What the F&*# do you Want?

The bar scene in Charlottetown is getting very interesting these days, to say the least. New bars are opening up offering spe- cials, large bars are just get- ting larger, all hoping to get apiece of the drinking crowd pie. This leaves you won- dering where to go. I have heard of this bar, called the Panther Lounge, that has been around for long time but does not draw crowds like large obnoxious bars downtown. It is really cheap, people have a great time

when they go, but the ma- jority of the population tend to stay away. Case in point: The Punters played upstairs on Friday the 20th of Sep- tember. This is a band that packed the house in other venues in Acadia, Mt. Allison, and UNB but ended up having aclassroom sized crowd to play for at UPEI. Obviously this is not what is intended to happen when a band is booked. This would lead one to believe that the Panther Lounge is not ca- tering to the needs of the

university population. What then are the needs? Wres- tling? Mimes? Wrestling Mimes? Seriously though, if you are tired of hot, packed, greasy bars; stop and think of what you want in a bar and contact me (jseller). You are in univer- sity, get off your butts and start partying.

Ed. Note: Thursday night, October 1 0this Disco Night, and October 17 is Moxy Fruvous. Keep up the good work Jon.
