Gonzo Publishers Kick It Old School at Indy 500

Timeless Communications chief Terry Lowe offers up a cold Fosters to his track mates at the Indianapolis 500. The 2010 running was the hottest race in the 100 year history of "the greatest spectacle in racing."


Hoosier Publisher turned New Jersey Ad Dog Don Berry returned to his Indiana roots after many years away on his compound in Tranquility, NJ.

Lowe and Berry (or Jack Merde as he was known back in his street rag days) were in town for a Taboo/Hot Potato reunion party at Radio Radio -- See IndySocial "The Return of Jack Merde". According to the duo, the event was a celebration of Indianapolis in the 1980s -- back when clubs like the Patio and Crazy Als and bands like Rods N Cones and Zero Boyz ruled the roost.

After a successful nite, where Randy King and John Byrne rocked the downtown Fountain Square House, along with Dave Fulton, with interludes by DJ Marvin Goldstein, the two publishers and their families spent Memorial Day in Indianapolis kicking it old school at the track. They began the day with a traditional powdered eggs and biscuit and gravy breakfast, with bloody Mary chasers, at the Antelope Club, after which a police motorcycle escort whisked them, sirens ablaze,  to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway VIP parking. A short tussle through the throngs and the entourage found a cool spot under the Paddock overhang, where they enjoyed the 100th Anniversary of the Indy 500.

Cold Australian brew, grilled chicken sandwiches, Oreo cookies and even some vintage checkered seat cushions for Terry Lowe and his gal pal Susie.
