Before you get to Wanamaker, however, look for the Outback Steakhouse on your right and turn right (north) onto Westport road. Drive north a short distance and Westridge Lanes will be on your left.

24 Comedian John Roy 7 p.m., Washburn Room, Memorial Union
CAB saw John Roy last spring in Little Rock, Ark., and they knew they had to bring him to Washburn. John’s unique observations on contemporary culture, childhood, racial tolerance, and the media are punctuated by energetic character voices, clever dialogue, and, when absolutely necessary, the occasional bit of singing. John Roy is a solid comedian whose performance you don't want to miss.
