SCENE AND HEARD // COLLEGE NIGHT AT QUINTON'S
> New places. New faces.
Every Tuesday at Quinton's Bar and Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., students set aside their studies for a weekly ritual. College Night.
"It's a fun place to be because we always have a great DJ and the Ice Bar upstairs has good specials too," Scott Montana, senior and door man for the bar, says. "The free cover is definitely a big part of it."
During the day, the traditional deli serves a variety of soups and sandwiches, but at night, its bar scene comes to life. Cover is free with a valid KU ID. For $2 more, the upstairs bar offers an outdoor patio with full bar service, a DJ and dance floor, and Quinton's own "Ice Bar" inside. The L-shaped bar is covered with a sheet of ice that is kept frozen all night.
"It's the only bar on Mass that's fun on Tuesdays, besides Jazzhaus and Brother's," Sarita Petersen, a senior from Syracuse, Kan., says. "It's always been the place to be."
For those who put off their studies until Sunday night, College Night is the perfect excuse to let loose early in the week and relieve some stress.
"I study so much that I want to take a break from it," Emily Deutch, Overland Park senior, says. "I love the free cover. Not a lot of bars do that, and we're in college so it's great for me."
Quinton's Bar and Deli is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., with different specials every night. The upstairs bar opens around 11 p.m.

STAGE PRESENCE // THE COOL KIDS
> Feel free to swoon.
The Cool Kids sold out The Granada Theater two years ago and they're back to do it again. The two emcees, Mikey Rocks and Chuck English, who make up the hip-hop duo, met in 2005 via Myspace.
Last month, The Cool Kids released a new album titled When Fish Ride Bicycles. "It's kind of like 'when pigs fly' but a little bit cooler," Mikey says.
The idea for the album's title came from a Fresh Prince of Bellaire episode, and it represents the struggle they went through legally to get the album released.
"We thought the album was going to come out 'when fish really rode bicycles' because we had a bunch of legal B.S. going on with our former partners, so it was a little hectic," Mikey says.
After working with artists like Travis Barker, Lil Wayne and Maroon 5, The Cool Kids are excited for their future and their upcoming tour this fall, especially their show in Lawrence. "The kids there are real hype," Mikey says. "Everyone is dope in Lawrence."
Too cool: The Cool Kids return to Lawrence to perform at the Granada Santa night.

Mike Logan, owner of The Granada Theater, says he's excited to have the duo back. "They are 100 percent energy, and all of the local supporting acts bring energy to the stage," Logan says.
To see The Cool Kids preform live, be sure to head downtown to The Granada tonight. Tickets are available for $15 at The Granada box office for anyone 18 or older, and the show starts at 9 p.m.
