Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Chloe & The Lonesome Cowboy

Finding new music is fun. I love just surfing the web looking for new tunes, exploring new styles, and finding that next big thing. But the band sitting with me today actually came to me; I didn’t have to look hard. I was sitting at my desk one day and I received an email from the lead singer. She was asking me if I would take some time to listen to their sound and give some feedback. As soon as I heard them I knew that not only did I want to learn more about [...]

Watching Nip/Tuck Come to an End

The reason why I like Christian is for his style. Not his attitude, as most people would probably consider him an absolute douchebag, but for his demeanor and his sense of fashion. He dresses like a model right out of GQ. Christian Troy is played by Julian McMahon, and is originally from New South Wales, Australia. His father was a politician and a future Prime Minister of Australia. This all plays into the way he behaves on the show with an untouchable attitude. Most [...]

Shan Parker Recaps the Rally for Equality

The next two hours went smoothly. Lots of cupcakes were given away, several entertainers performed, and a group of about five of us gave short speeches to the crowd. I’ll admit that I had written my speech at midnight the night before. I hadn’t given a speech in public since college and I was nervous about not just telling the story again, but making it personal and heartfelt. The night before, I read through the speech several times and it seemed good, but it wasn’t [...]

Understanding Shan Parker & Just Cookies

When I first heard about this story, I didn’t know what to think. A good friend of mine came to me asking if I knew anything about Just Cookies located downtown Indianapolis. I actually had never heard of the place, but later learned it is located inside City Market. Long story short, Just Cookies refused to make a batch of cupcakes for one of their customers. There are several stories floating around on the Internet as to what actually happened, but I wanted to cut [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Glass Halo

How do I even begin to describe the talent these guys have? They previous winners of the Battle of Birdy’s, they have played shows all over the Midwest, and they put on one of the hardest rocking live shows I have seen in a long time. They are based out of Indianapolis and are often considered one of the best bands around. I first met these guys at a show here in town when they were opening up for Fred Shafer. The show, ironically enough [...]

Learning More about the Chinese Zodiac

Anyone that knows me has probably heard me talk about my love for Chinese food. From the hand rolled sushi to the sweet and sour chicken, the taste of a good buffet is hard to replace. Some people ask if I like going to places like Mark Pi’s or Panda Express, and while I won’t argue with a lunch or dinner at one of these one stop shops, I prefer going to buffets. You pay one low price and get as many trips through the line as you wish. Plus, drinks [...]

The Right Kind of a Relationship

Allow me to start by saying that I am by no means ready to get married. I am only twenty-six years old, and while a lot of you out there think that getting married is a matter of maturity over age, I disagree. I feel that there has to be a certain readiness in everyone before he or she decides to take the plunge into a lifelong journey with someone else. I think that the reason why so many people get divorced after their first marriage is because they are not [...]

What do you get a Geek for Valentine’s Day?

If you are lucky enough to be in love, then this time of year is special for you and your significant other. Every year around the middle of February Cupid hits the streets in an effort to bring people together, to make those who already together have an excuse to go out for a nice dinner, and even proves as a way to make for a certain number of you depressed and force even some of the more lonely folks to taking their own lives. (It is no surprise that holidays like Christmas and [...]
