October 29th features Bob Duffy calling, and music by Emily Ann Thompson’s band.

Highway construction in downtown Indy, where I 70 and I 65 merge and go north/south together was finished weeks early! NO need for detours.

Google Maps had accounted for the construction, so don’t be surprised if it still shows on Friday, but according to the news, the interstate is open!

On the 22nd we get invaded by Louisville! Down to Earth band with Bradley Smith.  Be sure to attend Gypsy Moon Ball first, so you’re prepared to welcome our guests appropriately.

Friday night’s coming. Here are Gaye & the Coffee Zombies earlier this year
