As they did last month and as they will do every month until further notice, I had the chance to attend yet another Pick 24 wine tasting event. These events, as you might remember me discussing in a previous blog post, are your chance to come in, and for a minimal fee – $10 is all – you can sample twenty-four [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Chris Parish

When I first met the dude that I am sitting with today I was shocked by not only his talents on stage but also his kindness off stage. He comes from a long line of singer/songwriters that I have become good friends with. Guys like Curtis Peoples and Dave Yaden add a certain level of realism to my life and my life in the music industry. But when the beer drinking, flannel shirt wearing, tattooed man that I am sitting with today entered my life, I am glad that [...]

If You Can’t Take the Heat

When I first heard about the Bhut Jolokia pepper I was immediately intrigued. This is known as the hottest pepper in the world and is often referred to as the “ghost pepper” or the” ghost chili”. The pepper itself is so hot that you are required to wear gloves even touching it, as the skin on the pepper will burn your hands on contact. If you watch the television show Man v. Food, brought to you by Adam Richman and the Travel Channel, you have seen him try to tackle some [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Evan Haughey

When I first met the guy that I am sitting with today it was in a smoky run down bar on Indy’s far north side. The bar was nearly empty when I walked in. He had his own little cheering section dancing and singing along to the words to all of his original tunes, but other than those few individuals and the bartender, the place was hollow. But that did not stop him from putting all of his heart into it. He played some covers, but most of the set was filled with originals. As [...]
