Students can enjoy live music at the Big Cat Food Court this Wednesday from 12-1pm outside under the patio shade.
Called "Radical Tunes," the Big Cat Food Court and Cougar Shops have started a new tradition to offer live music for students to enjoy while eating their lunch.
"We want to further develop a fun and exciting atmosphere at the Big Cat Food Court and support "Student Life" on campus," said Tipper Philips, marketing specialist for the University Auxiliary and Research Services Corporations (UARSC). "Having good music with good food and drink is an outstanding opportunity to improve the environment in the Big Cat Food Court."
Having two prior performances, Philips says it's a new tradition that is still in its early stages of development. "We just started this and are feeling out the interest level."
With the office of Global studies offering international week at CSUSM Nov 16-19, the Big Cat Food Court celebrates it its own way by featuring a different international menu item each day. Flavors from around the world are offered to students for a chance to taste recipes from overseas and other foreign lands.
The new menu items are only for a limited time and end on Thursday, Nov. 19. Menu items prices will vary.
Musical groups performing vary in genres and performance opportunities are available if any students interested in performing with their band are able to contact Tipper Phillips at tphillip@csusm.edu or by phone 760-750-4718. They will need to provide a recording/CD of what they would like to perform.
"Our goal is to try and have musical performances most Wednesdays but we have a limited budget and are not able to compensate everyone for their efforts," continued Philips. "We are excited about this and hope to be able to support new student life experiences here at Cal State San Marcos."
Limited Time International Menu Items:
Monday: Thai
Thai Peanut Chicken Satay.
Tuesday: Mediterranean
Lemon Chicken with Tabouli and Mediterranean Salsa.
Wednesday: Indian
Chickpea and Sweet Potato Curry and Basmati Rice.
Thursday: Italian
Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich with Pomodoro Sauce, Spinach and Mozzarella on toasted Focaccia.
