Anyone who says
Eugene does not have
a night lile has obvi
ously never been to
Guido's Restaurant and More.
Located right in the heart of
campus life. East 1 hh Avenue,
Ciuido’s pumps action and
excitement into tire veins of
Campus.
Of course a bar of this cali
bre can be a little intimidating,
so like a lot of people, you're
probably asking yourself, "VC ill I
lit in’," "Will I know the right
moves’" or "Am I wearing
enough neon.’"
To help those of you who
aspire toward Guido’s great
ness, but are a little unsure of
the proper moves, we have
decided to follow University
jumoi Kevin Wucpper to
Guido's and discover ICth
Avenue night life at its great
est.
One night in the Itfe of a
liiikio's regular begins at
Wuepper’s home, where some
important primping ntuals take
place.
“It’s essential to get the tight
look when vott’re going to a
place like Unido's,” Wnepper
• says as he hooks hts fourth gold
chain around hts neck. "I
always say a person can never
use enough gel "
Apparently a person can
never have enough assorted
neon tank tops either. W uepper
chooses one in a lovely bright
orange shade
" l itis color blends well with
the strobe light Kevin
explains.
lot pants, Kevin suggests the
basic loose fitting black para
chute pant'
"These give me enough
room to really dance, while still
showing oil my stull, he says as
he does a lew practice lunges
on lus dance mat.
“It's important to warm up
tirxt. I usually stretchout and
then J<> .1 little miming man
anJ a tew body waves I he
head spins come later." Wuep
per '.i\s
Next, Wuepper splashes on a
little Stallion cologne, takes
one more admiring glance in
the mirror and is on his way to
t undo s.
As we wait outside o! the bat
to get in, there is a scuttle at
the door Apparently someone
has dared to mess with the man
in fatigues who guards the front
door.
"Sorry man," the guv yells as
he i' thrown out,"I didn’t see
you in all that camouflage!"
Once we make it pas: the
army general sse are immedi
ately engulted in an array of
people. Near the hat, Wuepper
watches a group of girls m hla:
ers order a handful of quarter
beers, whish are offered lues
day nights from 10 to 1 1 p m.
Then Wueppet’s eyes survey
the scene around the corner
where some slressesl-foscore
girls play s itleo poker.
•\ few steps up from the Ktr
