I recently had the opportunity to chat social media and community events with Lorraine Ball of Roundpeg. Social Media is a complex tactic that can really make or break your event or community outing. The talk went to several local Indy organizations, pics, postings and more. We chatted up DoItIndy, Indy Fringe Theatre Festival and Movember Indy. Thanks again Lorraine and crew at Roundpeg.
When I was in college…yes I played Pokemon a little. I am a true fan-boy geek at heart. The game was OK, but I never really got into it. BUT – the cartoon was always cool to me. PIKACHU!!!!!
Check it out – I got to interview the world wide marketing manager, a player of the card game and PIKACHU!

Having a great time at Palomino for Devour Downtown Summer 2011
Since I moved back to Indianapolis in 2007, one of my favorite activities has been to eat during Devour Downtown. I’ve now visited Fogo de Chao, Morton’s, 14 West, Palomino, The Oceanaire Seafood Room and Smokehouse on Shelby. AWESOME! Usually, I would not have been able to dine at such exclusive, local restaurants because I simply couldn’t afford them. $30. How cool is it to get great food (3 courses) at 48 local restaurants for that price??!! Even better, all the restaurants are conveniently located with downtown Indianapolis. You can go from Meridian to Mass Ave. to Fountain Square to the canal…they have it all covered.
My show, DoItIndy, has been honored to be a sponsor of this wonderful event. Over the past two days, myself along with Tolin, Director KC and Susan Decker (Devour Downtown PR rep) have been eating our way to happiness. I’m a foodie, and this is the perfect foodie event.
Be on the look out over the next two weeks for interviews, food reviews and a Top 5 list LIVE from Palomino and the Oceanaire.
The judges talk, drink and come up with a decision on the best drink Devour Downtown has to offer.
I was also very lucky to be a part of Devour Downtown’s signature drink competition. Many thanks again to Susan Decker for letting us be a part of this great event. Last Wednesday we converged on the Omni Hotel with bartenders from some of the BEST restaurants in Indianapolis. After sips of some fantastic beverages, winners were chosen for the Hendrick’s Gin, Grey Goose Vodka, and Knob Creek Whiskey categories. The Paradise Peach Froth was by far my overall favorite, it was the perfect summer drink in my opinion.
THE WINNERS:
Grey Goose: Peach Paradise Froth from Tavern on the South
Knob Creek Whiskey: Bitter Creek from The Elbow Room
Hendrick’s Gin: Scottish Right from Scotty’s Brewhouse
I get to meet a lot of cool people and see some awesome events in Indianapolis with my DoItIndy show. Tolin introduced me to Ricky Potts when we first started and we instantly started talking cool social media stuff. I knew right away I liked this guy’s vibe. Last February we had the opportunity to help him promote a local event (six bands for six bucks) that features SIX local bands. It was awesome. And only six bucks!
After a great February show, Ricky approached us to become the title sponsor for his next six4six, happening this Saturday, Aug. 6th. We jumped on the opportunity and now we are even going to emcee the night. Hope we pull it off ok?! 🙂 Needless to say, I am very excited and stoked to be a part of this show. If you can’t be there – the entire event will be LIVE streamed on the internet! Awesome.
Come out for some good, local, cheap fun.
Birdy’s Bar & Grill – 71st Street and Keystone Ave.
$6 Doors Open at 7pm, music starts at 8pm.
