Tonight and tomorrow, students can get “down, down, down, down, down” to Jay Sean and the rest of the artists and comedians coming to Kent for Cabin Fever weekend.

Cabin Fever Weekend starts tonight with Jay Sean and DJ Scrilla performing in the M.A.C. Center. Tickets are $10 for Kent students, and general admission tickets are available through Ticketmaster. One dollar of each ticket sold will go to UNICEF.

Scott Sherwood, executive director for USG, said this is part of their “ten on ten on ten” campaign, a collective collaboration on campus where the goal is to make $10,000 in 10 weeks in 2010.

“It’ll be a good show and contribute to relief efforts,” Sherwood said.

Freshman exploratory major Angelia Teseo said she is excited because she has never seen a famous rapper perform, and it will be nice to get out with her friends.

“I can’t wait to see Jay Sean perform,” Teseo said. “It will be the highlight of my month.”

Tomorrow night, comedians John Caparulo, Chad Zumock and Mike Polk will perform stand-up free for Kent State students, and $10 for the general public. Caparulo has been on the TV show “Chelsea Lately.” Polk, 32, said that he has never met Caparulo, but he thinks he is hilarious. He said that he and Zumock hung out at Kent State together and remain friends.

Polk graduated from Kent State in 2001 with a communications and psychology degree.

“I have a full time job writing ads for a series of Web sites,” said Polk. “Comedy is something that I do for fun.”

Polk said he spends a lot of time with ladies, “kissing them on their mouths and what-not.”

He said that he is also in a motivational rock band called Falconheart, which takes up a lot of time.

“I’m not excited about this Friday,” said Polk. “But that’s not a knock on Kent. I don’t get excited about much of anything. I’m kind of dead inside. I would say that they should probably anticipate me getting uncomfortably intoxicated, like to the point where they sort of pity me, and then they can expect me to try to convince them to let me sleep in their dorm rooms. That’s sort of a little tradition of mine.”
