Fish House Punch
At some point in college,you've no doubt been at a party where people served jungle juice,trash in punch or a sugary-
sweet, sublimely strong punch by some other name. While the idea of creating a large batch of drinks for your guests may seem like a good idea at the time, the concoction usually turns out to be overdone and somewhat juvenile. Fish Bowl Punch, however, isn't your regular alcoholic punch. This drink has an impressive background. George Washington supposedly imbbed this drink on many occasions. Serve this to your friends and impress them with your knowledge of its high-class connections. But like most punches, it's intense, so make sure you keep the portions under control.
keep in bowl Fish Bowl Punch was created in 1732 at the Schuylkill Fishing Club in Philadelphia. It was traditionally served
during cold weather to remind the fishing club members of warmer months. The club held regular meetings, which always began with members drinking this punch. After having this drink, George Washington apparently was too intoxicated to complete his daily journal entries. Follow the lead of the fishing club and prepare this drink for a couple of your drinking buddies.
36 oz. (or 1 liter bottle) dark rum
24 oz. frozen, thawed lemonade
225 oz. (or 750 milliliter bottle)
cognac
4 oz. peach brandy
3/4 pound sugar
40 oz. water
Stir sugar into lemon juice and water until sugar dissolves. An hour before serving, add alcohol and ice and refrigerate. Make sure ice stays cold and doesn't dilute the punch.

Moon Bar
Location: 821 Iowa St.
If you are looking for a diverse crowd, Moon Bar is the place to be. Attracting people from all different walks of life, Moon Bar offers a variety of activities and live music to keep you entertained for the night. The Moon Bar has four pool tables, a dartboard, touch screens and a dance floor. Private Karaoke rooms are unique to Moon Bar. The rooms, which feature state-of-the-art equipment, couches and a big screen TV, give you and your friends the sensation of a private party. The only difference is that a waitress delivers your drinks, so you don't have to designate a nightly "beer bitch." Moon Bar is one of the few bars in Lawrence that has sake bombs. Instead of waiting in line for 30 minutes at McDonalds or Taco Bell after you leave the bar, just order a bowl of hot broth and noodles. It only takes five minutes and you can choose from spicy, chicken, beef or pork flavors. They sound and taste a lot like Ramen Noodles, but when you are that "been drinking all night" kind of hungry, anything tastes good.

Interview mc chris
If you've ever stayed up late watching the Cartoon Network on Sunday nights, you've heard mc chris. And if you're one of the countless fans of the cult classic Adult Swim cartoons, then you've probably got a shrine to him in your closet. The Libertyville, Ill. rapper started out as the voice of Hesh the angry robot on Sealab 2021 and has since moved on to become the voice of MC Pee Pants on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. This Tuesday he'll be slinging rhymes at the Bottleneck as he

passes through Lawrence on his nationwide tour.
passes through Lawrence on his nation wide tour. Jayplay writer Robert Perkins caught up with him between shows to talk about touring, Adult Swim and Star Wars.
Why did you decide to go on tour? And how's the tour going so far? I decided to tour last summer in San Diego at Comicon, when I was on an Adult Swim panel there. I trapped a little and this huge room of people went crazy. And I thought to myself, I want to do that again as soon as possible, maybe even do a whole show. I quit my job and came up to New York to record some new stuff, but it quickly became obvious that it was time to tour and not record. As for how it's going, my manager says he can book me every day til Christmas. We've done about 11 or 12 shows so far and have sold out every one of them. The show still has some kinks, but that's to be expected with just one month of rehearsal. The fans have been awesome and meeting them has kicked everything in my life up a notch.
Why did you decide to do a show in Lawrence?
Why did you decide to do a show in Lawns? Sometimes it's a fan bugging a venue, sometimes it's a venue run by fans, sometimes it's just my booking agent looking to fill in empty spaces on our tour schedule. I plan to go everywhere. Lawrence is just one of the many places where mc fans are hiding out.
What can we expect from your show on Tuesday? Vomiting.
Fett's Vette' has become an underground classic, especially among us Star Wars nerds. Which is your favorite Star Wars movie, and why? Well, ROTJ [Return of the Jedi], just because it's the one I saw in the theaters or remember seeing. The opening at Jabba's was very old school and is probably the closest Lucas ever came to capturing the vibe of the old serials he was trying to imitate (Indy flicks excluded).
Who do you consider to be your main musical influences?
Who do you consider to be your main music interest Reggie and Full Effect, The Roots, Talib Kawil, Cibbo Matto. Not all of them are necessarily my favorite bands, but just the way they approach music is what I look at.
How did you get in with the whole Adult Swim crew? I got discovered in a bar in Manhattan, I sound weird, and I guess they dug it.
What drew you to Aqua Teen Hunger Force from Sealab 2021?
What drew you to Aqua Teen Hunger Force from Sealab 2021 I just wanted to try something new. I really wanted to be a member of the Williams Street Family. I wanted to see how networks and programming blocks worked not just individual toons.
You've said before that you'd like to do your own cartoon at some point. What sort of show do you have in mind? Not telling. But I've got it all planned out.
And what else do you have planned for the future?
And what else do you have planned for the
I'd like to get married and have a family, but that's way off. I'd like to be on a Harold Team at the UCB Theater in New York. I'd like to make a huge kick-ass album that was half comedy-skits, halp rap. I'd like to get a nice car, buy my brother a house. I want to make the mc cartoon. I want to write and direct my own tour DVD, my own music videos, my own films. Besides that I plan on seeing Revenge of the Sith a few thousand gazillion times.
