What probably happened is Mr. Duffy came here years ago, before the city realized what amazing possibility it had. Almost every American city goes through a rebirth at some point and every city has those awkward growing pains and uncomfortable teenage years.
She’s right!
I’d now say Indianapolis has turned into a nice little young adult of a city. I know we’ve got more history than that, but I’m perpetuating the growing pain metaphor.
What are you doing this Friday night? Well, if you live in Indianapolis then you need to be heading over to the Vogue to see one of Indy’s up and coming rock bands. These guys have not played Indianapolis in quite some time but are ready to rock the house with the 80’s cover band 16 Candles.
Borrow Tomorrow is an Indianapolis based rock band that not only impresses on their polished instrumentals but also with some educated and experienced songwriting. They perform songs like Shy Away and Looking that will not only have you swaying in your chair but will have you begging to sing along. They also drop some slower songs on you like Wicker Park Suite that have front man Chris Jerles on keys. Regardless if he is caressing the keyboard or melting faces with his guitar, his voice is what makes him worth watching. His voice is not clean and clear cut like you might expect yet dirty and rusty that plays perfect into their overall sound. Throw lead guitar from Robert Newport in the mix and you have a duo that can play off each other all night long.
Keeping things in the family, Robert’s brother Andrew is behind them hiding behind the drum kit. Although you might go an entire show and never see his face you will know he is there from his intense solos and his adrenaline packed ambiance. But someone you will notice, and will remember as well, is the bass player Randall Trumbell. Standing on the side moving ever so softly to the sounds you will find him in his own little world slapping the bass with affection. Always sporting blue glasses and a sport coat he is hard to miss and impossible to forget.
Regardless of the quality of music these four guys produce, they are also some of the nicest guys you will ever meet. They make a point after every show to shake every hand and to sign every CD. These guys are some of the hardest workingmen in the business and it shows in their entire presence. So this Friday make sure you see them at the Vogue in Broad Ripple. This is a show that you cannot afford to miss.
(If you head over to the merchandise table during the show and talk with Ricky Potts (from rickyleepotts.com) and mention this article you will get a free CD.)
Are you going to the game Saturday night or watching it at home? If you’re watching at home do you get together with friends or watch it without distraction and interruption from others?
Will 2010 be the year that Indianapolis inches a little bit closer to offering more options for public transportation? Let’s hope that new developments, support and encouragement does enter the discussion, but until then Indianapolis residents will need to continue to look for places to fill up their gasoline tanks as cheaply as possible.
The IndyGasPrices website can help you do just that. You can search for what location has the best prices in your area, and even help them out by reporting gas prices in your area whenever possible.

Because my son loves sports and BW3’s we passed on having any food at Laser Flash, but if we’d wanted we could have had them supply a personalized birthday cake or even Donato’s Pizza for our entire birthday party as well.
We all had a blast with our game of laser tag and all the boys had plenty of fun with all of the arcade games available too. Our 40-minute session consisted of three different mini-games. By the end the boys were firing on all cylinders and the two adults were ready to sit down and enjoy the bottomless fountain drinks to recharge.
The staff and team at Laser Flash did a fantastic job of making sure we all had fun, knew what was going on and made it a memorable and fun birthday party for my son’s 10th birthday.
Whether you’re looking for a place to have a great birthday party with your kids, some family entertainment, adult fun with your friends or maybe even some team building with your coworkers, you should think about Laser Flash in Carmel, IN.
