Cheech & Chong Fire Up the Murat Theatre


Legandary stoner-comedians Cheech&Chong have alighted here in the Circle City. The notorious duo will perform Jan. 22 at the Murat Theatre as part of the “Get It Legal” tour. Is it legal yet?

Tommy Chong was arrested for selling Bongs, and ended up serving time. The story was chronicled in a very good documentary: a.k.a. Tommy Chong.

Tickets, $45 and $35, go on sale at 4:20 p.m. Friday. Visit www.livenation.com or call (877) 598-8703.

In other concert news, Jack’s Mannequin will perform Feb. 24 at the Murat Egyptian Room. Tickets, $24, or $21 if purchased in advance, are available by visiting www.livenation.com or by calling (877) 598-8703.

Daphane Park Asks: Do You Do VooDoo?

Carmel artist (now living and working in New York City) Daphane Park writes to tell us about her latest project:

hello all

if anyone happens to be in New Orleans...
I have a couple of pieces installed in City Park.
'hammock mother' an enormous hammock for 20 - 30 people to rest in at once, that I just made in the upper amazon with the Zapara.
and 'Super Conductor' a silk tent that functions as an orgone accumulator. I will be doing a performance inside of the tent
during the Voodoo Fest. This piece travels to Austin's Creative Research Laboratory mid Nov.

Don't call it a weiner roast; It's SausageFest!

Singer/Songwriter Tim Brickley asks Indy Social to remind everyone that tonight St. Thomas Aquinas kicks off its annual "SausageFest."

The outdoor fundraiser runs form 6 pm to midnight, on the parish grounds at 46th and Illinois. Tim Brickley and his Bleeding Hearts band will take the stage round 10 pm.

We're thinking this might be a nice place to stop after we hit the Fringe Festival at the Earth House.

Indy Gets Its Fringe On



We're excited about tonight's line up at the Indy Fringe Festival. Hope to see you all at the Earth House Collective. Get there early to rock out with DJ Dicky Fox, and stay for the performances (we are particularly psyched to see the debut of (Re)Collective Company's new show) and open mic.

Super Bowl Excitement Brewing in Indy


The 2012 Super Bowl may be years off, but the folks at the Indianapolis Convention and Visitors Association have been busy gearing up. In addition to the thousands of international visitors expected to pour into the city, the Super Bowl represents the ultimate event in corporate sponsorship and entertainment.

But why let the corporate fat cats have all the fun? The convention & visitor association offers just plain folks the chance to participate in a host activities. If you are really ambitious, why not consider volunteering?

For more information on community activities and voluteering, check out the official Indianapolis Super Bowl XLVI Committee site.
