendors include Crowridge Farm Ice Cream, Main Street Wingery, Gracie’s Grille, Smokey’s House BBQ, Chester’s BBQ and Buds BBQ. Local bands The Bashful Youngens, New Riders of the Golden Maize and Cody Lee will be playing sets throughout the event as well for people to watch and listen to.

“I like cars, but I’m not a car fanatic,” Grant said. “Me personally, I don’t do a lot of car shows. Sun-downers Car Club hosts a show every weekend, but this is the third or fourth time that I’ve been

involved in a car show. For anybody that comes into this car show that’s not an enthusiast, it just gets your gears turning, and you get to see what other people’s hobbies are,” Grant said.

Grant is expecting this year’s Hot Wings and Hot Rods to be a much larger event than it was the fi rst time around. While last year’s attendance was about 1,500 people and only about fi ve or six wing cook-off participants, this year there are well over 200 vehicles in the car show and a dozen contes-tants in the hot wing cook-off, according to Grant.

“The cars range in price from $15,000 to $200,000,” said Rich Rutherford, Vice Presi-dent of the Sundowners Car Club. “They vary in engine size, tires, interiors and paint jobs. We’ll have close to 80 cars inside the buildings and up to 30 more outside.”

One room will contain eight high-profi le, top-of-the line cars that collectively boast one million

dollars in value, according to Rutherford. “I’ve invited certain cars to be in that room,”

Rutherford said. Fluid Event Center is located at 601 N. Country

Fair Dr., Champaign, IL. Doors open to the gen-eral public at 11:30 a.m. Car registration opens at 10:30 a.m. and ends at 1 p.m. Voting for the wing contests will occur from 2 – 4 p.m., and the Sun-downers Car Club Car Show Awards Presenta-tion, which involves top 10 awards with specialty trophies, begins at 4:30 p.m.

RESTAURANT REVIEWTONY GAO

FOR the past decade, residents and stu-dents of Champaign-Urbana have had

a wide variety of delicious Asian restaurants to choose from. Whether you’re in the mood for Chinese, Korean or Indian, C-U has a place for just about everything and everyone.

Riding off the success of Asian restaurants and dessert shops like Milk Tea House, Koto Ra-men and ChaTime, Spicy Tang opened its doors in late summer 2015. Hoping to be a standout restaurant specializing in the popular Chinese hot pot, does Spicy Tang stand toe-to-toe with on-campus Asian restaurant favorites Cravings, Bangkok Thai and A-Ri-Rang?

Walking in, one will notice that Spicy Tang’s decor is extremely similar to Koto Ramen’s. With a mix-ture of wooden and oriental styled furniture, Spicy Tang certainly gives off a feeling of modern Asia.

The restaurant itself is fairly quiet. Coming in at 11:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., the restaurant

was completely empty besides the owner and employees sitting around a table. Once step-ping in, however, the owner and employees im-mediately ran to position back into the kitchen, behind the counter or to greet.

Ordering comes pretty straightforward. Essen-tially, you get a line up of meats and vegetables to choose from, and they will throw it in their “Spicy Tang” (spicy soup) hot pot. Meats range anywhere from lunch meat to sliced beef to fi sh cake and will run you $2 per meat. Vegetables ranging from spinach to bok choy will run you $1 per vegetable. As you are choosing your options, each item gets thrown into a metal bowl. Something I noticed both times I have ordered was that as you add more op-tions to your bowl, the portion of each gets smaller. This was a bit disappointing to me as I still had to pay $1 for about three spinach leaves versus hav-ing a heaping serving of mushrooms thrown in for the same cost. Rice is also an extra dollar and is

highly recommended given the spiciness of the soup. In total it cost around $11 for an order of fi sh cakes, beef meatballs, slices of beef, mushrooms, spinach, tofu and rice - a bit pricey given how small and cheap the actual portions are.

The wait for the food was also rather annoying. Despite being the only customer being served, the food still took over 15 minutes to get to the table. What bothered me even more was that during my second visit, I noticed one of the workers pick out his ingredients, go into the back of the kitchen and come out fi ve minutes later with his meal fully cooked and ready to eat - something you certainly do not want to see while waiting.

Either poured over rice or served with noodles, I would highly recommend eating this with a carb to absorb some of the spice. In terms of actual taste, Spicy Tang excels at the one thing promised in their name. Spicy. As a person who is pretty tol-erant of spicy food and in love with Sze Chuan cui-

sine, the soup hits you with an explosion of spice only to be followed up with a feeling of numbness. Unfortunately, this is pretty much all Spicy Tang excels at. The actual meat and vegetables were fairly bland in taste, and the vegetables were in-credibly mushy while the meat you could tell was store bought. I would have really loved to see a bit more complexity within the dish, such as a sweet or savory fusion to the solely spicy dish.

Overall, I think Spicy Tang has a ton of room left to grow at both the management and food end of things and ultimately falls short compared to other Asian restaurant competitors. With hot pots being one of the few not fully utilized restaurant concepts in Champaign-Urbana, it breaks my heart to see Spicy Tang cut corners by using ingredients that one could easily fi nd at AMKO and Far East Market for just a fraction of the cost. I am hope-ful that Spicy Tang will soon realize this and make adjustments sooner rather than later.

VISIBILITY: THE ABILITY TO SEE OR BE SEENATOOSA SAYEH

AFRICAN-Americans have had a long histo-ry of struggle, and an equally long

history of needing to legitimize that struggle to oth-ers. We see this today through social media, police reports and even on campus. Numerous people have tried to make this struggle visible through the use of video, hashtags and rallies. Some have turned to art to bring social injustices to light.

To make the invisible visible, artist Rick Lewis has brought his art exhibit (In)Visible Men to the Murphy Gallery of the University YMCA as part of the Art at the Y program. The exhibit displays por-traits of young African-American male students from Illinois State University, drawn by Lewis. The portraits encourage viewers to examine what they are thinking about while in the exhibit.

“These paintings are forcing people to look at these individuals as humans,” Lewis said. “It’s really asking the viewer to ask themselves about the assumptions they are making about the person in the painting and why they are making those assumptions.”

Lewis attended Illinois State University and at-tained an MFA in 1987; he is currently the Associ-

ate Dean of Students there. He says he stopped painting in 1995 but started again two years ago after the stories he heard as an adviser for an ISU student organization, My Brotha’s Keeper.

“In this work I get the chance to be exposed to some of the issues and challenges our African-American males face here,” Lewis said. “You learn the stories about some of the discrimina-tions and racism they experience in their home and on campus.”

Lewis said he wants to help bring these issues to light by using his art “to challenge students to not look at these figures through that lens of stereotypes or assumptions.”

Lewis said for his project he picked models whom he had connections with from My Brotha’s Keeper. He looked for characteristics that he thought would work for his painting. Things like “body posture, skin complexion, the person’s hair or something he’s wearing that day,” inspired him to challenge social norms surrounding these different charac-teristics. None of the models are wearing clothing with brands or symbols, and each portrait has a biography of the subject next to it.

Lewis’ goal is to complete 20 portraits of 20 young males to fi ll a space to make people constantly en-gaged in the process of viewing the subjects.

“We need to pay attention with how we engage with each other in real life… sometimes we don’t engage with each other because of our inability to have conversations, because we’re staring at our smartphones,” Lewis said. “So this is one of those opportunities where you’re asked to look up from your phone and look a person in the eye and think about who you’re looking at.”

Lewis said most of the subjects’ experiences have been that people don’t look them in the eye and don’t choose them for class projects. Lewis said those types of situations create an unfriendly and often oppressive environment for people of color, who are discouraged from expressing them-selves or their opinions.

At his fi rst showing of the exhibit, Lewis had the models stand next to their portraits to make the space interactive. Lewis said this allowed for meaningful dialogues between the viewer and the subject.

“It was interesting watching the dynamics of

males from different urban environments engage in conversations with privileged populations,” Lewis said. “And how these two different social groups can have a dialogue that transcends some of the issues that we see across social media today in terms of how people see African-American males.”

So far Lewis has had his exhibit shown at four different locations and has received positive responses from his audience.

Lewis opened his exhibit at the YMCA on Sep-tember 17 and talked to his audience about his idea of art being used as an educational tool in social justice issues.

“Most people can have some kind of engage-ment with art, and this exhibit lets people blend art with social justice issues with a basic un-derstanding,” Lewis said.

(In)Visible Men will be on display at the University YMCA from now to October 31. The exhibit is free and open to the public.

TV REVIEW: THE MUPPETS

CAMRON OWENS

WHEN having intelligent conversation about current puppet relations, it

is important to acknowledge the man responsible for bringing the Muppets back into the light: actor Jason Segel. No one loves Muppets more than Segel. While on a press circuit in 2011 after writing and starring in The Muppets, Segel passionately told Huffi ngton Post why he loved the Muppets. He described their humor as kind, lighthearted yet still edgy. “You don’t have to get laughs by making fun of somebody else, and it can still be cool,” he said. Which is a perfect example of why the Muppets have become a beloved group of characters for people of young and old.

What do you do when you have a group of be-loved characters? Market the daylights out of them, of course! People love the Muppets and their musical, happy antics. So naturally, a new Muppets TV show was announced on ABC. ABC, however, took a different approach than the re-cent fi lms. After watching the premier of their new TV series, "The Muppets," I found that this was not a call back to the Muppet days of yore like in Jason Segel’s fi lm. In fact, I wasn’t really sure what ABC was going for with this show.

The show follows the Muppet gang, who, as usual, are putting together a show. This time, however, it’s a late night talk show starring Miss Piggy. Kermit is once again doing the work be-hind the curtain and dealing with a whole slew of crazy Muppet characters and celebrity guests. This all sounds like a typical Muppet adventure until you factor in this massive revelation: Kermit and Miss Piggy have broken up, and Kermit has a new lady in his life. This is where "The Muppets" starts to take some unfamiliar turns.

Gone is the cartoonish mischief. The Muppets

now have human problems. Kermit is working with his ex, Fozzie is in an “interspecial” relation-ship with a human whose parents disapprove and Doctor Teeth and the Electric Meyhem are now much more open about their wild rock and roll lifestyle. All of these scenarios sound more like Family Guy cutaway gags rather than material the Muppets would actually use. This leads me to my overall problem with the new Muppet show: it wants to be something that it doesn’t need to be.

ABC wanted a “more adult” Muppet show (for some reason), and they got it. That is, if they de-fi ne “more adult” by more references to more ma-ture topics. The show is not dirty by any means, but there were quite a few vague references to sex, race and drugs in the premier episode, top-ics that Jason Segel’s Muppets never addressed. I don’t know who was hoping that the Muppets would provide commentary on interracial rela-tionships, but hey, ABC gave it to us anyway.

Despite ABC’s odd intentions, the show isn’t beyond saving. The Muppets are still the lov-able Muppets, regardless of corporate agenda. I found quite a few parts to be funny, and there were quick quips that could be in any Mup-pet movie or show. However, the obvious push to make the Muppets more adult takes away from the fun that could be had on this show. If ABC wants adults to enjoy "The Muppets" (as every adult rightfully should), they should work on making smarter humor like the movies, rather than edgier humor. If done right, this show could become a fun, behind-the-scenes comedy with fun cameos like "30 Rock," but until then (or until Jason Segel intervenes), I guess we’re stuck with whatever this show is.
