Vodka sunrise
Johnson's regulars thirst for her specialty drink:
the vodka sunrise.
Lindsey Johnson
When she's not pulling passed-out, drunken girls off of the toilet at Jet Lag, Lindsey Johnson, St. Louis senior, is earning a living serving drinks as a bartender. She works at the Mad Hatter Bar & Grill and Jet Lag. Johnson has tended bar for two years at Jet Lag (where she began her drink-singing duties) and she's worked at the Mad Hatter for two months.
Schedule: Johnson works on Tuesday and Friday nights at the Mad Hatter and Thursday and Saturday nights at Jet Lag.
Future plans: She's a journalism major at KU and will graduate this December.
Favorite music to listen to while working: Johnson says she'll listen to anything except for heavy metal. "I hate angry music," she says.

Sandbar 17 E. 8th St.
Kansas may be landlocked but the spirit of the sea can still be found at the Sandbar, 17 E. 8th St. Less than a nautical block from Mass. St., this tiny bar (capacity 49) is Lawrence's own shack near the wharf, complete with a tiki bar, surfboards and a 400-gallon fish tank. Be sure to ask former KU basketball player and current Sandbar manager Dave Johanning for the bar's signature drink: the Bahama Mama — a fruity head rush that comes fully-loaded with a tiny umbrella and Mardi Grass-style beads to wear. Also, browse the city's most baffling jukebox, which includes Jimmy Buffet (understandable), Sinatra (unexpected) and the Schoolhouse Rock soundtrack (incredible). To quote the Little Mermaid's affable worrywart Sebastian, "Just look at the world around you, right here on the ocean floor. Such wonderful things surround you - what more is you lookin' for?"
