The World has a New Strongest Beer

A bottle of Coors Light has 4.2% alcohol by volume. That is 12 ounces of beer that is brewed ice cold and served in either bottle, can, or on draught. It falls in line with such American classics as Budweiser, Bud Light, Miller Light, Busch Light, and Keystone. They are all what we have come to know as domestic beers and are pretty much guaranteed they are the cheapest thing at any given restaurant or bar. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford a beer found on the import list [...]

David Guetta at BoMA in Columbus, Ohio

This year alone I have seen the likes of Paul van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Armin van Buuren, and Above and Beyond. If those names are unfamiliar to you note that they are some of the biggest DJs in the world. Armin van Buuren, for example, is actually the single biggest DJ on the planet. So when I heard that David Guetta, the number three DJ and the number one house DJ in the world, was doing a Midwest tour I got excited. All of the DJs [...]

Twitter Interview: 1-on-1 with Paul Poteet

I remember growing up always listening to the radio to and from Terre Haute. We would turn on 99.9 (the country station) or when we were feeling a little bit frisky we would check out 100.9 (the top 40 station). Radio, over the years, has gone from being nothing but music to being all about everything else. I challenge you to turn on the radio and see how long you can stomach not changing the station. You will be overwhelmed with commercials, headlines [...]

Peterson’s Restaurant Plays Host to the CCCG

To go along with the experience that I had at Peterson’s Restaurant not too long ago, the same hospitality was shown to the Circle City Chamber Group. The CCCG is the non-profit that I work with here in Indianapolis. They are an organization that shows support and brings the best of visual, culinary and musical artists to the city. They work with other local establishments like the Mass Ave Wine Shoppe and the Canterbury Hotel, so adding Peterson’s to [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Brad Real

I have to be honest. I do not like rap. I am sick of hearing songs from people who claim to be from the “ghetto” and have lived such terrible lives but yet drive nice cars and are covered in all of the nicest jewelry. I have a few rap artists that I listen to, like 50 Cent, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and a few others. I now have to add one more name to that list. Enter the voice that I am sitting with today. He brings a very honest set of lyrics to the microphone [...]

The Bhut Jolokia Pepper

I can honestly say that I like hot foods. I enjoy the spice that comes with each and every bite and if a few tears are shed then you know the heat was worth it. Just the other day I had a jalapeño infused cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese and some spicy French fries with Tabasco sauce. The meal was spicy, sure, and I was forced to drink two glasses of water afterward to just be able to think straight, but it was an enjoyable [...]

Welcome to BoMA in Columbus, Ohio

When I first heard that David Guetta was coming to the Midwest I knew I had to go. He was playing at a small venue in Columbus, Ohio called BoMA. BoMA, the Bar of Modern Art, actually resides in an old church. The building was renovated into a music venue as well as a place to hold private events like wedding receptions and art exhibits. When first driving by BoMA you would never think that a DJ from the other side of the world would manage to land [...]
