I’ve been to very few concerts in my life, but I feel that this one was unique. I doubt that any other concert I will attend will be delayed for several months, feature a video montage of songs from the 60’s that is as long as the opening act and end with several members of […]

Buttermilk pancakes, cardamom pancakes, cinnamon applesauce pancakes, peanut butter-filled pancakes, speculoos-filled pancakes, candied bacon pancakes, lemon herbed goat cheese pancakes and postmodern pancakes. I ate all of them. In one sitting. Drenched in blood orange rhubarb syrup. In that order. After watching I Like Killing Flies, a documentary about the eccentric owner of Shopsin’s in New […]

As we are all well aware of, finals are coming up. This entails much-dreaded, sleepless nights of trying to relearn all the material we’ve learned this entire quarter. Amiss frantically going over homework problems, making sense of stacks of unorganized notes and lecture slides, and frantically attempting to understand long-winded textbooks, we tend to put […]

With all the Thai restaurants in Davis, you are bound to hit a crossroads at least once when deciding which place to try out next. Sophia’s Thai Kitchen or Thai Nakorn? Fast like Thai Canteen, or a more formal setting such as KetMoRee? There are eight Thai restaurants in downtown alone. I can honestly say […]

Every week, my housemates and I endeavor to comfortably seat 14 people across four couches in our living room for as long as it takes us to discuss the week’s affairs. Meetings can involve anything from divvying up chores to planning camping trips to discussing why your shampoo seems to be magically disappearing between uses. […]

You’re strolling downtown after midnight on a Friday after hitting the bars — what sounds like the most satisfying morsel you can grab to fix your case of the munchies? Owner Jose Cortez of Taqueria El Burrito, which opened in November in the old Great Wall of China II location across from de Vere’s, was […]

“Time is money” pretty much sums up how our world today lives by. We never seem to have enough of it, whether it’s for sleep, studying or leisure activities. In my first economics class at Davis, we learned about opportunity costs. How I see it is that opportunity cost is the next best […]

Now that we’ve hit week eight, I can’t wait for spring break. When I think of spring break, I think of warm sun, beaches and most importantly, no midterms, finals or lab reports! A couple years ago, we vacationed in Maui. I couldn’t help but reminisce in those memories while trying to avoid studying for […]

Earlier this morning, beer connoisseurs lined up outside The Davis Beer Shoppe to get a taste of the infamous Pliny The Younger. And it’s not too late to get in on the action. Pliny The Younger — crafted by Santa Rosa’s Russian River Brewery — is frequently heralded as “the best beer in the world,” […]

I don’t even care that I completely failed my midterm. No crying over spilt milk, right? I had no care in the world besides when the J-line would pick me up from the Silo, so I could celebrate. After that and a good night’s sleep, I woke up, ready to head back home for the […]

If you’re like me and spend at least an hour every day on Pinterest, you know that spaghetti squash is a huge trend right now, as it’s an excellent low-carb, low-calorie alternative to pasta. I’ve been seeing recipes using this winter fruit all over Pinterest for some time and finally decided to see what all […]

KDVS 90.3, UC Davis’ freeform radio station, is taking steps toward opening up a downtown music venue. Adding such a space for audiophiles of all ages will greatly improve the music culture in Davis, and make weekends a lot more fun. The radio station recently hosted an event in conjunction with the Davis Music Festival […]
